Earlier this week, Neal Bledsoe announced that he would be distancing himself from Great American Family following the viral and polarizing comments made by Candace Cameron Bure.
The 41-year-old Canadian actor had starred in Christmas at the Drive-In and The Winter Palace for the channel.
“My life wouldn’t be where it is today without the love, support, and guidance of the LGBTQIA+ community. From my mentors in college, to the myriad of agents and managers, writers and directors, teachers and colleagues, and, of course, my dear friends and family, who have all touched my life, I owe them a great debt,” he shared in his statement.
Neal added of Candace‘s comments, “The phrase ‘traditional marriage’ is as odious as it is baffling. Not simply wrong in its morality, it’s also a moot point, when you consider that most romantic movies don’t feature married couples at all, nor even weddings, but simply people meeting and falling in love. To describe that love and the full human representation of the LGBTQIA+ community as a ‘trend’ is also both troubling and confusing.”
After his statement and decision, many of Hallmark and other stars have praised his decision – which is a network he’s actually starred on before, and you will be able to check out his movies on there in the coming weeks!
