1
00:00:04.440 --> 00:00:11.800
WHI chased my tea before I begin. This show is
2
00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:15.400
called Daytime Today, and we talk about what's going on
3
00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:19.519
in Daytime Today. And I just had a discussion with
4
00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:26.280
the VP of Branding Communications for a LGBT QUI a
5
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:30.800
plus streaming service called Reverie and of you'll be on
6
00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:34.560
my extra Connection show. You can watch that and it's
7
00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:38.759
it's really good. And it got me thinking because I
8
00:00:38.799 --> 00:00:41.439
was going to do my annual kind of pride episode
9
00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:47.880
during Pride Month. The soaps and Pride. Some years we
10
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:50.119
have lots of thing be thankful for in terms of
11
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:57.079
representation on soaps, and this year we're not. I want
12
00:00:57.119 --> 00:00:59.200
to preface this by saying that I know i've in
13
00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:02.679
the past happy tell me this is gay. People tell
14
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:07.959
me I don't watch the soaps for representation, so if
15
00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:11.719
there's anybody gay on there, they don't care. Same with
16
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:13.519
black people. I've had somebody who talking about I don't
17
00:01:13.519 --> 00:01:15.920
watch soaps just for black folks. I watch someps. I
18
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:18.920
like the soaps. Now, I don't know if people are
19
00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:21.519
these people are trolling me just because and someone will
20
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:24.519
do that just because they can. But let's just say
21
00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:32.319
these folks really mean it. And I guess my thought is, well,
22
00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:34.879
you're conditioned to think that way. If you really do
23
00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:38.000
feel that way, then you're conditioned to think that way
24
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:43.599
because this whole time, how little representation you've had of
25
00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:47.799
any queer people or black blen soaps. It's just we
26
00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:54.280
have learned if you are of a less represented group,
27
00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:58.000
we have learned to watch these shows and enjoy them.
28
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:02.719
It's so many characters that are gay on these shows,
29
00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:07.000
are black on these shows that are great characters. There's
30
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:11.199
certain characters black folks lean towards, like a Victor Newman
31
00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:17.759
on Wine are very beloved, or a more Or West
32
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:24.080
who plays a Morris period no one. I always feel
33
00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:42.560
I always feel that it is still important to have
34
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:47.759
all people representative of the audience who's watching how I am,
35
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:56.599
especially if a show is about a town and the
36
00:02:56.759 --> 00:03:03.919
town is specifically engineered as homogenized town by seven thing.
37
00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:10.159
I can say this if you are in Los Angeles,
38
00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:13.840
for say, well in the uniform, it's one of the
39
00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:17.599
most diverse cities in the country for million of us
40
00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:19.280
sitting here. I live here. I see it every day.
41
00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:27.919
My block, my buses, trains, restaurants, very diverse. You would
42
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:35.680
think the show would show some diversity just naturally. Is
43
00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:38.719
Los Angeles like shows in New York. I know, friends
44
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:40.599
got made fun of for years, and they like, just
45
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:44.039
like you were in New York. Sex and See did
46
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:46.919
a good job with all the guest stars, co stars,
47
00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:49.840
side characters. To me, they represented New York really well.
48
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:56.400
It was just a matter of fact the first go
49
00:03:56.599 --> 00:03:59.080
round and not and just like that. But the first
50
00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:03.800
go round was very much like you know here it
51
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:10.560
is Wisconsin is a Midwest, but there are black folks Wisconsin.
52
00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:15.960
I this black folks Wisconsin the d m V. But
53
00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:25.639
Maryland obviously like Salem to fictional tales, I don't. They're
54
00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:29.279
pretty mixed poison there when it comes to the gay world,
55
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:35.879
because gays are everywhere everywhere, and each show is touched
56
00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:41.439
upon having gay characters. When I say gaying, gay, lesbian,
57
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:45.800
by tribe, they they've each each of the five substance
58
00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:49.199
touched on it. And there were a couple of years
59
00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:54.680
here where we were just like beaming with pride over
60
00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:57.240
their repsentation that was happening and righting from our screens.
61
00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:05.279
My always feeling is why not it's a large queer
62
00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:11.639
population to watch the soaps also the stories. Can we
63
00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:14.480
still talk at places like Grades an Abbyli and Pridutime.
