Full House alum Candace Cameron Bure has been making headlines since switching from her usual Hallmark stomping grounds to GAC. In the wake of all the chatter her comments about GAC and "traditional marriage" generated, Bure feels now more than ever that "cancel culture is real, and it's difficult, and it's hard." When asked about the move, Bure praised GAC as "Christians that love the Lord and wanted to promote faith programming and good family entertainment." Then, when asked if GAC films would have LGBTQ storylines, Bure said, "I think that Great American Family will keep traditional marriage at the core." Recently, Bure discussed cancel culture and its parallels to persecutory situations in other countries.

"there's all the places in the world, all different countries, where people get severely persecuted for their faith. I feel like we've had this cushion here in North America, where, you know, someone yells at us or someone says a mean, negative thing and our feelings get so hurt over it, and that isn't nearly the persecution that a lot of other people go through for being a Christian in other countries," mused Bure.

She added, "It’s hard, no matter what. Especially when you are a compassionate person and you have a heart for people. … It’s important that we don’t back down."

Hallmark had increasingly included LGBTQ characters and storylines in its holiday films; meanwhile, GAC CEO Bill Abbott said he was "aware of the trends" of 2022 but there was "no whiteboard that says, ‘Yes, this’ or ‘No, we’ll never go here.'"
