KEY POINTS

  • Jodie Sweetin said she has always been an outspoken ally for LGBTQ communities and Black Lives Matter
  • The "Full House" star admitted she was thrilled when the Respect for Marriage Act was passed
  • Sweetin said she felt honored and lucky to be at the forefront of advocacies for change

Jodie Sweetin has opened up about her fight for equality.

Sweetin got candid about her advocacies for equality, which included her support for LGBTQ communities. According to the "Full House" actress at The Wrap's Power Women Summit Wednesday, she didn't want to miss the opportunity of using her public platform to advocate for change.

"I have always been an outspoken ally for LGBTQ communities, for Black Lives Matter. I've always tried to fight for equality and love for everyone," Sweetin told Entertainment Tonight. "So I was so thrilled when the Respect for Marriage Act passed, because I know that was something that a lot of people were concerned about... I really was advocating for that, and it makes me so happy."

She added that she was "so honored and lucky that I get to be at the forefront, and to have these discussions"

"I feel like if you have a voice and you have a platform, it is incumbent on you to be loud and use it," the "Fuller House" star explained. "Whether people like it all the time or not, sometimes."

Sweetin said she loves what she does because not everyone has the time or is willing to get up and do it. That is why, she takes it as a "huge responsibility."

Sweetin's interview about her advocacy for change came after reports that she and her "Full House" co-star Candace Cameron Bure are in a "pretty serious" dispute. Cameron Bure had unfollowed her on Instagram. Meanwhile, many speculated that Sweetin shaded Cameron Bure when she showed her public support to JoJo Siwa, who called out Cameron Bure for her traditional marriage remarks. Cameron Bure said in an interview that she "will keep traditional marriage at the core" after joining the Great American Family network as the chief creative officer.

An anonymous source told ET that Cameron Bure and Sweetin have "different views and opinions on various important topics" because the latter "is progressive in her beliefs, and Candace is very religious in hers."

"Candace's quote about traditional marriage impacted a lot of people. Jodie does not agree with Candace's remarks and wanted to show where she stands. Candace is upset that Jodie chose to do this in a public way instead of talking to her one-on-one," the source added.

Cameron Bure clarified that her traditional marriage remark wasn't meant to be offensive. "It absolutely breaks my heart that anyone would ever think I intentionally would want to offend and hurt anyone," she said in a statement on Instagram.

"It saddens me that the media is often seeking to divide us, even around a subject as comforting and merry as Christmas movies. But, given the toxic climate in our culture right now, I shouldn't be surprised. We need Christmas more than ever," she continued.

"I am a devoted Christian. Which means that I believe that every human being bears the image of God. Because of that, I am called to love all people, and I do."
