One Million Moms complained when they saw the Zola ad that featured a same-sex wedding.
after conservative group, One Million Moms, published a petition urging Hallmark to “please reconsider airing commercials with same-sex couples.”, One Million Moms claimed that Hallmark “ruined” their family-friendly image by airing the ad and that they are “fed up with having the gay agenda crammed down our throats!” 25,000 people signed a petition urging Hallmark to pull the ad and the cable network ended up killing four of the six commercials.
Later, Hallmark’s parent company Crown Media Family Networks said that they ultimately pulled the ads because “the debate surrounding these commercials on all sides was distracting from the purpose of our network, which is to provide entertainment value.” After the news broke, an equal number of LGBT individuals and allies spoke up in defense of the Zola ad.
