The Young and the Restless - MESSAGE BOARDS

I wanted to add one more comment in case the thread did close.

This is for the people who don't know "how" the writers could write a compelling storyline involving people who are Gay. My neice, watches a Canadian teen drama called Degrassi. It's about teenagers who go to high school dealing with relationships, hate, bigotry, homosexuality, etc. I think it's a great show. And most recently, the show dove into the subject of homosexuality.

One of the characters wanted to put on the school play "Romeo and Juliet". Instead of having the classic Romeo/Juliet romance between a man and a woman, he decided to have two "Romeos" instead. One of the directors on the school play, is very religious, and believes that being gay is "unnatural". The other director did NOT care, and believed that love exists with the same sex. The religious director quit the show due to her beliefs of it being unnatural. There are also a group of athletes, who are incredibly homophobic, who tease, and spread hate over the play. It's a story of all sides, and standing up for what you believe in, and not allowing people to put you down for something they do not understand.

Long story short! THIS is a good example of a gay storyline. There is a mixture of all sides. If Y&R could write a story that is relevant to what being gay is, to ALL groups it would be great and relatable to the public. I think when people think "gay storyline" they automatically think of the same sex having graphic sex scenes. That doesn't have to be the case. This storyline on Degrassi, is for Teens. If the writers are not afraid to go there, why should Y&R?

I fully believe it's Noah and I think that's what came between him and Eden in Paris.
