Candace Cameron Bure faces backlash after announcing ‘traditional marriage’ project
The actor Candace Cameron Bure is facing backlash following her recent comments about her new TV project that she said will prioritize portraying "traditional marriage."
Cameron Bure, 46, the former "Full House" star, made the remarks in a recently published interview with The Wall Street Journal Magazine. A reporter asked whether Amazing American Family, the fresh cable network she united after she left the Hallmark Channel this year, would feature same-sex couples as leads in holiday movies.
According to The Journal, Cameron Bure said no.
“I think that Great American Family will keep traditional marriage at the core,” she told the magazine.
On its social media pages, Wonderful American Family describes its programming as "celebrating faith, family and country." The channel is owned by Great American Media, a company started by Bill Abbott, a former executive of a Hallmark subsidiary.
Abbott gave The Wall Highway Journal a different respond from Cameron Bure's: "It’s certainly the year 2022, so we’re aware of the trends. There’s no whiteboard that says, ‘Yes, this’ or ‘No, we’ll never go here.’”
Candace Cameron Bure responds to 'traditional marriage' comment backlash
Candace Cameron Bure has responded to backlash she received over her recent comments about "traditional marriage."
In an interview with WSJ. Magazine published on Nov. 14, Bure was asked if her cable network Fantastic American Family would main attraction same-sex couples at the center of its holiday movies, as its rival Hallmark Channel has done in recent years.
The "Full House" alum, who also serves as the network's chief content officer, replied, "I think that Excellent American Family will maintain traditional marriage at the core."
The term "traditional marriage" is often used to define the institution of marriage as being between a man and a woman, a concept which excludes same-sex unions and marginalizes LGBTQ individuals.
Further opening up about her choice to join Great American Family in April, Bure said, "My heart wants to tell stories that have more meaning and purpose and depth behind them."
She added that the people behind the network are "Christians that devote the Lord and hope to promote faith programming and good family entertainment."
JoJo Siwa will 'never' be friends with Candace Cameron Bure after 'traditional marriage' comments
JoJo Siwa is reflecting on her rocky connection with Candace Cameron Bure.
Last summer, the YouTube actor went viral with a TikTok video dubbing Bure the "rudest celebrity" she'd ever met. The "Fuller House" actress publicly apologized and the two made nice.
But bad blood was reignited last November, after the Wall Street Journal published an interview with Bure about her faith-based channel Great American Family. Asked if the channel will feature LGBTQ storylines, Bure responded that programming will "keep traditional marriage" – meaning between a man and a lady – "at the core."
Siwa, who identifies as lgbtq+, criticized Bure's comments in an Instagram post at the time, writing, "This is rude and hurtful to a whole society of people."
Now, Siwa is elaborating on her complicated feelings abut Bure. Speaking to reality star Nick Viall on his "The Viall Files" podcast in an episode posted Thursday, Siwa called out Bure for seemingly wanting to "put down" the LGBTQ community.

Former "Full House" thespian Candace Cameron Bure's views on marriage are in the spotlight after a recent interview with The Wall Lane Journal. Bure left the Hallmark Channel earlier this year for cable network Great American Family, and when asked if she expects same-sex couples to be the leads in movies on the channel, she said, "I reflect that Great American Family will store traditional marriage at the core."
The comments sparked outrage among LBGT people online, including singer and dancer Jojo Siwa — who posted a photo on Instagram of a news article discussing Bure's comments.
"This is rude and hurtful to a whole community of people," she wrote. Bure's former "Full House" costar Jodie Sweetin commented on Siwa's post with, "You know I passion you."
This isn't the first time Siwa has criticized Bure. In July, Siwa called Bure the "rudest celebrity" she's ever met in a TikTok video that went viral, according to Billboard.
Bure responded to the online criticism, telling People, "It absolutely breaks my heart that anyone would ever think I intentionally would want to offend and wound anyone."
"I had also expressed in my interview, which was not included, that people
The CEO of Amazing American Family has made an attempt to distance the network from Candace Cameron Bure’s controversial claims regarding Gay content, but nonetheless stopped short of a complete rebuttal.
Bure in 2022 left the Hallmark Channel, where she’d appeared in numerous films for more than a decade, to join Great American Family as its chief creative officer. In a November interview with The Wall Street Journal discussing her fresh position, she said the network’s emphasis on “traditional marriage” meant that viewers shouldn’t expect to see LGBTQ+ storylines in its movies.
The “Full House” star’s comments were swiftly condemned by fellow actors as skillfully as LGBTQ+ activism groups. Speaking to Variety in an interview published Wednesday, Great American Family CEO Bill Abbott emphasized that Bure was “not speaking on behalf of” the network in her Wall Highway Journal chat.
“In terms of her personal views, it’s enjoy the disclaimer you see at the end of a movie or a series that says, ‘The views reflected here are not necessarily those of the company,’” he said.
But when asked if LGBTQ+ storylines and same-sex relationships would, in reality, be featured on the network, A
