As a predominately a "family oriented" channel, we find the increasing emphasis on the gay lifestyle objectionable given that according statistics on approximately 5 percent of the population is gay. Major movie companies, other cable TV shows, and network TV have enough content to serve that population...please keep Hallmark just that a hallmark of traditional family viewing. "The Christmas House", a celebration of Christ's birthday was demeaned by the gay adoption and even screen kissing of gays. Sad. T User's recommendation: Avoid "The Christmas House" and other gay oriented Hallmark programs. Consider cancelling the channel.
