Thanks!

This little ditty on SoapNet outplays a lot of the regular soaps currently airing @ the moment.  Kyle and Eric are infinitly more interesting than Luke and Noah. 

Also...as a side rant...when in the hell is Chad Allen going to get his own series besides the Strachey stuff????

Anywho, it's worth checking out and thanks Anthony for posting your clips on YouTube.

Gays Sls: All you have to do is ask?

I'm always struck by how many people sweat up and down that the ones in charge didn't even blink when they suggested a gay character or a gay storyline? It really makes you wonder about who is doing the censoring. If it really TPTB? Are the writers Jean Passante self-censoring? If the question of gay characters really as simple as "all you had to do is ask" and just nobody other than out gay writers like Sri Rao, Bryan Kirkwood (HO) or Tom Chroust (VL) ever bother to ask? Because it would just never occurr to a straight writer or a straight writer would never have any storyline ideas for gay characters?

I don't get it

If you are "discusted [sic]" with gay media, then why are you hanging out on a gay media website?  If your post was supposed to be sarcastic, you missed the mark.  If you meant to hit every ill-informed cliche in the book, well then bravo, mission accomplished.

So on the assumption that you were actually serious, here is my response:

The program is going for a realistic portrayal of two characters beginning a relationship.  That includes kissing.  This is as true of gay couples as it is straight couples.

If you do not want to watch it, may I suggest you limit your viewing to DVD's of "Veggie Tales."

Honey, you need to go back

Honey, you need to go back into your hole with the other hate-mongers. Bye-Bye!

Well shelia...

...(if that's actually how you spell your own name) you are going to keep getting "slapped in the face" with portrayals of gay folks until you get it through your thick skull that some people are gay and some people are straight. That is the facts of life and just because your personal god has a problem with it doesn't mean that it isn't right, natural or okay with the rest of our Gods. 

And until you are paying for the production of every goddamn show on tv, it isn't "yours". It belongs to all of us. So go find other sinners to love, leave these ones alone.

 

 

 

I say we take the warning labels off everything and let nature take it's course.

THE ANSWER TO ANTI-GAY IS

MORE GAY.

Sorry Shelia,

If you really are real, and you want to be taken seriously, you're thumping your bible in the wrong GAYBORHOOD.

You can spew your hate-filled intolerant venom til KINGDOM COME, but the gays are here to stay and we ain't about to be LEFT BEHIND.

HOLLA!

Shelia there is something

Shelia there is something terribly deranged in your way of thinking (your mimicry, actually.) You must be in a miserable state if you feel a need to share your darkness here and that's why I am truly feeling sorry for you.

I would like to take your comment and wrap it up in a time capsule because I believe that one day in the future people will be unable to understand the bigotry that gay people face today and your screed, while it is insulting and ignorant now, someday it will be unbelievable that someone would use Gods will for such an evil purpose.
