McKellar continued, “When [Bure] was talking about the portrayal of heterosexual couples in the movies, she started the sentence with ‘I think,’ which is not definitive, and she ended it with ‘at its core,’ which doesn’t mean exclusively.”
She laternoted: “I like to think that the best place for division is in math class. So let’s keep it where it belongs and focus on happy togetherness and unity.”
Bledsoe, 41, who starred with McKellar in bothThe Winter PalaceandChristmas at the Drive-Inthis year, announced his decision to leave the network earlier this month in a statement toVariety.
“My life wouldn’t be where it is today without the love, support, and guidance of the LGBTQIA+ community… I owe them a great debt,” said Bledsoe. “As someone who struggled as a young man with our society’s extremely narrow definition of masculinity, it was their community that provided me with refuge and a guiding lightwhen my life felt lost.”

He continued, “And now, if I cannot stand up for that community in their time of need, my debt to them means nothing. So, I want to be very clear: my support for the LGBTQIA+ community is unconditional – nothing is worth my silence or their ability to live and love freely in a world that we are lucky enough to share with them.”
In an interview withThe Wall Street Journal, Bure, 46, sparked pushback when she said that she was interested in telling stories that centered on “traditional marriage,” and that the Great America Family would differ from the increasingly inclusive content seen on her former network, the Hallmark Channel.

“I am a devoted Christian. Which means that I believe that every human being bears the image of God,” she added. “Because of that, I am called to love all people, and I do.

“My heart yearns to build bridges and bring people one step closer to God, to love others well, and to simply be a reflection of God’s huge love for all of us,” she continued.
“I celebrate all forms of healthy love between adults, andI support representation,” she wrote. “I was thrilled to have a role in a couple episodes of Home Economics earlier this year, and my husband and I were privileged to attend my good friend’s beautiful wedding to his husband earlier this year in Mexico. At the time, we commented that it was one of the purest expressions of love we had ever seen.
“The idea that Christianity would judge any form of love simply baffles me,” she added.
