As the Gay World Turns: A Reason to Turn to the Competition

The current Soap Opera Weekly reports that Luke's story gets down to the nitty gritty this coming week when Luke comes out to his best friend, Kevin. The gritty of the nitty is that Luke has to perform mouth to mouth on his friend after being pronounced a faggot by the same friend. Except for Daniel Colson on the competition, most homosexual storylines are retreads of bigotry vs acceptance, but could As the World Turns actually be going where no other Daytime Drama has gone before, i.e. where the homophobe and the object of his hatred get involved? Beam us up if that's the case.

Here's a photo of Luke Grimaldi's portrayer, Van Hansis that we lifted from After Elton where you'll find an interesting article on Soaps and homosexuals from last March right here.
