-- Chris Goutman speaks about Luke and Noah and the kissing controversy Basically, he claims that he wasn't told not to have them kiss, just to keep the audience in mind. In essence, don't piss off the conservative crowd. Brilliant. Also, it's lovely to bring up Lily and Holden not kissing for three years because ... seriously, is he fucking serious? When they first met she was dating Dusty, and then she found out Iva was her mother and they thought they were fucking related. I don't know how long that lasted for, but I mean, honestly.

-- apocalyptothon submissions are open for five more days, y'all. *pokes you all*

-- ... um, that's about it, really.

You know there are some things which could be interpreted as hopeful for the future. But man, does he come off sounding like a huge, huge, huge douchebag.

But it's nice that it seems that ATWT has finally gotten the message.

And that "very rewarding" mean a huge romantic Nuke love scene during sweeps or in summer.

Lost had two people who were raised from birth TOGETHER humping...having two gay guys smooch is 'nothing'.

What are conservatives doing watching soap operas, exactly? My mother won't be caught dead watching one. (Which is good, because her head would explode from disapproval if she did, and I'd get stuck cleaning it up, probably.)

The interviewer is fantastic for doing everything short of saying "I CALL SHENANIGANS". God, what a load of turkey turds.

Complaining about boys kissing while off somewhere else on the show one woman's getting hooked on drugs, one woman is kidnapping the baby she gave up for adoption, another woman is sleeping with someone who isn't her husband, and a teenage boy is shooting the man who tried to rape his mother?

Because out of all of those, the two boys kissing is the one that's the biggest problem. *eye roll*

Goutman does one hell of a job making himself look like an asshole, doesn't he?

They've been pissing off conservatives just by HAVING a gay couple, much less having them KISS OMG.

They've been bitching about it all along, and the AFA's started an email campaign after this latest kiss to try and pressure them to stop giving into the "homosexual agenda."

I don't watch the show, but I've been trying to get people to hijack the campaign anyway to turn it around to encourage more gay-positive tv.

I know, right? Trying to sink into their heads that the conservative right will never be happy until they set Luke and Noah on fire and never speak of them again wouldn't work even if you used a hammer to do it.

"Um, hi. They're the only couple in an entire sequence that doesn't kiss."

"Well, DUH. Each couple is different lmao."

"And this one is different exactly why, Mr. Man. Oh, is it because they're teh ghey and you're so petrified of offending family values voters that you'll happily offend everyone else?"

You'll never convince conservatives, but hopefully you can convince the advertisers and the people behind the show through ratings, feedback and revenue.
