Until 2020, Hallmark fans tuned into the network for seasonal romcoms, mysteries, and dramas, assured that nothing unclean would cross their screens.
That all changed when Bill Abbott left Hallmark after refusing to air a commercial featuring a lesbian couple. (Abbott has since started Great American Family channel, and ALL the programming is clean and refreshing!)
Since 2020, Hallmark has gradually introduced a steady stream of LGBTQ characters into their stories like you slow boil a frog, hoping that viewer preferences will ultimately adjust until everyone accepts homosexuality as a normal lifestyle choice rather than the perversion it actually is.
![2024 Hallmark Christmas movies that have LGBTQ characters](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a1c3c7_7e96c48c16e54a8c935be10e884b19a5~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_940,h_788,al_c,q_85,enc_auto/a1c3c7_7e96c48c16e54a8c935be10e884b19a5~mv2.jpg)
Hallmark initially tested the waters with innuendos and brief flirtatious smiles between gay characters that happened so quickly they were nearly subliminal. By Countdown to Christmas 2024, however, Hallmark had gone "all in" on celebrating perversion rather than Christmas.
Gay characters or references contaminated nearly 25% of the Hallmark 2024 Christmas lineup. Hallmark made the disastrous decision to cater to 6% of the population at the risk of offending the remaining 94% who aren't sexual deviants. That doesn't sound like a very good business model.
While some pink-haired, heavily tattooed, and obese people with nose rings applaud Hallmark's efforts to be inclusive of society's perverts, the majority of viewers do not appreciate Hallmark using its platform to desensitize its audience to the biblically condemned lifestyle in an attempt to normalize what is utterly immoral and reprobate. If you see someone about to walk off a cliff, do you tell them to take a giant step forward, or warn them to turn back? Hallmark and those who support the LGBTQ are cheering for their fellow man to jump off the edge of eternity, straight into hell.
The only way to curb Hallmark's outright onslaught against viewers is to hit them in the pocketbook. If every movie they produce with gay characters tanks, maybe they will take notice.
Listed below are all the 2024 Hallmark Christmas movies that include LGBTQ characters or references, starting with the "least gay." Avoid the replays and send Hallmark a clear message--no more filth!
The Christmas Quest Starring Lacey Chabert & Kristoffer Polaha
The Christmas Quest was filmed on-location in Iceland, and in one brief scene, Lacey Chabert and Kristoffer Polaha are filmed on Rainbow Street in Reykjavik. If you glanced away for mere seconds, you may have missed it.
Iceland is considered one of the most LGBTQ-friendly countries in the world, and this street painted in rainbow colors is designed to represent Iceland's friendliness and acceptance towards its LGBTQ community.
Hallmark likely includes this Easter egg to affirm the random LGBTQ person who might be watching, and they use Chabert and Polaha like pawns to condone the lifestyle. It's a shame the two stars compromised their morals for a paycheck.

Happy Howlidays Starring Jessica Lowndes and Ezra Moreland
Ezra Moreland was the winner of the Finding Mr. Christmas special that ran on Hallmark+ and was hosted by Hallmark's gay poster child, Jonathan Bennett.
In this movie, Bennett makes a cameo appearance as someone who is adopting a pet with his "partner," Dale.

Hallmark doesn't miss an opportunity to include LGBTQ messaging, like sniper fire, into movies before getting back to the "real" story.
A Novel Noel Starring Julie Gonzalo and Brendan Penny
In A Novel Noel, the main characters spend time in a local pub, and the pub owner is gay. He shares his story about falling in love with a man, how the two of them built the pub together, and then how his partner died. (Yeah, probably from AIDS).
While the pub owner is in multiple scenes, his gayness is mostly downplayed. As in many Hallmark movies that include gay characters, the part is manufactured to appease the DEI gods because he could have been straight (aka "normal'), and it wouldn't have changed anything about the story.
![A Novel Holiday includes a gay pub owner.](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a1c3c7_0655cd1c3af34caabf9376fa9f4cff51~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_768,h_512,al_c,q_90,enc_auto/a1c3c7_0655cd1c3af34caabf9376fa9f4cff51~mv2.png)
Holiday Mismatch Starring Caroline Rhea and Beth Broderick
This is the story about two meddling moms who dislike each other who accidentally set up their adult children via a dating app. As they tag-team to stop the romance, they develop an unexpected friendship.
![In Holiday Mismatch, there are gay characters](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a1c3c7_b24879a181824a4e97afa08bb45ebdf8~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_750,h_500,al_c,q_90,enc_auto/a1c3c7_b24879a181824a4e97afa08bb45ebdf8~mv2.png)
Lauren and Shane end up liking each other, despite their moms' attempts to break them up.
Shane toys with the idea of selling the theatre he manages, and he consults his brother, Aiden, throughout the movie, who is a married, gay man. In most scenes, Aiden and his "husband" stand around like pieces of furniture, displaying all the stereotypical, effeminate gestures. Looks like this movie was aptly named, but the "mismatch" is the same-sex couple.
Leah's Perfect Gift Starring Emily Arlook, Evan Roderick, and Barbara Niven
Leah is a Jewish girl who looks forward to celebrating Christmas with her boyfriend, Graham--a spineless guy who allows his mother to mistreat his girlfriend for the majority of the movie.
![Leah's Perfect Gift includes lesbian character](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a1c3c7_d9c834bc2e884afca71c33fc634a9bdb~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_750,h_500,al_c,q_90,enc_auto/a1c3c7_d9c834bc2e884afca71c33fc634a9bdb~mv2.png)
Graham's sister, Maddie, reveals that she's a lesbian early in the movie. To kill two birds with one stone, even more DEI boxes are checked in this movie. Maddie tries to avoid an ex-girlfriend, who is black, and later makes the acquaintance of a new potential love, who is also black.
