Soap Protest Favors Gay Kiss, Do You?

Posted: 03 Mar 2008 08:42 AM CST

The love affair between two young men on the 52-year-old CBS soap opera “As the World Turns” has triggered a protest campaign by angry viewers.

Fans of the fictional romance between Luke Snyder and Noah Mayer want to know why the pair haven’t kissed on-screen since last September and are questioning whether it has something to do with one of the shows primary sponsors, Proctor & Gamble.

The angry fans have even created a website that counts down to the exact minute since Luke and Noah last kissed.

I have to admit it’s nice to see a gay relationship that’s not girl on girl and catering to the age old fantasies of men.

As the World Turns was always one of my grandmother’s favorites - I’m just glad she’s not still around to see her favorite soap heading in a direction that would have surely put her on a never ending tangent - the kind she was so famous for.

Ok, now the question, should daytime television feature gay relationships and intimate scenes or should that be reserved for cable?
