In fact, she herself used the M2M presentation to disavow herself of same sex relationships and make political hay, while still being afraid to come out to her own daughter. It is so much better that the gay demographic is seen as something to be coveted, and even better when it is seen as a non-issue (as you said so eloquently Snapper in your blog "The New Black") Natalia and Olivia's ethnic background never was mentioned and maybe one day the fact that they are gay will also not matter. God help me, I think I just agreed with GL's label less relationship theory.ocean1bluenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522232293231604653.post-83736185465005718682009-09-25T11:17:12.581-07:002009-09-25T11:17:12.581-07:00Thank you for putting this, 'outrage' in c...Thank you for putting this, 'outrage' in context and in the perspective of the character and genre; which seems to be missing from most of the discussion I'm hearing.Laurie @ RelevantObscurityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130534477162451899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522232293231604653.post-87892528347637059202009-09-25T09:44:39.069-07:002009-09-25T09:44:39.069-07:00I agree, Snapper, I think this scheme is exactly t...I agree, Snapper, I think this scheme is exactly the kind of thing Dorian would do. I'll be curious to see how it all plays out. And MJinTenn makes a good point that more examples on TV/movies/etc. of gay stories will lead to more shrugging and less prejudice.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00241796091443881740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522232293231604653.post-75804224529129722362009-09-25T08:55:10.560-07:002009-09-25T08:55:10.560-07:00WORD, to your entire posting.

Thank you for your insight.<br /><br />I like more gay stuff on teevee for obvious reasons but mostly because eventually I think most people will just shrug about teh gay instead of getting their panties in a wad about it. So, yay, OLTL!MJinTennnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522232293231604653.post-70500447100550970402009-09-25T08:05:31.449-07:002009-09-25T08:05:31.449-07:00I'm torn on this one, as i, a gemini, am a lot...I'm torn on this one, as i, a gemini, am a lot of the time. I don't watch OLTL, except for a few clips here and there. I don't have a problem with this potential direction. After all, a political wedding stunt will raise more conversations about gay marriage rights and could be done in a fashion to change a few peoples minds (maybe?). at the very least it does sound like manipulative soap camp at its peak - i can take it or leave it.<br /><br />My problem with this, which doesn't get directed at those at OLTL but at our television climate in general (TPTB & the advertisers that govern them) that consistently allow for better representation and more air time to fake or pretend gay characters (this would also apply to the drunk cheerleader phenomenon). Its the big picture that irks me, but i know better than to punish OLTL for it. I will be curious to see if this end up overshadowing the real gay storyline they already have going on. I will be youtubing.DJ Bixbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09463888652274869794noreply@blogger.com
