CBS and Procter and Gamble have been caught in a pincers attack over a storyline involving a gay couple on the long-running As the World Turns, the Los Angeles Times indicated today (Friday). Gay activists have complained that two characters, a young gay couple named Luke and Noah (portrayed by Van Hansis and Jake Silbermann), have not been allowed to kiss or behave on camera the way heterosexual couples do. Damon Romine of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) told the newspaper 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." On the other hand, the American Family Assn. on Thursday urged members to contact Procter and Gamble to demand that it stop sponsoring "overtly pro-homosexual television programs." A spokeswoman for the company, which produces ATWT, said "We're trying to be sensitive to all the different audiences who watch our show. We do make our decision based on what we think is best for the show's diverse audience and what's best creatively."

Have I mentioned lately how much I hate the AFA? 'Cause I do. SO MUCH.

::stares:: No, that is clearly hot. Very very very hot. Okay, I have no idea of the context, but I really really want more clips like that.

::goes to watch it again, y'know, for research into, uh...something::

Here, this is when Noah still thought he was straight, and they just had a bunch of sexual tension. *snerk*

Yup, straight. Definitely straight. Couldn't be any straighter. ::snerk::

IT HAS THE DEVIL IN IT.

Because, you know, only the devil is responsible for me putting off my paper to watching ATWT clips on youtube.

I don't even LIKE soap operas.
