Oakdale's Gay Pride Event? Are they going to have twinks with neon pink feather boas and skimpy shorts? Is RuPaul doing a special guest appearance as well? :lol:

Why in hell do all the soaps have big-name singers appear in tiny little dives? I remember a few years ago when they actually had characters sitting in seats at a theatre watching a band, which is a lot more realistic at least.

Really? That's awesome if true.
Definitely true. ET had Cyndi on and there have been pictures and a TouTube video.

I have always loved Cyndi Lauper so I'm glad that she is getting a chance to pimp her new album for any reason.

ATWT would be better served by telling a good soap story with Luke than anything else including a faux gay pride celebration.

I agree and we have yet to see that good story with Luke.

ATWT is unrecognizable shiznat lately...

Carden and Lilack

Um I rest my case...

you know somewhere Passanante got up at like 3AM with a brainwave and called goutman's ass up and said "CHRIS I have the best idea ever... Let's put Lily with Jack and Carly with Holden and Goutman smiled and said "People will love that." *sigh* they're so out of touch with the fans and if they actually paid attention to that, they'd KNOW.

But you see Goutman doesnt listen to fans. He goes with his gut instinct. :rolleyes: Which is always right. :rolleyes:

Pointless, stupid, dumb. I'm sure TPTB or whoever's responsible is probably thinking "Well, that'll shut those gay people up for a while."

It's ridiculous. Can SOMEBODY in the TV industry write a storyline about a gay couple without it being so damn cliche?! I would take a well-written, understandable, traditional soap romance about a couple that happens to be two young men over an overblown Gay Pride event/concert anyday.

Sometimes I wish GLAAD would mind their own damn business.

But gay pride events usually ARE stereotypical and cliché. As a gay man I tend to avoid them because most of them reinforce negative images. This is actually realistic IMO.

I complain about it because once again, they're doing everything except write an interesting story for this couple. They had the big kiss, then a dumb storyline, then they became a couple, then a dumb storyline, and now they're going to have this big event, but when all the smoke clears, there's going to be another dumb storyline. Truth be told, it's all subjective and it's just my opinion, but I just don't see the fun/hope in any of it anymore. This thing will make people happy for a while, but in the end, there's really no long-term plans for this couple. There can't be. It doesn't feel like it.

And besides, Oakdale is the host of a gay pride event? That's so...unOakdale.

Depends on which Oakdale you are talking about; small town Oakdale, yep, but it is possible in the big city Oakdale with skyscrapers, a major airport, on the ocean, maybe. LOL!

Ultimately, ATWT would not have a need for gay pride stunts if they had given Luke a good storyline and a romance with an interesting character played by an actor with some skill and talent because good storytelling would have melted some intolerant people's hearts.
