Over the weekend Hallmark pulled and AD that showed same-sex marriage and many
people are completely shaming Hallmark for doing this and why not? Why would Hallmark
pull a commercial that shows same-sex marriage? Hallmark said that they pulled the
commercial because the controversy became a distraction. In the commercial two women,
Brides were talking about a wedding planning app and website that could help better
organize their wedding if they used it. And in the end, they shared a kiss. Now, what's
wrong with that? If it were a man and women would Hallmark have pulled it? Who is in
the right? Many famous stars like Ellen DeGeneres, William Shatner, Along with
Gavin Newsom The governor of California. They all had the same response they thought
that Hallmark was in the wrong and they should put back the commercial because there
was no right reason for them to remove the ad.
It is weird to think that Hallmark chose the loud minority of people that are against same sex marriage, or I believe they are in the minority. Hallmark should've stuck with their decision because they clearly support same sex marriage and pulling an ad that depicts that shows lack of belief or resolve for the support.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very controversial topic for Hallmark to be dealing with. I can see some backlash Hallmark might have received for even putting up the commercial might have enticed them to take it down. It's still no reason to take it down. Hallmark clearly supports same-sex marriage, by even creating the commercial but by pulling the ad, it makes Hallmark seem very untrustworthy and suspicious. I believe that Hallmark shouldn’t have pulled the ad becuase creating awareness and supporting same-sex marriage is very important in our society right now. We all need to support each other and by pulling the ad, Hallmark is doing the opposite.
