The conversation surrounding Candace Cameron Bure’s comment about “traditional marriage” continues while fellow Great American Family star Trevor Donovan has been commenting on the topic. After Bure told the Wall Street Journal that she hoped to “keep traditional marriage at the heart” of her work with GAF, many took issue with the comment, and the topic generated considerable controversy.
Alan Donovan, known for his roles 90210 And many holiday movies, saddled in Full house The actress’s comments are expressive diverse:
I feel that people should be and believe what they want, as long as they are kind and accepting of others. For those of you who have followed me since 90210, you know my heart and my personality. No matter who you love, no matter your race or religion, you matter.
The actor went on to share his views on acting in holiday films, and his thoughts on Puri, saying:
With mutual respect and acceptance, coexistence is possible. Based on the few months I’ve known Candace, I find her kind and passionate about her faith.
Based on the quote, it seems likely that Donovan met Bure when she joined the GAC earlier this year. Donovan left Hallmark, signing his deal with Great American Family in 2021. He has been focusing on creating anti-bullying content for GAF, and is currently working on a program called Upstanders Team.
Donovan isn’t the first Hallmark-related actor to comment on the matter. Former Hallmark star Hilarie Burton went on a mulletcalling her a “bigot” and saying “You’re riding the wave of prejudice all the way to the bank”. Along with Burton, the current Hallmark stars Holly Robinson Beatty and Jonathan Bennett responded Also, they both disagree with Fuller House Actress comments.
JoJo Siwa also posted about BureWhich makes clear her disapproval of the movie star’s comments on vacation. Youtube I posted again about Bure’s comments saying: “To purposely exclude someone because of who they love, that’s ridiculous.” GLAAD also responded to Bure’s comments Stating that it is “painful” to “use tradition as an excuse for exclusion”.
After all the backlash, Bure clarified her quote, saying that she didn’t mean to offend anyone, and that it broke her heart that people thought she “knew to intentionally offend and hurt anyone.” She also spoke of being a “devout Christian”, and said she was “called to love all people”. Bure has also said that Christianity is such an integral part of her personality that she sometimes assumes that everyone already knows that Her faith is the core of who she is.
The conversation surrounding Bure’s comments continues to evolve as more people weigh in on her quote about “traditional marriage.” As the holiday season heats up, and Donovan, Bure, and other Christmas movie stars like Betty and Bennett start to put up holiday content, I imagine there will be more discussion about what Bure said.
