The second movie on their list, Christmas on Cherry Lane is an ensemble piece that includes a gay couple. Jonathan Bennett, Hallmark’s go-to gay thespian for gay roles plays other side Vincent Rodriguez III. It airs December 9th.
The third film, Friends and Family Christmas centers on lesbian friends (Humberly Gonzalez & Ali Liebert) who must pose as a couple for the holidays… and you’ll never speculate what happens! This one premieres on December 17th.
So there you have it. As a reminder: The Hallmark Channel is premiering 42 – FORTY-TWO – novel Hallmark Christmas movies this season. And we’re suppos

However, despite the cheesiness, there is something so lighthearted and fun about these movies that is hard to ignore.
With Christmas approaching, I set out to watch a modern movie.
Number 8 on Netflix’s top ten charts was “Single All The Way,” released December 2nd, The movie centers on two queer best friends trying to navigate the holidays back ho

In a year of anti-LGBTQ backlash, Hallmark’s Christmas movies are a welcome signal of progress
A charming suburban couple welcomes a 6-year-old foster daughter on a joyous Christmas Eve. A successful New York lawyer and an ambitious Brooklyn photographer are set up on a blind appointment by their parents and fall in love, just in time to rejoice Christmas together. One might think that these movies — “Christmas on Cherry Lane” and “Friends and Family Christmas” — are exactly the sort of heartwarming, family-friendly holiday romances that conservative culture warriors would cheer.
But this year on the Hallmark Channel, there’s a plot twist: The main characters are gay.