64
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:19.079
Soaps have stories that aren't someself specifically, you know, gay
65
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:25.680
trope stories. You can write Gabriele like everybody else and
66
00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:28.000
put their situations, and they've done that on some of
67
00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:34.759
the SOPs they have. They've done that, and I just don't.
68
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:37.639
I don't. I just for me, I will never fully
69
00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:45.560
accept that we can't have bright, vibrant gay characters on SOAPA,
70
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:49.879
whether they're reoccurring leading what I used to, I will
71
00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:53.439
never I will never accept that they can't. We just
72
00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:58.199
can't have that. Look at Beyond the Gates now, that
73
00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:01.399
one with a couple of quick apples on there and
74
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:04.800
inter racial and lacking all that in there. So they
75
00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:08.040
do have that. Now Do I like the couple of
76
00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:10.439
Smitia or whatever. I really don't. They do nothing for me.
77
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:12.199
I don't know. They don't fink they like each other,
78
00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:15.680
but that's not the story. But at least they are represented,
79
00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:20.399
they have a family, they have story separated apart. That's
80
00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:22.759
probably the only one right now that I know that
81
00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:27.920
really is going full force with them as citizens of
82
00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:37.480
Fremont Crest, young and restless, that's ry fans. I know,
83
00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:42.160
I don't even I just don't even what to tell you.
84
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:52.120
There's nothing on there going on, So there's nothing general hospital,
85
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:58.959
nothing but Christina leaving and I don't think I'll be
86
00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:02.720
cast or not. And Lucas right now lost his man.
87
00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:05.720
I don't know if this other new character that came
88
00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:09.560
off he's of the community or not, but as of
89
00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:14.279
this month. But you know, but I will give points.
90
00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:22.279
They are giving Lucas some major story and the kind
91
00:07:22.279 --> 00:07:27.480
of driven outvisation from Marco. But it's not necessarily gay, thieve,
92
00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:29.600
It's just that he's fighting back and he's part of
93
00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:31.680
a story, and so I'll give him. I'll give him
94
00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:41.040
half points for that. Yeah. Well, in a beautiful are
95
00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:44.199
you got a pair Deacon Remy together and then just quickly,
96
00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:53.079
you know, exposed that he was this creep and it
97
00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:54.879
makes this a big deal. I mean, the first male
98
00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:57.680
second same sex couple and all this stuff and just
99
00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:02.759
it just that's it. And we had nothing since Deacon's designer,
100
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:07.639
he's Hope's brother. Yes, he's getting story, Deacon's son, okay,
101
00:08:08.759 --> 00:08:14.720
but really no relationship. Now. Days of Our Lives has
102
00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:17.240
always had gay characters on off on there. I don't
103
00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:19.480
watch Days that heavily, so I can't relate comment heavily
104
00:08:19.560 --> 00:08:21.920
on Days. If you're a Days fan, you tell me
105
00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:25.680
how they're doing. They've now kind of gay people on
106
00:08:25.759 --> 00:08:29.399
that show off and on from Andrew to Leo's. Yeah.
107
00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:35.240
But for the fourth stops I do watch. It's a
108
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:38.879
it's an f it's just it's not there's not I mean,
109
00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:42.080
it's just for this month. There's nothing he has to
110
00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:43.879
do that used to do this kind of young CBS
111
00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:48.960
cares for pride. Clearly that's not happening anymore. I don't.
112
00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:52.159
For me, it's just a shame. I see other countries
113
00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:58.480
another and primetime and streaming where gay characters are just
114
00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:02.720
part of the canvas, They're just part of their just
115
00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:07.720
they're mixed in with everybody else. And it's a shame.
116
00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:09.919
We just can't have that on daytime for whatever reason.
117
00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:13.000
And I know there are lot of people out there
118
00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:17.639
who agree with me, and it's just nice to see
119
00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:23.759
something that is reflective of you. Again, not saying we
120
00:09:23.879 --> 00:09:27.480
can't understand a love stories from a straight couple. We
121
00:09:27.559 --> 00:09:30.120
can all of a sudden, we can't we that's yes,
122
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:34.480
and again we have had to figure this out for decades,
123
00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:38.519
but just when they started to like start to turn
124
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:42.519
and give us a little something, they've taken it away.
