The Hallmark Channel will be reaching out to Zola to reestablish our partnership and reinstate the commercials." "The only difference between the commercials that were flagged and the ones that were approved was that the commercials that did not meet Hallmark's standards included a lesbian couple kissing," Chi said."Hallmark approved a commercial where a heterosexual couple kissed.
