With Meghan, I feel her party over country, conservative stereotype attitude isn't an act. Her temper and overall personality just sucked all the oxygen out of the room. I'm sure no one on the panel or on the crew wanted to deal with her again, especially in studio. She got herself kicked off the show and I don't care what she says to the contrary.

I just read a post on Queerty, of all places, that Joy was getting backlash for telling people to come out at Thanksgiving and "be yourself". 

While I am well aware of the click-bate nature of both Joy's remark and Queerty's article, I take exception when people are critical because an off hand comment broadcast to millions does not reflect their individual experience.  Most of the comments were about how Joy didn't anticipate the negative responses that some people have when they come out.  But, that is not a valid argument against the need to be true to yourself, no matter what. I think this is such an irresponsible post to be made on a gay website, which should promote coming out and being authentic. 

The NY Times had an article on the importance of "Friendsgiving" for members of the LGBTQ community who feel alienated from their family of origin and we should celebrate that type of promotion of the need to live authentically, rather than highlight those who choose to maintain relations with people who do not support the community.

Coming out is a very individualized experience. I first did it 8 years ago when I told my mother and it was quite a relief that get that out. Last week I told several family members and announced it on social media which was something that I thought I would never do, but it worked out well because everyone was accepting. How I see it is if people don't accept your coming out and cut you off then that is a way of seeing the truth about them. If you really love and care about somebody you don't cut them off for being gay. Knowing who is truly in your corner in important and even hearing bad reactions is conducive to growth.

    • lol.   Yeah after last week, I will be surprised if it is otherwise. The biggest story should not be Diane's remodeling of the Abbott estate...though I did like she HAD a story. 
    • Sure, a lot of the storylines of that era are felt on the show today, but the movie was almost entirely about Roman/Marlena/John plus Sami/Carrie/Austin and a side plot of Carly/Bo/Billie/Lawrence with the background of Titan's opening.   It's...not about Jack and the memoir. So, yes, you could go back and use some of the small parts of the movie, but you couldn't or shouldn't do a direct homage of it like you could with One Stormy Night.  It's two different things IMO. 
    • I'd be shocked if it's not just more of his alts lol. He has three active accounts here with variations on the same name. He abandoned the last one presumably hoping less people would block him a couple months ago. Again, probably all him.
    • Sleeps. Because April was such an exciting non-stop action packed must see TV let us take time to breathe….
    • I remember when Scott Clifton was a good actor. I guess those days are gone, because he's been really bad lately. Everything is so affected and intentional, and it screams ACTING. None of it seems genuine.
    • Because that particular primetime episode kick started stories where the effects are still felt on the show to this day.  
    • One of the finer details of the episode I noticed is Leslie and Eva's dresses are representative of what a lower income person who had a windfall would buy for an event and consider to be glamorous. I worked in Nordstrom and there was a lot of this sort of aesthetic on the racks in the evening wear section. Definitely not cheap, but not couture either.
    • Drew and Willow being married and happy with Nina just dropping that bomb on the way out the door could be fun though lol.
    • Why would you even tie into Night Sins if you are just re-hashing B stories?  John/Marlena on the conference table with Sami seeing it and Carrie getting acid thrown in her face are the two main plots. You would be better off just throwing a Titan Anniversary party instead.  I am skeptical they are even tying One Stormy Night from 1992 into this plot at all, but it's a much easier plotline to rehash and you could use several couples to make it work. Now that you mention the Jack/Kate/Bill story that might be one of the few "book" stories that worked though.