125
00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:44.720
It's almost like they should have never had gay people
126
00:09:44.759 --> 00:09:47.279
on soaps, so then we can just complain about that
127
00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:48.960
and then the new and gave you all on soaps.
128
00:09:49.320 --> 00:09:52.120
But it's like it's worse. They gave us glimpses, they
129
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:54.759
gave us some good writing on some of them, and
130
00:09:54.840 --> 00:09:59.639
then snatched it out. That's worse because now we know
131
00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:02.919
we're missing a lot of times, it's better to not
132
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:05.360
know what you're missing, but now we know we're missing.
133
00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:12.639
But I'm so glad they're not just trotting out gay
134
00:10:12.679 --> 00:10:14.960
people during Pride. Also, it's another thing I had kind
135
00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:16.559
of bugs where it's just like for the month, here
136
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:20.440
you go. I'm glad they're not doing that. Also, this
137
00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:26.759
is a year round, just everything thing. So momus is
138
00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:29.759
just soap. So is just like, well, let's let's get
139
00:10:29.799 --> 00:10:33.840
with it. Gay people are like percent of the population.
140
00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:36.399
We're out there, we're doing things, we watch soap operas.
141
00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:39.159
We were very supportive and just for me, I would
142
00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:40.799
like to see it. Maybe you don't, and I know
143
00:10:40.879 --> 00:10:42.559
you guys will in the comments to me how you feel,
144
00:10:42.559 --> 00:10:44.440
which I totally want to read. Please tell me how
145
00:10:44.440 --> 00:10:46.879
you feel either way. I mean, all comments are welcome,
146
00:10:47.679 --> 00:10:52.679
except hateful like slurs and things. But you guys are
147
00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:59.679
really good about leaving comments about stuff, so yeah, let
148
00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:02.559
me know. Going on what you guys think, I'm gonna
149
00:11:02.559 --> 00:11:05.600
still say it, Happy pride to those who celebrates whatever
150
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:08.759
that means for you. I'm James DoD Junior. Touching next time.
1
00:00:04.440 --> 00:00:11.800
WHI chased my tea before I begin. This show is
2
00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:15.400
called Daytime Today, and we talk about what's going on
3
00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:19.519
in Daytime Today. And I just had a discussion with
4
00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:26.280
the VP of Branding Communications for a LGBT QUI a
5
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:30.800
plus streaming service called Reverie and of you'll be on
6
00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:34.560
my extra Connection show. You can watch that and it's
7
00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:38.759
it's really good. And it got me thinking because I
8
00:00:38.799 --> 00:00:41.439
was going to do my annual kind of pride episode
9
00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:47.880
during Pride Month. The soaps and Pride. Some years we
10
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:50.119
have lots of thing be thankful for in terms of
11
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:57.079
representation on soaps, and this year we're not. I want
12
00:00:57.119 --> 00:00:59.200
to preface this by saying that I know i've in
13
00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:02.679
the past happy tell me this is gay. People tell
14
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:07.959
me I don't watch the soaps for representation, so if
15
00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:11.719
there's anybody gay on there, they don't care. Same with
16
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:13.519
black people. I've had somebody who talking about I don't
17
00:01:13.519 --> 00:01:15.920
watch soaps just for black folks. I watch someps. I
18
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:18.920
like the soaps. Now, I don't know if people are
19
00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:21.519
these people are trolling me just because and someone will
20
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:24.519
do that just because they can. But let's just say
21
00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:32.319
these folks really mean it. And I guess my thought is, well,
22
00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:34.879
you're conditioned to think that way. If you really do
23
00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:38.000
feel that way, then you're conditioned to think that way
24
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:43.599
because this whole time, how little representation you've had of
25
00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:47.799
any queer people or black blen soaps. It's just we
26
00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:54.280
have learned if you are of a less represented group,
27
00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:58.000
we have learned to watch these shows and enjoy them.
