Supporting queer rights one soap opera storyline at a time.
As seen all over my flist:
In response to heat they're getting from the American Family Association, P&G is conducting a phone poll to see if people are for or against the Luke/Noah storyline on As The World Turns. Even if you don't watch the show, please consider taking a quick moment to support boy kissing and thwart homophobic bigotry. The poll is completely automated. You don't have to talk to anyone. And it really does take all of a second to register your opinion.
Just call 1-800-331-3774 and press #1 to continue in English (or #2 for Spanish), then 2 to get to the ATWT poll [Note: The first question I got wasn't the English/Spanish one but whether I was calling about some other program or about the AtWT storyline, so just be sure to listen to the menu options.], then press 1 to continue the storyline.
Please spread the word if you're so inclined.
I've never seen an episode of the show myself, but 1) I really hate the AFA and 2) I think that soap operas are yet another example of popular culture that gets mocked primarily because it's targeted towards women, and I think they're a lot more significant in the reflection/creation of American social perspectives than they're generally given credit for. The fact that there are queer protagonists in a romantic relationship on a popular soap opera is important, and I'm hugely in support of it.
