The Hallmark Channel has now found itself caught in the crossfire between traditional conservatives and progressive activists for canceling an advertisement in which two lesbian women shared a kiss after One Million Moms launched a petition in protest.

As The Daily Wire reported on Sunday, the Hallmark Channel pulled from its platform an ad for the wedding planning and registry website Zola in response to a viral petition from the activist group One Million Moms, which was outraged over the presence of a lesbian wedding kiss. When pressed for comment, a spokesperson for Hallmark said the channel pulled the ad out of an ongoing policy to steer away from controversial content in favor of family entertainment. Critics of the decision have since been trashing Hallmark under the hashtag #BoycottHallmarkChannel.
