Current mood: hopeful

a small vote against homophobia?
From the American Family Association:

"Procter & Gamble has resumed using explicit, open-mouth homosexual kissing in their soap opera, “As the World Turns.” P&G decided to include this type of content as a commitment to “diversity.” P&G stopped showing such scenes some months ago, but has now decided to again help promote the homosexual agenda which includes homosexual marriage.

Gay activists are hopeful that the P&G effort will desensitize viewers to the homosexual lifestyle and help make the unhealthy and immoral lifestyle more acceptable to society, especially to children and youth.

“As the World Turns” is owned and controlled completely by P&G. No network made this decision. P&G alone made the decision to support the homosexual agenda.


But, hey, Proctor and Gamble is letting people vote - should they be homophobic jerks or not? It's a free call, very quick.

To vote:
*call the number: 1-800-331-3774.
*you may be asked to Press 1 for English/2 for Spanish, I was not
*then they ask you if you are calling about something else (option 1) or the gay couple storyline (option 2) so hit 2 to get to the As the World Turns poll.
*press 1 to tell them you want the storyline to continue. (or two if you don't)

I don't watch soaps. But I hate the AFA and their desire to make all non-hetro people disappear or at least crawl into a shame hole. So I voted for the story line. I encourage you to do the same.

(and thanks to my incredible friend for bringing this to my attention)

i'm actually one who got SUCKED INTO the Luke/Noah storyline. ::blush:: i SWORE i'd never get sucked down into a soap opera again after my grandfather stopped watching and i didn't have someone to keep me up to date on what happened.

The storyline isn't BAD (for a soap) and they get short changed on the kissing front TIME AND AGAIN! The valentine's "fantasy meetings" ep... ever couple EXCEPT Luke and Noah got to kiss. The boys got a HUG. In the soap's defense, i think one of the boys is meant to be under 21 - so not showing anything REALLY explicit is kinda the NORM on under 21 characters.

They've dealt with coming to terms with not being straight. They've dealt with gay bashing and family issues when one comes out as gay. And i have to admit, i've actually enjoyed it. YES... it's done in an overblown, Soap-opera, drag the storyline out for MONTHS kinda way. But at least it's being SHOWN and being shown as HEALTHY and "Normal" and LOVING.

i've voted. And thank you for encouraging others to do so.

Peace,
the kendermouse
