Candace Cameron Bure Addresses Homophobia Claims on 'Fuller House'

Candace Cameron Bure denies allegations that she asked for Miss Benny's queer character to be removed from the show Fuller House. Miss Benny, a social media star who played the first openly gay character in the Full House world, claimed that one of the Tanner sisters was unwelcoming on set and tried to get the character removed. Bure responded by stating that she never asked for the character to be removed and that Fuller House has always welcomed a wide range of characters. Bure has faced criticism in the past for her comments on LGBTQ+ representation and her new faith-based network's focus on "traditional marriage."
