Shownotes Transcript

The Hallmark Channel has been under fire as of late. They pulled an ad for Zola, the wedding website, that featured a lesbian couple, after this conservative advocacy group, One Millions Moms complained and wrote a negative blog post about them. Hallmark received so much backlash from patrons that they actually flip flopped and apologized for not airing it in the first place, but rather for pulling the ad that people were originally complaining to them about. Kelli O'Hara (filling in for VB) discusses with Lightning, what Hallmark got itself into.
