  • Over two years ago, Full and Fuller House star Candace Cameron Bure made headlines for leaving Hallmark and signing with Great American Family, a new faith-based network. "I think that Great American Family will keep traditional marriage at the core," Bure told The Wall Street Journal at the time.

Candace Cameron Bure, known for her role in "Full House," has faced significant criticism following her comments about focusing on "traditional marriage" in her new projects with Great American Family (GAF) network. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Bure expressed that GAF would keep "traditional marriage at the core," which many interpreted as a slight against same-sex marriage. This statement led to backlash from fans and the entertainment community, including former co-star Jodie Sweetin, who publicly supported the LGBTQ+ community.

Bure attempted to clarify her stance, emphasizing her personal beliefs while stating she has no hate towards anyone, but the controversy has highlighted ongoing debates about representation in media.
