As long as there have been sisters there have been disagreements between them. For eight years, Candace Cameron Bure and Jodie Sweetin worked together on Full House as TV sisters but recently, a point of disagreement has arisen between them. It comes from Bure's comments about her move from Hallmark to GAF, where she says her films will focus more on "traditional marriage." Other big stars have responded to her comments, including LGBTQ-identifying viral star JoJo Siwa, with whom Bure had a tense back-and-forth this year. When Siwa condemned Bure's statements, Sweetin responded to Siwa's post in a supportive manner. Here is where everyone seems to stand. JoJo Siwa slams Candace Cameron Bure's traditional marriage comments and gets approval from Jodie Sweetin View this post on Instagram A post shared by JoJo Siwa (@itsjojosiwa) She's been a regular face on Hallmark, especially for Christmas films, for years, but Bure has recently moved to the Christian faith-based Great American Family (GAF). Hallmark has grown increasingly diverse over the years, even including a storyline in The Christmas House that follows two gay dads looking to adopt a child. In contrast to this, Bure says, "I think that Great American Family will keep traditional marriage at the core." She says, "I knew that the people behind Great American Family were Christians that love the Lord and wanted to promote faith programming and good family entertainment."

"Honestly, I can't believe ... she would not only create a movie with intention of excluding LGBTQIA+, but then also talk about it in the press," Siwa said on Instagram. "This is rude and hurtful to a whole community of people." In 2021, Siwa said she identifies with the LGBTQ+ community. Her post has become a place where other stars voiced their stance on the "traditional marriage" comments, including Jodie Sweetin.
