Say howdy to the handsome gay cowboy in Hallmark’s new Western drama
A post shared by J A K E F O Y (@jakefoy55)Hallmark, you’ve come along way, baby!After finallyacknowledging that queer people exist and putting LGBTQ+ folks in its holiday movies—thereby scaring Candace Cameron Bure off to the Great American Family network—The Hallmark Channel is proving it’s 100%.
committed to The Gay Agenda™.Case in point: We’re not only showing up in the network’s one-off Christmas movies; now we’re series regulars, too!
In a rough-and-tumble Western drama about a family of bull riders, no less! (Look out, Yellowstone, Hallmark’s coming for your bag.)We’re talking about Ride, one of Hallmark’s first scripted original series, which concerns itself with the McMurrays, a tight-knit ranch family in Colorado coping with the loss of their son and rodeo star, Austin.The youngest McMurray is a sweetie named Tuff (Jake Foy), an out and proud gay man who works on his family’s ranch, putting his bull-riding days behind him after his brother’s death.
And, like so many gays, Tuff loves his mama, Isabel (Three Men And A Baby‘s Nancy Travis).Only one episode of Ride has aired thus far, but it’s wonderful to see a character like Tuff so naturally play into the narrative.
