When Adam first came to Genoa City, I was hoping that those phone calls were to a boyfriend, no matter what they were showing us onscreen. It seemed so perfect, so natural. Of course, Adam turned out straight, but it made me wonder what the reaction would be if he was gay, or if original Victoria or Nick were. Then, the subject was touched on the weekly thread and it got me thinking: How would The Great Victor Newman react to this?

There are times when I think Victor would not have accepted it, times when I think he would but, ultimately, I think Victor would be one of those "I don't mind it, but I don't want it for my kids" kind of guys. That doesn't stop him from accepting it down the line, but I think that's how he would react initially.

Of course, this touches on a much broader subject, the one about gay life in GC in general, and who cares what VN's reaction would be, but still I just wanted to see what people thought about this?

Victor strikes me as a libertarian in all senses of the word. In other words, "Now. Idon'tcare who you are shleeping with, son. Yougotdat? Aslongas I don'thavetopayanytaxes."

Gloria would probably try and recruit Adam as her Gay Best Friend. "Like on Sex and the City! We can go shopping!" Cue witch's cackle.

But, of course, Kay would end up being his confidante.

Phyllis would try to be edgy and sh!t and talk about New York's SoHo scene. "Ya. Like, it was so avant-garde."

Nick and JT would go all frat boy and jump a mile every time Adam approached them from behind.

Victoria would

Heather would pout.

Michael would do his angry glower thing. You know, I don't trust you but I want to jump your bones ?

Kevin would probably become his first boyfriend in GC. Jana would be disappointed. But understanding.

So true, LOL! In lieu of a Kevin/Daniel relationship, I'd take Kevin and Adam. Kevin, David Vickers and Rex (OLTL), Henry (ATWT) are the most obviously gay straight characters on the soaps.

Don't know about his actual reaction but I *Know* what he would have said.

"Well, I'll be damned!"

PS: I think Victor would not mind a gay child. He wants them to be happy, that's it.

It may have been like Blake & Steven's relationship on Dynasty.

At first, Blake hated the fact that he had a gay son. It wasn't until right before Steven left that he started to accept his lifestyle.......and I think he would have accepted anything about Steven after he came back from the dead.

Victor would be pissed because he's old-fashion and wants things to fit his order......but when it got to the pint that he would lose his son by his ignorance, he would come around.

I dont think he would care.

He would still own them, command respect, tell them what to do, and talk down to them as well as tell them who they can and can not date. lol. thats victor.

and yes Laurnes son Scotty needs to be gay and hookup with Kevin. or Adam. or JT. or Billy. or Brad...

I'm not sure whether or not Victor would be accepting of Adam being gay, but....I would enjoy a story where Victor did accept Adam being gay, but didn't accept or trust the guy he was with (in the end the guy gaining both Adam and Victor's trust). Even better I would like to see Jack learning that Adam was gay, Jack being conflicted about whether or not to leak the info to the tabloids.

Cat your characterizations are dead on. I can totally see each and one of those characters reacting the way you stated to Adam's sexuality.
