It's called the Great American Family and the newspaper describes it as "God's alternative to

Among the hundreds of films about stressed executives who return to their town to stay in a quaint country house, frolick in the snow with their old friend from high school and discover the power of love, there will not be any LGTBI character.

Candace Cameron Bure has faced criticism from many colleagues, but she probably has the support of her brother, fellow actor Kirk Cameron, with whom she shares not only kinship but a very similar career and life path.

Kirk also rose to fame with a 1990s family sitcom,

.

He also became a fervent Christian (in fact, his beliefs limited many plots of the series and ended up precipitating the departure of colleagues and producers).

And later he also specialized in second-rate Christian-themed TV movies.

The homophobic remarks he made in March 2012 on CNN — "I think it's unnatural, detrimental and destructive to civilization," he told a stunned Pierce Morgan — ended up burying his career.

His sister has the same convictions, but a much kinder public profile.

Trying to appease the criticism and preserve his image, he has decided to clarify the matter with a

on his Instagram account —where he has 5.6 million followers— in which he claims to be a Christian, ambiguously assuring that he loves everyone world, even those who insult her.

In the message, she also laments that "the media tries to divide us even on a topic as happy and comforting as Christmas movies."

She does not specifically mention the LGTBI collective at any time, but she writes that of God up to 11 times.
