Soap Operas Just Not Gay Enough



Fans of As the World Turns think so. They say that the show treats the affection of hetero couples on the show differently than sodomites Luke and Noah:

...And the last straw apparently arrived on Valentine's Day, when every other couple but Nuke shared a kiss. They hugged instead. Online fans began a nationwide media blitz on Feb. 20 to bring attention to the show, which has been twice nominated for an award from the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD). 'Presenting a gay couple on television only to relegate them to insulting hugs and slaps on the back is the 21st century version of putting African Americans on the back of the bus,' wrote one disgruntled fan named Tony. 'We're simply supposed to be happy that we got the ride at all. This is 2008, and yet CBS and Procter & Gamble are clearly stuck in the past.' GLAAD media spokesman Damon Romine agreed with them that, 'while tremendous strides have been made on soaps, it's clear that we're not at a place where gay and transgender people are treated the same on daytime as they are on prime-time or cable.'"

They even have a Soap Operas Need More of Teh Gayz Seks website.

Next on the agenda: Making sure that there is atleast one punchfucking game per week on the Price is Right.

You might want to try spelling correctly next time you vulgarly defame such a subject that has you so heated.
