Actor Neal Bledsoe is taking a stand against Great American Familys less than inclusive approach to holiday filmmaking.

Bledsoe, whose credits include The Mysteries of Laura and Shameless, announced Monday that hell no longer appear in films for Great American Family after Candace Cameron Bure , the networks chief content officer, said viewers shouldnt expect to see LGBTQ storylines in its Christmas movies.

I cannot take comfort from, nor will I give refuge to, those who excuse exclusion and promote division in any way, shape, or form, Bledsoe said in a statement published by Variety . Everyone is entitled to their beliefs, and these are mine: the recent comments made by leadership at Great American Family are hurtful, wrong, and reflect an ideology that prioritizes judgment over love.

Bledsoe can currently be seen in Great American Familys Christmas at the Drive-In opposite Danica McKellar, but said he wont promote the movie in light of the networks stance on queer representation. Though he didnt mention Bure by name in his remarks, he pointed to someone in an executive position speaking about deliberate exclusion on behalf of an entire network as the impetus for his decision to step away.

I was raised as a Christian, and believe in the essential message of love and forgiveness, Bledsoe said.

He said he hopes in the future to work with creators who put no limits on the stories we tell and follow through on their message of values with open arms, adding: My support for the LGBTQIA+ community is unconditional nothing is worth my silence or their ability to live and love freely in a world that we are lucky enough to share with them.
