Danica McKellar supports her friend Neal Bledsoe's decision to exit Great American Family, but she's not about to follow in his footsteps.
Neal, a fixture in Christmas movies, announced that he was leaving GAF after Candace Cameron Bure's anti-LGBTQIA+ comments.
"Neal is a wonderful person," the "Wonder Years" star told Fox News Digital. "He's such a great actor and I have enjoyed working with him so much. He and I both share our love and support of the LGBT community for sure… (but) I don't agree with his interpretation of her comments. I just didn't see them the same way."
Last month, Candace made headlines after leaving the Hallmark Channel to become the chief creative officer for GAF. In speaking about the switch with the Wall Street Journal, the "Full House" actress said the network had no plans to feature same-sex couples. "I think that Great American Family will keep traditional marriage at the core," Candace told WSJ. The team at GAF, Candace said, are "Christians that love the Lord and wanted to promote faith programming and good family entertainment."
Soon after, Neal, who appeared in Marvel's "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D," said he was leaving GAF, telling Variety, "I hope GAF will change, but until everyone can be represented in their films with pride, my choice is clear."
He added, "I want to be very clear: 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."
Danica — who frequently stars opposite Neal in holiday movies, including most recently GAF's "Christmas at the Drive-In" — backs Candace and think her comments are unfairly being interpreted as absolute.
"[Bure] started the sentence with 'I think,' which is not definitive, and she ended it with 'at its core,' which doesn't mean exclusively," Danica said. "I don't agree with his interpretation, but I love him to death and I wish him well."
Danica's comments come just a few weeks after she publicly spoke about supporting same-sex couples and being a "new Christian."
"As I always have, I celebrate all forms of healthy love between adults, and I support representation. I was thrilled to have a role in a couple episodes of Home Economics earlier this year, and my husband and I were privileged to attend my good friend's beautiful wedding to his husband earlier this year in Mexico. At the time, we commented that it was one of the purest expressions of love we had ever seen," she wrote on Instagram. "The idea that Christianity would judge any form of love simply baffles me."
She added, "I'm still new to my faith journey, but as far as I can tell, Jesus loves and includes everyone. That's kind of His thing…"
Neal, for the record, commented on her Nov. 23 post, writing, "Bravo, McKellar. Proud of you."
