Candace Cameron Bure says new network won’t feature LGBT storylines, responds to critics

Christian actress Candace Cameron Bure has responded to online criticism after telling a news outlet that she doesn’t expect her new network, the Great American Family, to include LGBT storylines in its Christmas movies, blaming the media for seeking to create division.

Celebrities have taken to social media this week to criticize the 46-year-old Bure, who is best known for her role in the hit sitcom “Full House,” after she responded in the negative when asked by The Wall Street Journal whether there would be any same-sex storylines in projects produced by Great American Family.

“I think that Great American Family will keep traditional marriage at the core,” said Bure, 46, the chief creative officer of the Great American Family network — which aims to be a “God-and-country alternative for holiday entertainment.”

After receiving criticism from celebrities and the LGBT advocacy group GLAAD (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation), Bure responded in a Wednesday Instagram post. She said, “it breaks my heart that anyone would ever think I intentionally would want to offend and hurt anyone.”.. (Excerpt from The Christian Post)
