If you can’t read it, it indicates that the Will being gay story may not happen! Wonder if they realized a lot of people weren’t in favor of it? I like him standing up for Sonny but I don’t see him as being his gay lover! Any thoughts?
if the nixed that storyline. It just didn’t make any sense to me that all of a sudden Will would realize he was gay. I’d much rather they bring in someone new for Sonny. Or, does he really even need a "lover"?
I read the cable lists synopis of the show…it’ said that Will and Gabby make love…was going to ask about that this morning to you guysies to see what’s up with that, but you know if they did/do nix the story…I will watch 100% of the time again.
don’t you have to take the good with the bad on a soap? You may feel that homosexuality is wrong and bad but there are lots of things they show that are also…like MURDER? Lying, cheating, stealing, prostitution, drug addiction? But it’s all part of real life and it is, after all, only fiction.
I think by boycotting, you would deprive yourself of the enjoyment of the rest of the show just because a small part will portray something you don’t approve of. Not trying to change your mind, just pointing out some facts.
just showing how various people react to Sonny and showing Sonny as just a human being. Sonny is being shown as more like the gay people I have encountered. He’s who he is, not trying to push his agenda/lifestyle on anyone else. I know I am from a more "liberal" state but I can say with all honesty that because my state has ‘gay marriage’ (has for a long time), it really hasn’t changed a single thing in my life. What people do in their life is their business. I did not really want to see Will as ‘gay’ but I do think he should be respectful of all people.
I guess that’s one of my points, though….I already see so much ‘stuff’, I just don’t feel up to watching this unfold. I haven’t watched since John and Marlena left, and hopefully I can start watching again when they come back. And I don’t ‘agree’ with homosexuality, though I still love the person…regardless. It’s just not my cup of tea.
I would much rather see Gabi as Will’s partner. They have been building a relationship for some time and it just makes sense. My concern always was that if they wrote the gay SL for Will, they could never take it back and that might ruin will forever. Maybe they will make T the gay one–being homophobic is sometimes a cover up for conflickted feelings. Or even better, have Sonny become friends with all the teens who accept him as he is.
I like the way things are now…I really don’t want Will to be gay, but I dont have a problem with him maybe having some conflicks within himself and questioning his feelings….I like him with Gabby and I like the way he has been taking up for Sonny…so far so good….with me..
You love John and Marlena, don’t deprive yourself of that enjoyment because you don’t "agree" with homosexuality. I’m one of the viewers who doesn’t have a problem with the storyline. I like Will, and I don’t really care who they pair him with, although I think he and Gabi have a good relationship. I like his chemistry with Sonny and if it is just a friendship, that’s fine with me. I love that he will stand up for Sonny. I like that he gets in T’s face about the way he speaks to Sonny. I think if you record the show, you can watch what you like, and ff through the stuff you don’t. I’ve been doing that for years.
I tend to be more conservative, but on social issues, I think we should leave that out of the political realm. I believe you are who you are. You don’t turn gay and you can’t be turned gay. IMHO, this is not a moral issue, sexuality is not a choice. I guess this is why I wouldn’t have a problem with the storyline going either way. Also, I find that I like Sonny, so I hope they keep him. He gives Adrienne and Justin validity as parents.
but I would prefer they keep Will with Gabbi and bring in a new character for Sonny. I really like Gabbi and Will as a couple, and don’t care one way or the other if they do a gay storyline with Sonny. I simply do not want it to be Will. I love the way Will comes to Sonny’s defense with "T". I think it would be very interesting, as someone posted earlier, if "T" was actually gay and jealous of Will’s platonic relationship with Sonny, and that’s what’s causing "T" to attack Sonny. He may have hidden feelings for Will in his own way, and Will being so responsive to Sonny makes "T" feel betrayed by Will. I would rather see the story go on along those lines.
but I think there’s a difference between how murder, lying, cheating, etc. is portrayed on the show versus homosexuality, and I think that’s what bothers a lot of people. I feel like the show is saying, just like our society does, that if a person disagrees with homosexuality than they are homophobic and hateful. Granted, T’s actions are not what I consider just "disagreeing" with, but they were saying that with all the scripts I’ve heard. I am not excited about Days promoting homosexuality but I don’t plan on boycotting the show by any means; I just don’t like being told that I should just accept it as an alternative lifestyle. It will never be okay, as God’s Word never changes; just like it’s never ok for me to be prideful, selfish, hateful, lustful, etc. Just pick your sin, we all struggle with something.
How eloquently put, and pretty much EXACTLY what I was trying to say!!! I am in NO way a homophobic, I just won’t support it. The same way you won’t catch me at any rally supprting whatever. If I don’t agree and think it’s sinful, I will not support it at all. That is the reason I said I would boycott the show. And I know it is the world we live in, but I can weed my garden or find something else to do for that hour!
storyline and leave Will and Gabby as they are. I am really liking them more and more as a couple and found that I enjoy their screen time a lot. They have both been through tough times and yet remain great young people who seem to make good decisions. I like their conversations with each other–very mature.
