that GAF would be keeping “traditional marriage at the core” of its output, meaning it would be highly unlikely for GAF shows and films to include LGBTQ+ couples.
“Sometimes, we, as actors, don’t have control over which network buys the projects we are in, nor are we a part of the process in which they get sold,” Sweetin said in a statement. “So I was very surprised to learn by reading about it in the press yesterday that the independent film I worked on over a year ago was sold to Great American Family.”
Sweetin added, “I am disappointed, but in keeping with my mission of supporting the LGBTQ+ family, any potential or future money made from this sale will be donated to LGBTQ+ organizations.”the Sweetin-starring “Craft Me a Romance” was a part of its fall original movies lineup and will air on Saturday, Sept. 16 at 8 p.m. ET. Sweetin stars opposite Brent Bailey in the film, which centers on the owner of a quant arts and crafts store who must sell her store or be forced out of business.
“I’ve always tried to fight for equality and love for everyone,” Sweetin said at the time. “I feel like if you have a voice and you have a platform, it is incumbent on you to be loud and use it.”Read More About:
