“My support for the LGBTQIA+ community is unconditional — nothing is worth my silence or their ability to live and love freely in a world that we are lucky enough to share with them,' said Bledsoe.

regarding Bure’s comments and invited her to a conversation with Sarah Kate Ellis, its president and CEO., saying, “It absolutely breaks my heart that anyone would ever think I intentionally would want to offend and hurt anyone,” according to People.

“I am grateful to be an integral part of a young and growing network,” the statement added. “I had also expressed in my interview, which was not included, that people of all ethnicities and identities have and will continue to contribute to the network in great ways both in front of and behind the camera, which I encourage and fully support. I’ve never been interested in proselytizing through my storytelling, but in celebrating God’s greatness in our lives through the stories I tell.

Freedoms of speech or religion, or even the freedom to express beliefs that I might vehemently disagree with, are not the issue here. This is about someone in an executive position speaking about deliberate exclusion on behalf of an entire network. This is why the phrase “traditional marriage” is as odious as it is baffling.

When we were discussing this, my friend wrote the following to me, which I share here with his permission, as his words speak to this more personally, eloquently, and truthfully than anything I could possibly say:

 

Thank you for your comment. Your comment will be published after being reviewed.

Given who Bure's brother is, I can't say I'm surprised.

And Neal Bledsoe is who? And why should anyone care about this?

Neal I am so proud that you did this. You have a new follower. I no longer consider myself as one sided Left as I used to be, BUT the actions of the networks to do this is indeed marginalizing a group of people and THAT is not right. I hope you know you have support.

He's being forced. Bullied. Sad. We support Candice!!!

Maybe you’re lucky to share filth and perversion but the majority of Americans don’t want that filth in our lives or in our holiday movies. Keep it in your bedroom where it belongs.

Who? No one knows him and no one cares. See ya.

Grow a pair

Where does it end?

Clowns 🤡

He can easily be replaced. Good bye 👋🏼

Who cares buttsoe

I would have potentially bought this, Neal becauseibledsoe, if the “timing” of your “unconditional support” was not suspicious. candacecbure has been honest from the start, so not sure what your angle is. You can’t fault her when you’re doing the same thing basically.🙄

goodasyou That’s a good Christian. Bravo to him.

Bye Felecia

He obviously is not a good fit for the network anyway so fill the position with someone who is. Plenty of networks will take him now.

Good for him.

This is America. He has a right to choose to leave just as Candace has a right to do movies that align with her faith. I stand with Candace. She did nothing wrong. He knew the type of movies GAC was going to produce but that didn’t stop him from doing them.

Good riddance.

Good for him for taking a stand!

he is the definition of a real man and fellow human-being ❤️ the failures of American families does not land on our table cos some of you have chosen a cruel narrative instead of compassion. You lost your way. reach out to all people & find millions of things you have in common

👋🏻

It’s funny, only liberals are allowed to believe WHATEVER they want and espouse it everywhere. The “community” wants acceptance, but only if you acquiesce to THEIR beliefs. Such hypocrisy .What’s wrong with her definition of marriage? Answer: NOTHING candacecbure

Never heard of him…..🥱

Plenty of actors out there ready to take his place.

Why is he making a federal case about a ‘traditional family’? why is every1 so up in arms about that comment. Bible believing people only believe in a traditional family it was around much longer than a gay family. You can’t expect everyone to agree with your views. Ridiculous.

Thanks Neal! That’s how you ally 🏳️‍🌈

Good. We support LGBTQIA+

“..in a world that we are lucky enough to share with them.” Lol. Please
