Luke Macfarlane, the star of Hallmark Plus's new show, finds support in his faith amidst the current climate for LGBTQ+ Americans. Attending an inclusive Episcopal church, he advocates for kindness and empathy over judgment. Macfarlane expresses disappointment in how many engage with differing perspectives, emphasizing that understanding others' feelings should be prioritized. He reflects on his journey of faith while living openly as a gay parent in Los Angeles. Additionally, he promotes a kinder masculinity, challenging the notion that niceness equates to weakness, asserting his belief in the power of kindness at 45.
I just wish people [would] operate a little bit more from, How was the other person feeling? rather than telling the person that what they feel is wrong, Macfarlane said.
At least in my understanding of scripture in the life of Jesus, I don't think that's what he had in mind, he said of moves to cast out marginalized people.
I'm grateful for a continuing conversation with myself and some really smart, sensitive people about what it means to have faith and live in Los Angeles.
At least right now at 45, I'm feeling it doesn't hurt you to be kind.
