Candace Cameron Bure Says People Are Less Worried About Being Canceled If They Share Their Faith

Candace Cameron Bure said people are less worried these days about being canceled if they talk about their faith, calling it a very “hopeful” time.

“I feel like people are just a little less afraid of being canceled now that they can share their faith openly or whatever their opinions are [even] if they’re not congruent with some other people’s opinions,” the 48-year-old actress said from the Movieguard Awards red carpet, per Fox News.

“And, so, I love seeing this in our country, and I’m hopeful,” she added. “I’m very hopeful.”

In 2022, the “Full House” star faced backlash and was accused of “bigotry” and of “selling out” after she voiced her opinion about traditional marriage when asked about leaving Hallmark for the Great American Family network.

In a Wall Street Journal interview, Bure said that GAF storylines would “keep traditional marriage at the core.” Her departure from the network came after Hallmark’s programming and advertising started involving LGBTQ-themed stories. Bure develops, produces and stars in movies on GAF.

Immediately following the media attention from her comments, Bure shared a lengthy statement addressing the backlash, saying that she had never intended to hurt anyone and that the media’s apparent need to divide people was only continuing to feed the current “toxic climate.”

“We need Christmas more than ever,” she said at the time.

A year later, the “Fuller House” actress dismissed attempts to “cancel” her because she shared her Christian and conservative views, calling it a test of her faith, as she quoted a Bible verse which deals with seeing the test of trials as a blessing, as previously reported.

“When I had a lot of these ‘bullets’ kind of hit me in the last year or so, they’ve been a really big challenge to me personally, to my heart, to my character, to my relationships, to my jobs,  Bure said. “I remember being so upset over it, because it’s like how do you recover?”

“I’ll just say it, Cancel Culture is very real,” she added. “And they were trying to cancel me.”

Bure said her brother, actor Kirk Cameron, called her up at the time and welcomed her into the James 1 club. It was then that Bure looked up the verse and found a message about overcoming struggles, which she said was comforting.

“Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance, let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing,” Bure read the quote. “…But blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.”
