Best Daytime Drama: GLAAD awards

[alwaysAMC]

I was reading an article about this Grey's Anatomy drama and in the article it mentioned that GLAAD nominated them for one of their awards and so I clicked on the link: http://www.glaad.org/publications/resource...ail.php?id=3953 to read all the nominees and noticed the soap award.

AMC, ATWT, GH, and PSNS are nominated.

I'm going to say ATWT should win, even though they completely dropped the "Luke is gay" storyline. But whatever.

Go BROTHERS & SISTERS. That's all I really care about anyway...haha.

[KLN]

ATWT better win.

If PSNS wins for the angry dyke mob, I'll spit. Same for Sillimone.

GH... no. Yuck. That sucked.

And a big fat no to Zarf on AMC. I post on several "homosexual" message boards and you wouldn't believe the incredibly NEGATIVE response this storyline got. It's so convoluted. A very effeminate man believes himself to be a woman who just so happens to also be a lesbian? C'mon now. idiotic.

[DruRocks]

GO B&S and ATWT!

[PhoenixRising05]

ATWT for the win.

They should win at least. AMC would be my second choice.

GH dropped the story and didn't handle it very well. Passions did ok with Simone but the Lesbien revolt thing kind of takes them out of the equation.

[R!ck]

I look for PSNS to score a repeat win.

There has been a lot of great scenes with Rae and Simone questioning theirselves about kids, marraige, homosexuality in the church etc. I can honestly say that JER has written their story true to real life.

Sure there was a lesbian revolt, but I think that will actually go over well with the voters. Who says that homosexual stories always have to be serious? Gays can do comedy too

[PhoenixRising05]

Oh yeah, Rick, there has been some nice scenes.

I wasn't bothered by the revolt but some may have been and may have saw it in a bad light. That is why I don't think they will win but we'll see.

From everything I have read and researched AMC's story is straight from real life. There is even a transsexual poster on another board I frequent who says those type of transsexuals actually exist. She says they are in the minority but they do exist. She says other than Zarf acting over the top on some occasions and a few minor problems that AMC has handled the story pretty well.

I was watching a show on Here Saturday night and on their show Sexplorations they did a story on a transexual porn star who was a woman. She always felt that she was a man. As a woman she was attracted to both men and women and had sex with both. Now as a transsexual man she married a woman but still has sex with men. She is bisexual. BTW the woman that he married is a very masculine-looking woman who looks more like a man than some men I know. So they look almost like a male/male couple to me.

I know at first when I heard that Zarf wanted to be a woman and was going to be a lesbian I couldn't figure it out. I just assumed that anyone who wanted to change genders was automatically be in love with the opposite sex and would want to do it so they could have sex with the opposite sex and maybe not face a public stigma for it. But from what I understand that is not always the case.

[alwaysAMC]

I think the Zarf/Zoe storyline on AMC has been done really well so far...the coming out process anyway. I just didn't consider that 2006 for AMC, as most of the coming out scenes were the first week of 2007.

But if they are considering that stuff as their nomination scenes - then AMC or ATWT should win. I can't comment on PSNS, but I know for a fact that GH should NOT win for the way they treated their gay storyline.

[crc]

WHAT? Was this actually a story?

Go ATWT!!!

[Mason]

ATWT should win, no question.

It's absurd that PASSIONS is even nominated, considering JERk's blatant disrespect for gays and lesbians.

[WTGH]

It'll be AMC. Putting out a transgender story takes bigger balls.

[RionPassions]

Passions has shown nothing but the utmost respect for the gay community. As a gay man, I found the lesbian revolt hilarious and empowering. The Edna/Norma scenes at the lesbian bar were to die for...loved them!!

And the Simone/Rae relationship has been very realistic and honest. I love it.

[dragonflies]

You do know there are people out there like that in real life?

[SteveFrame]

I'm sorry I agree with Rick and others. I feel JER handled the gay stories very well on Passions. I don't see the disrespect that some are seeing. I think so many people are mad at JER about his last tenure on Days that they automatically see everything he does as bad. This is one time that everything he did was not bad.

As much as I love AMC's story I feel next year is their year.

I think ATWT will win this year for the Luke story.

[Mason]

OK, the Simone/Rae relationship, I'll give you. That hasn't been handled badly. I'm mainly referring to Charlie and the lesbian army in Rome.

With that said, I'm not clouded by my hatred of JER's second time on DAYS. I know when what I'm seeing is bad, and 97.5% of what I've seen from JER in just the last year alone has been bad. I give him credit where credit is due, though. Zack's death on DAYS was very good until Morgan Island, and I love Luis & Fancy on PASSIONS. But I am being objective where JER is concerned.
