Hallmark apologized on Sunday after facing days of backlash for pulling four television ads that featured brides kissing each other. “Anything that detracts from this purpose is not who we are. We are truly sorry for the hurt and disappointment this has caused.”Hallmark said in the statement that it would work with GLAAD, a national L.G.B.T.Q. media advocacy organization, “to better represent the L.G.B.T.Q. community across our portfolio of brands,” and that it planned on contacting Zola to “re-establish our partnership and reinstate the commercials.”