28
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:02.719
It's so many characters that are gay on these shows,
29
00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:07.000
are black on these shows that are great characters. There's
30
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:11.199
certain characters black folks lean towards, like a Victor Newman
31
00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:17.759
on Wine are very beloved, or a more Or West
32
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:24.080
who plays a Morris period no one. I always feel
33
00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:42.560
I always feel that it is still important to have
34
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:47.759
all people representative of the audience who's watching how I am,
35
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:56.599
especially if a show is about a town and the
36
00:02:56.759 --> 00:03:03.919
town is specifically engineered as homogenized town by seven thing.
37
00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:10.159
I can say this if you are in Los Angeles,
38
00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:13.840
for say, well in the uniform, it's one of the
39
00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:17.599
most diverse cities in the country for million of us
40
00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:19.280
sitting here. I live here. I see it every day.
41
00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:27.919
My block, my buses, trains, restaurants, very diverse. You would
42
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:35.680
think the show would show some diversity just naturally. Is
43
00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:38.719
Los Angeles like shows in New York. I know, friends
44
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:40.599
got made fun of for years, and they like, just
45
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:44.039
like you were in New York. Sex and See did
46
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:46.919
a good job with all the guest stars, co stars,
47
00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:49.840
side characters. To me, they represented New York really well.
48
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:56.400
It was just a matter of fact the first go
49
00:03:56.599 --> 00:03:59.080
round and not and just like that. But the first
50
00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:03.800
go round was very much like you know here it
51
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:10.560
is Wisconsin is a Midwest, but there are black folks Wisconsin.
52
00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:15.960
I this black folks Wisconsin the d m V. But
53
00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:25.639
Maryland obviously like Salem to fictional tales, I don't. They're
54
00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:29.279
pretty mixed poison there when it comes to the gay world,
55
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:35.879
because gays are everywhere everywhere, and each show is touched
56
00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:41.439
upon having gay characters. When I say gaying, gay, lesbian,
57
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:45.800
by tribe, they they've each each of the five substance
58
00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:49.199
touched on it. And there were a couple of years
59
00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:54.680
here where we were just like beaming with pride over
60
00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:57.240
their repsentation that was happening and righting from our screens.
61
00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:05.279
My always feeling is why not it's a large queer
62
00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:11.639
population to watch the soaps also the stories. Can we
63
00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:14.480
still talk at places like Grades an Abbyli and Pridutime.
64
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:19.079
Soaps have stories that aren't someself specifically, you know, gay
65
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:25.680
trope stories. You can write Gabriele like everybody else and
66
00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:28.000
put their situations, and they've done that on some of
67
00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:34.759
the SOPs they have. They've done that, and I just don't.
68
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:37.639
I don't. I just for me, I will never fully
69
00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:45.560
accept that we can't have bright, vibrant gay characters on SOAPA,
70
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:49.879
whether they're reoccurring leading what I used to, I will
71
00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:53.439
never I will never accept that they can't. We just
72
00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:58.199
can't have that. Look at Beyond the Gates now, that
73
00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:01.399
one with a couple of quick apples on there and
74
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:04.800
inter racial and lacking all that in there. So they
75
00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:08.040
do have that. Now Do I like the couple of
76
00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:10.439
Smitia or whatever. I really don't. They do nothing for me.
77
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:12.199
I don't know. They don't fink they like each other,
78
00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:15.680
but that's not the story. But at least they are represented,
79
00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:20.399
they have a family, they have story separated apart. That's
80
00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:22.759
probably the only one right now that I know that
81
00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:27.920
really is going full force with them as citizens of
82
00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:37.480
Fremont Crest, young and restless, that's ry fans. I know,
83
00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:42.160
I don't even I just don't even what to tell you.
84
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:52.120
There's nothing on there going on, So there's nothing general hospital,
85
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:58.959
nothing but Christina leaving and I don't think I'll be
86
00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:02.720
cast or not. And Lucas right now lost his man.
87
00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:05.720
I don't know if this other new character that came
88
00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:09.560
off he's of the community or not, but as of
89
00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:14.279
this month. But you know, but I will give points.
