More Homophobia from the AFA.Support Luke & Noah!

The American Family Association (AFA) is 'taking action' AGAINST the committed gay couple, Luke and Noah, on CBS soap As The World Turns.

They don't want anymore of what they call 'repulsive' kissing between the two.

Yeah, well, we want MORE!

We must stand together to show our support for Luke and Noah and SHUT DOWN the AFA's campaign.





According to their site, the AFA "represents and stands for traditional family values" and believes "in holding accountable the companies which sponsor programs attacking traditional family values."

Here's an excerpt of the bigoted 'action alert' the AFA sent to members after Luke and Noah's latest kiss aired on the soap.

Procter & Gamble has resumed using explicit, open-mouth homosexual kissing in their soap opera, "As the World Turns." P&G decided to include this type of content as a commitment to "diversity." P&G stopped showing such scenes some months ago, but has now decided to again help promote the homosexual agenda which includes homosexual marriage.

Gay activists are hopeful that the P&G effort will desensitize viewers to the homosexual lifestyle and help make the unhealthy and immoral lifestyle more acceptable to society, especially to children and youth.

View a scene from the April 23, 2008 episode by P&G. WARNING – content is repulsive!

"As the World Turns" is owned and controlled completely by P&G. No network made this decision. P&G alone made the decision to support the homosexual agenda.

P&G needs to hear from you today. We have provided a sample letter for you to send to Chairman Lafley, but strongly encourage you to add a personal message.

The AFA are a bunch of bigoted hate mongers!

Isn't infidelity totally against family values? Why no campaigns against infidelity in the numerous shows that glorify such 'sin'?

Luke and Noah are a committed couple–people in love kiss. Gay people are normal. We're you're brothers, sisters, mothers, father.

The AFA needs to stop drinking Intolerade!

P&G, who produce the show, have set up a line in response to the AFA's push.

Call P&G to register your support of Luke and Noah: 1-800-331-3774.

Do it! Do it! Do it!

P.S. We can't believe P&G actually set up a freakin' phone number in response to this. But, that's why it's even more important for you to call and show your support!

"Luke and Noah are a committed couple"

I don't watch this show, but didn't I read somewhere that one of these characters is married (on the show, I mean)?

You are correct DG. Noah married Ameera, an Iraqi refugee, in order for her to stay in the country. They are living together and she's making a play for him. I am not happy with that part of the story line at all as it was obviously to placate. This weeks kiss gives me some hope that the writers will actually let it be a true gay love story.

I don't even watch the show, but I phoned in my support.

I've been watching this show since they had their first kiss. I can't believe they haven't had a bedroom scene yet! Come on! Show us some skin!!

[lildogs]

Posted: 4/29/08 at 4:50pm

Did you just start watching touchme? Or have you been a fan for a while? I grew up on this show...

[touchmeinthemorning]

Posted: 4/29/08 at 4:53pm

Naw, I started watching when the news came out about the boys having a kissy kiss. I can't resist a straight-turned-gay plotline...even on a soap.

Just askin--didn't know if you were around back in the Brian Bloom/Jon Hensley days...halcyon indeed.

What's your take on Martha Byrne's departure, lildogs?

[lildogs]

Posted: 4/29/08 at 5:15pm

I didn't know she left! I don't really watch anymore--I was absolutely MAD about it in the 80s though--I started watching when Barbara got rid of James Stenbeck the FIRST time in a rainstorm I think it was. This was right before we find out about Lily being Iva's daughter, the rape, Lily and Holden being related, etc. Jeez...I can't believe I remember so much.

I even remember Larry Pine as the villain, Farley Granger as Shannon's uncle, and that wonderful actress whose name escapes me that played Shannon's aunt/confidante.

ATWT has been "my" soap opera for 40 years. Brian Bloom -- yummiest thing EVER! Martha left, but came back -- she is with the show now and is Luke's mom. LOVE her! She's quite the Broadway/Cabaret performer, also.

Yeah, you can call as many times as you like. It does not take very long and every call does count.I've called about 6 times today so far and will do it for the rest of the week.

Didn't Julianne Moore get her start on this soap (playing twins)?

[SonofMammaMiaSam]

Posted: 4/29/08 at 9:14pm

Yes, she did as Frannie and Sabrina Hughes. It was also Meg Ryan's first gig.

This is all over the gay-friendly spots on the internet, so I've seen all the Livejournal slash writers pimping it. Glad to see it made its way over here. I don't watch the show, but I called in.
