    Jodie Sweetin Donating Film’s Earnings to LGBTQ+ Groups

    Actress Jodie Sweetin is disappointed her new film “Craft Me a Romance” will air on Great American Family. It’s kinda like a more…preachy Hallmark. The channel focuses on “traditional marriage” (read as, nothing LGBTQ+-inclusive), and is championed by her former “Full(er) House” co-star, Candace Cameron Bure.

    In a statement, Sweetin expressed she had no idea the rom-com would air on the channel. “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,” she said. “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.”

    “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,” she added.

    Her disappointment is due in part to an interview her onscreen “Full House” sister Cameron Bure did with The Wall Street Journal in November. Bure claimed Great American Family focuses on “traditional marriage.” In contrast to the Hallmark Channel, which Cameron Bure previously worked with, doing several Christmas rom-coms, featuring LGBTQ+ characters.

    Last week, the Great American Family channel announced Sweetin’s movie “Craft Me a Romance” would air on September 16th. In the film, she stars as the owner of an arts and crafts store. When she learns that the head of a competing company is demanding that she sell her business or risk getting shut down.

    “I think that Great American Family will keep traditional marriage at the core,” Bure said. “I knew that the people behind Great American Family were Christians that love the Lord and wanted to promote faith programming and good family entertainment.”

    Bure moved to the Great American Family channel’s parent company, Great American Media, in April 2022. Ending her partnership with the Hallmark Channel that has lasted over a decade. Her deal includes an executive role with Great American. She also believes the company shares her “vision of creating compelling wholesome content for an audience who wants to watch programming for and with the whole family.”
