Oh I have many issues with GLAAD, at this point, I just figured "Oh what the hell, can't hurt." If they don't do anything, at least I logged a complaint. |

HAHAH :LMAO: I noted that also. I thought Scott would turn to him, point a finger and say "UH UH. Not so dear friend. Not so at all." To me I know it's rare to have two gays play gay or two straights play gay. DUH!!! Blind GAYDAR even sees that. :LMAO: :LMAO: Still cute though brett. very cute |

So, I think it's worth fighting, and I'm glad that it appears that people behind the scenes are saying it's worth fighting too. I've been watching OLTL again since Kish began appearing, but I've grown up with OLTL. My mother was initially a fan of AMC, but started watching OLTL when she was pregnant with me, as they aired back to back, and realized she liked it more. When I was growing up, my mother was still an on-and-off fan: some summer vacations we would watch together, some we wouldn't. One summer a good friend of mine started watching Passions, and we would call each other on the phone at one o'clock and watch that, then switch the channel over at 2 to see OLTL. When I started watching OLTL again a few months ago, my mother got excited and took that as a reason to resume watching too. My mother, however, shocked me in November--do you remember the day Kyle brought Fish lunch at the station? When they kissed my mother actually gasped and told me she didn't really get it. I was horrified. My mother is by no means a conservative woman, and that she had that reaction had me look at her in a different light. But over the past few months, things have changed. She's not a Fish fan really, but not because he's gay, but because she thinks he's been a scumbag in this baby pregnancy storyline and wants Kyle to dump him. When I told her a few days ago that Scott Clifton (her favorite) was fired, she was outraged. Over dinner tonight, I mentioned that there were more firings at OLTL. I hadn't managed to tell her yesterday because I was so upset and figured it wasn't worth the argument, as I know I like Kish more than she does. She asked me who, and I started telling her the whole story, knowing she was not as interested as I am. And at the end of it, she looked at me and said "That's terrible! We should write a letter." And then proceeded to complain about how none of her favorite characters are left and we should stop watching unless David Vickers is around. And this is my mother. My mother, a long-time fan, a woman who is almost 60 years old, a woman who watches LENO, for Pete's sake. So I thought it was worth fighting earlier today, because I thought that we should go down fighting, but now I think it's worth fighting because guys, I think we can win. But even if we can't, it's good to know it isn't just the Kish fans who are upset at this turn of events. |

I think the thing that is so upsetting and frustrating is that for a time the show far exceeded my expectations. Had Nuke been axed in the manner Kish is being axed, I don't think I'd feel quite the way I feel. The show attempted to tell a gay story no differently than the straight stories and I think on that count they succeeded--it just was too real or something for a group of bigots.

I saw the love in the interview, and the knee touching :grin: . But yeah, I'm totally ready to campaign. What are the steps to campaign?? Give me the first step. I did call ABC and leave a sad message. Am I really back to watching NUKE after April????? |

Or, like one commentor on the Perez article said, "I don't want to watch something I totally can't relate to." But apparently it's perfectly okay for the rest of us to watch straight people's/couple's plights that WE can't identify with? o_O Good to know. I'm a bi female & I relate to Kish on so many different levels - I've struggled with facets of my personality/my sexuality that I didn't want to admit; I've had issues with my family where I've had to go against what they believed in order to be true to myself; I've let my fears get in the way of love (although Kish had a way better outcome than my personal experiences, but I digress), etc. I seriously don't get how this "mainstream" couldn't find something relatable/identifiable with Fish/Kyle/Kish. |

I wrote a letter last night, I wrote a letter today, and I already have tomorrow's letter planned. You would be surprised at how many ways you can approach this. I am girded for this fight. It brings me back to my (not-so-long ago) baby protester days. Chanting and chaining myself to things was so much fun. But back to the present... So I will call and email and write letters because I do not want to look back later and think, "If only I had called maybe" or "If only I had wrote perhaps...."

I realize it's only been 24+ hours since the news broke, but I really want to hear what people like Anne Sweeney, Brian Frons, Frank Valentini, and Ron Carlivati have to say about this -- beyond the party line bullshit that was leaked to the press in the TV Guide article that devastated us all. But, as many of us have been bitching about Oliver's avoiding the truth regarding his being Sierra Rose's father, I doubt seriously any of these people will ever have the balls to face us. |