If the movie didn't already stink to begin with, the lesbian thread delivered the death blow.
The 5-Year Christmas Party Starring Katie Findlay & Jordan Fish
Hands down, The 5-Year Christmas Party was the most WOKE Hallmark movie of the 2024 season, which is probably why it was a total bomb.
In her fantasy world, Findlay herself uses they/them pronouns and claims to be queer and gender fluid. Normal people don't really understand what all this made-up vocabulary means, so let me sum it up: she's a whacko.
![The 5-Year Christmas Party includes flaming gay characters](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a1c3c7_3cc36aa53f4c4b1f9b3ae1389aa27cc6~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_750,h_500,al_c,q_90,enc_auto/a1c3c7_3cc36aa53f4c4b1f9b3ae1389aa27cc6~mv2.png)
In the movie, Alice's roommate, Daniel is a flamboyantly gay Asian who is in a biracial relationship (of course). It makes your skin crawl to watch.
Confessions of a Christmas Letter Starring Angela Kinsey, Alec Santos, and Lillian Doucet-Roche
Of all the 2024 Christmas movies, Confessions of a Christmas Letter wins the award for dumbest Hallmark movie of all-time. The plot is stupid, the characters are ridiculous, and the script is poorly written.
![LGBTQ characters from Confessions of a Christmas Letter](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a1c3c7_0dd195a3d2684b6c85d825b32722a98a~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_750,h_500,al_c,q_90,enc_auto/a1c3c7_0dd195a3d2684b6c85d825b32722a98a~mv2.png)
The movie involves families writing annual Christmas letters to earn a spot on the town's Hall of Fame and features another flashy, biracial pairing that is sure to make you choke on your eggnog.
Jingle Bell Run Starring Ashley Williams and Andrew Walker
Jingle Bell Run is such a fun movie! A brainy bookworm and a jock are an unlikely pair, but they must learn to work together to win The Holiday Dash where they each can snag one million dollars. The chemistry is great, the dialogue is humorous, and the moral is about generosity and teamwork.
![Jingle Bell Run includes a homosexual male couple](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a1c3c7_4b52c48eceac4688a28a977134355daa~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_750,h_500,al_c,q_90,enc_auto/a1c3c7_4b52c48eceac4688a28a977134355daa~mv2.png)
Two gay men who are paired up for the competition evolve into a couple throughout the movie, so they receive a LOT of airtime. At the end, they share a giant kiss that is guaranteed to empty the contents of your stomach.
A '90s Christmas Starring Eva Bourne, Chandler Massey, and Katherine Barrell
This time travel story is very engaging as Lucy is forced to choose between her current life and the life she could have had with Matt.
Unfortunately, Hallmark totally ruins it with another HEAVY dose of homosexuality. Not only is there a flaming gay co-worker who invites Lucy to his house for Christmas since HIS BOYFRIEND is making ham, but Lucy cheers her sister to "come out of the closet" and assures her it's the brave and courageous thing to do. The movie is more of a celebration of perversion rather than Christmas.
![A '90s Christmas encourages a character to come out of the closet](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a1c3c7_8086fc676b704e5198202d4020e79747~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_333,h_500,al_c,q_85,enc_auto/a1c3c7_8086fc676b704e5198202d4020e79747~mv2.png)
Deck the Walls Starring Ashley Greene and Wes Brown
Rose's brother, Sal, is an integral part of the story about two guys who are in a house-flipping business. Sal acts like a caricature of a woman--he's effeminate and ostentatious to the highest degree. His shrill, gay voice pierces many scenes and is total cringe. His big moment is when he realizes an old childhood rival is also gay, and the two happily do the gay wiggle walk towards the house like boards are wedged up their butts (they wish).
![Deck the Walls is painful to watch with the ultra effeminate male lead](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a1c3c7_7de0d2efa0094172bbd00fae7b8175e4~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_750,h_500,al_c,q_90,enc_auto/a1c3c7_7de0d2efa0094172bbd00fae7b8175e4~mv2.png)
LGBTQ Storylines Likely Won't Stop If Fans Tolerate Them
Companies like Bud Light, Target, Disney, and others have suffered significant backlash from shoving left-wing, woke ideology down the throats of consumers. Doing so not only tarnished their brands but resulted in severe blows to their bottom lines. In some instances, the corporations back-pedaled in damage-control mode to win back consumers, but in others, the companies doubled down despite the financial ramifications.
If Hallmark viewers continue tolerating LGBTQ-laced movies, the network will only increase their efforts to normalize sexual deviancy, immorality, and sin.
Hold Hallmark accountable. Don't let them get away with it.
When Hallmark infuriated viewers by streaming shows on Hallmark+ rather than regular network channels, the backlash was swift! The audience pushed back and let Hallmark know they were already paying for the channels and were refusing to subscribe to the streaming service. Fans felt like they were thrown under the bus--after being loyal viewers for years, Hallmark was selling them out. Hallmark quickly walked back some of their decisions and returned to airing programs and movies on the cable channels first and then Hallmark+ the next day. While Hallmark+ continues to showcase additional unique content, fans got the better end of the deal.
Reach out to Hallmark via email or on social media and let them know you want clean programming and will refuse to watch any movie or series with LGBTQ characters.
Hallmark is tricky. On rare occasions, you can discern from the previews or the promotional pictures that a character is LGBTQ. Most of the time, however, Hallmark seems to deliberately avoid showing scenes or photos of the gay characters, almost like they're afraid the majority of the audience won't tune in if this fact is made known. In many instances, the LGBTQ characters reveal themselves further along in the movie or show, after you, the viewer, is already hooked.
