She’s got jokes! Maren Morris spoke out after Candace Cameron Bure revealed she wanted to tell more stories about “traditional marriage” — and suggested a tweak to the actress’ iconic Full House character.
“Make DJ [Tanner] gay again,” Morris, 32, wrote via an Instagram comment on Wednesday, November 16, under a post shared by pal Sophia Bush that slammed Cameron Bure, 46, for her recent controversial takes.
The post, initially uploaded by Matt Bernstein, read: “You went decades without ever having to see an LGBTQ character on screen. Now, we’re in 1 out of 5 movies. Sorry if this disturbs you. Sending thoughts and prayers.”
He continued, “Full House’s Candace Cameron Bure has starred in Hallmark holiday films since 2008, but no more. This year — while Hallmark is releasing its first ever film featuring a gay couple — Bure has left the network, motiving to the Great American Family network (GAF) instead. … What exactly does ‘traditional marriage’ mean?

A marriage that doesn’t end in divorce but really should? … If you mean heterosexual, just say that.”
Bernstein, 23, captioned the post, “Break a leg girl lol.”
Cameron Bure — who portrayed DJ Tanner on Full House from 1987 to 1995 and then returned for its subsequent reboot from 2016 to 2020 — first made headlines for her comments to WSJ. Magazine in an article that was published on Monday, November 14.

“My heart wants to tell stories that have more meaning and purpose and depth behind them,” she told the outlet earlier this
