Candace Cameron Bure of Full House fame has come under fire recently for her comments about the Great American Family network of which she is a chief creative officer. In response to a question about the subject in an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Bure said, “I think that Great American Family will keep traditional marriage at the core.”

Greg Rikaart, who plays both Kevin Fisher on The Young and the Restless and Leo Stark on Days of Our Lives, weighed in on the controversy with a tweet today, saying, “I wish upon @candacecbure the blessing of an LGBTQIA child or grandchild to open her mind and heart a bit, as that blessing has done for so many parents/grandparents I know.”

In addition to being an outspoken advocate for LGBTQIA equality, including the right to marry, Rikaart has been happily married to writer Robert Sudduth since 2015 and the couple share a son who was born in 2016.