90
00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:22.279
They are giving Lucas some major story and the kind
91
00:07:22.279 --> 00:07:27.480
of driven outvisation from Marco. But it's not necessarily gay, thieve,
92
00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:29.600
It's just that he's fighting back and he's part of
93
00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:31.680
a story, and so I'll give him. I'll give him
94
00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:41.040
half points for that. Yeah. Well, in a beautiful are
95
00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:44.199
you got a pair Deacon Remy together and then just quickly,
96
00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:53.079
you know, exposed that he was this creep and it
97
00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:54.879
makes this a big deal. I mean, the first male
98
00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:57.680
second same sex couple and all this stuff and just
99
00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:02.759
it just that's it. And we had nothing since Deacon's designer,
100
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:07.639
he's Hope's brother. Yes, he's getting story, Deacon's son, okay,
101
00:08:08.759 --> 00:08:14.720
but really no relationship. Now. Days of Our Lives has
102
00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:17.240
always had gay characters on off on there. I don't
103
00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:19.480
watch Days that heavily, so I can't relate comment heavily
104
00:08:19.560 --> 00:08:21.920
on Days. If you're a Days fan, you tell me
105
00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:25.680
how they're doing. They've now kind of gay people on
106
00:08:25.759 --> 00:08:29.399
that show off and on from Andrew to Leo's. Yeah.
107
00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:35.240
But for the fourth stops I do watch. It's a
108
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:38.879
it's an f it's just it's not there's not I mean,
109
00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:42.080
it's just for this month. There's nothing he has to
110
00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:43.879
do that used to do this kind of young CBS
111
00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:48.960
cares for pride. Clearly that's not happening anymore. I don't.
112
00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:52.159
For me, it's just a shame. I see other countries
113
00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:58.480
another and primetime and streaming where gay characters are just
114
00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:02.720
part of the canvas, They're just part of their just
115
00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:07.720
they're mixed in with everybody else. And it's a shame.
116
00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:09.919
We just can't have that on daytime for whatever reason.
117
00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:13.000
And I know there are lot of people out there
118
00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:17.639
who agree with me, and it's just nice to see
119
00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:23.759
something that is reflective of you. Again, not saying we
120
00:09:23.879 --> 00:09:27.480
can't understand a love stories from a straight couple. We
121
00:09:27.559 --> 00:09:30.120
can all of a sudden, we can't we that's yes,
122
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:34.480
and again we have had to figure this out for decades,
123
00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:38.519
but just when they started to like start to turn
124
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:42.519
and give us a little something, they've taken it away.
125
00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:44.720
It's almost like they should have never had gay people
126
00:09:44.759 --> 00:09:47.279
on soaps, so then we can just complain about that
127
00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:48.960
and then the new and gave you all on soaps.
128
00:09:49.320 --> 00:09:52.120
But it's like it's worse. They gave us glimpses, they
129
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:54.759
gave us some good writing on some of them, and
130
00:09:54.840 --> 00:09:59.639
then snatched it out. That's worse because now we know
131
00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:02.919
we're missing a lot of times, it's better to not
132
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:05.360
know what you're missing, but now we know we're missing.
133
00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:12.639
But I'm so glad they're not just trotting out gay
134
00:10:12.679 --> 00:10:14.960
people during Pride. Also, it's another thing I had kind
135
00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:16.559
of bugs where it's just like for the month, here
136
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:20.440
you go. I'm glad they're not doing that. Also, this
137
00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:26.759
is a year round, just everything thing. So momus is
138
00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:29.759
just soap. So is just like, well, let's let's get
139
00:10:29.799 --> 00:10:33.840
with it. Gay people are like percent of the population.
140
00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:36.399
We're out there, we're doing things, we watch soap operas.
141
00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:39.159
We were very supportive and just for me, I would
142
00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:40.799
like to see it. Maybe you don't, and I know
143
00:10:40.879 --> 00:10:42.559
you guys will in the comments to me how you feel,
144
00:10:42.559 --> 00:10:44.440
which I totally want to read. Please tell me how
145
00:10:44.440 --> 00:10:46.879
you feel either way. I mean, all comments are welcome,
146
00:10:47.679 --> 00:10:52.679
except hateful like slurs and things. But you guys are
147
00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:59.679
really good about leaving comments about stuff, so yeah, let
148
00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:02.559
me know. Going on what you guys think, I'm gonna
149
00:11:02.559 --> 00:11:05.600
still say it, Happy pride to those who celebrates whatever
150
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:08.759
that means for you. I'm James DoD Junior. Touching next time.
