The former Hallmark sweetheart recently spoke in an interview about how excited she is to have transitioned to a media organization that will “keep traditional marriage at the core” of the content they produce and, needless to say, it didn’t go over well. JoJo Siwa, Hilarie Burton and more called her out for the unnecessarily insensitive targeted comment, and now, our favorite “lunatic country music person” Maren Morris, who has been a very vocal advocate for the LGBTQ+ community, has entered the chat. Queer Jewish Activist Matt Bernstein, who uses their Instagram platform to post educational infographics, shared one breaking down the situation. Selling Sunset’s Chrishell Stause left a series of clapping emojis under the post while actor Rafael De La Fuente commented, “Futile efforts to erase us. We are here and we’ve been here. It’s our time and there’s nothing the bigots can do about it.” Meanwhile, Morris took a more tongue-in-cheek approach, writing, “Make DJ Gay Again,” in reference to Bure’s Full House character. The backlash has been loud enough for Bure to take to Instagram in an attempt to clarify—though not apologize for—her stance. “It saddens me that the media is often seeking to divide us, even around a subject as comforting and merry as Christmas movies. But, given the toxic climate in our culture right now, I shouldn’t be surprised,” she wrote in part, pointing out that the published interview had left out “that people of all ethnicities and identities have and will continue to contribute to the network in great ways both in front and behind of the camera, which I encourage and fully support.” She said that she loved everyone of “any race, creed, sexuality, or political party,” and later called on everyone to “share God’s hope for all the world this Christmas season.” More News:
