Hilarie Burton Calls Candace Cameron Bure a 'Bigot,' Slams Her Comments About Same-Sex Couples
Hilarie Burton is calling out Candace Cameron Bure over the comments she made about GAC Family and how the new network has no plans to feature same-sex couples in their movies.
The former Full House actress just gave an interview about her decision to leave the Hallmark Channel family and launch her new partnership with GAC, a network started by former Hallmark exec Bill Abbott.
“My heart wants to tell stories that have more meaning and purpose and depth behind them. I knew that the people behind Great American Family were Christians that love the Lord and wanted to promote faith programming and good family entertainment,” she told WSJ. Magazine, before adding that Hallmark “basically is a completely different network than when I started because of the change of leadership.”
Candace also made comments about same-sex couples that are not sitting well with a lot of people, including Hilarie.

She was asked if GAC would feature same-sex couples in their films and she replied, “I think that Great American Family will keep traditional marriage at the core.”
Abbott then chimed in, saying that “it’s certainly the year 2022, so we’re aware of the trends. There’s no whiteboard that says, ‘Yes, this’ or ‘No, we’ll never go here.’”
Hilarie took to Twitter to respond to the comments.
“Bigot. I don’t remember Jesus liking hypocrites like Candy. But sure. Make your money, honey. You ride that prejudice wave all the way to the bank,” she said.
Hilarie added about GAC, “Now they’re just openly admitting their bigotry. I called this sh-t out years ago when Abbott was at Hallmark. Glad they dumped him. Being LGBTQ isn’t a ‘trend.’ That guy and his network are disgusting. You too Candy. There is nothing untraditional about same-sex couples.”
