Bad News Soap Fans: Spoilers Indicate Next Week On Days Of Our Lives Gay Character Will Horton Has Sex With A Woman & Sonny Gets Gay Bashed!!!
According to the spoilers next week, for the NBC soap Days of Our Lives the gay character Will Horton played by Chandler Massey is going to have grief sex with his ex girlfriend Gabi Hernandez! Gabi and Will broke up last year because she suspected he is gay. So now Gabi and Will are going to have sex? It doesn’t make any sense! The logical conclusion is, Days of Our Lives is trying to appease multiple audiences and NBC is afraid of upsetting their sponsors.
It is strange to see this kind of homophobia by NBC because I am a Canadian. On Canadian television gay and lesbian characters have thrived since the 1980s.
Canadian television is a million miles ahead of American television in relation to the topic of homosexuality.
I remember watching Degrassi Junior High in the 1980s and Caitlin thought she was a lesbian and had a crush on her teacher Miss Avery.
One of Caitlin’s friends, Kathleen accuses Caitlin of being a lesbian because she was jealous of her.
Even Suzy, Caitlin’s best friend asked her if she was a lesbian.
At the end of the episode, Caitlin realized she isn’t lesbian and Miss Avery is not gay.
In the mid 1980s, lesbianism discussed in an honest and truthful manner on mainstream Canadian television!
Degrassi Junior High dealt with a serious topic of a young girl questioning her sexuality in a mature and honest manner.
Sometimes, I forget that America is not as progressive as Canada in relation to LGBT issues.
Another point to consider is, on Days of Our Lives, Freddie Smith his character Sonny who is Will`s love interest gets gay bashed by this homophobic jerk Tad.
So why couldn’t Days of Our Lives allow Sonny and Brian to have killer hot sex? Wouldn’t it be amazing if Sonny and Brian got to roll around in a bed naked all sweaty, panting, and making out? Well, since Days of Our Lives is an American soap it will be a cold day in hell before the audience gets to see an authentic gay male sex scene!
A lot of people online are very upset because for the past year Days of Our Lives promised the soap fans that Will and Sonny will have a gay romance.
Since Will just came out this year, his character has grown more confident in accepting his homosexuality. So why would Days make Will have sex with a woman?
Days of Our Lives is destroying Will and making him bisexual instead of gay.
Meanwhile, Will`s love interest Sonny is basically asexual. Sonny is supposed to be gay yet he has never kissed another guy until next week or had sex.
The hypocrisy of daytime television in America is abhorrent. The heterosexual characters can have sex scenes rolling around in bed together but Sonny, Will, and Brian can’t have a love scene in a bed!
The spoilers indicate next week Monday, Sonny kisses Will but he is rejected. Will tells Sonny he only sees him as a friend and not as a potential boyfriend. Of course, Sonny is hurt and he accuses Will of being a closet case and not proud to be gay. Will runs off to his grandmother Marlena the town shrink to figure out his feelings. Marlena tries to get Will to see he is sexually attracted to Sonny and give love a chance.
Meanwhile, on the next episode next week Tuesday, Sonny runs into Brian an attractive openly gay man played by Brant Daugherty. Brian warned Sonny in July that Will Horton has a lot of baggage and he is wasting his time with him. Will sees Brian and Sonny and he freaks out and runs away.
Will runs off and he somehow ends up in Gabi`s bed and they have sex. The only reason I can think of Will and Gabi having sex is she is going to get pregnant. The beautiful Camila Banus is the scheming Gabi Hernandez. Gabi`s last storyline she attempted to smash Chad and Melanie`s relationship by hiring a stalker to chase her around Salem. However, the stalker Andrew turned out to be psycho and he kidnapped Melanie. Chad finds out next week that Andrew and Gabi worked together and he kicks her out of his apartment.
The anger many soap fans have is, Days of Our Lives is promoting homophobia. Gay men we are sexually attracted to other men not women! Will having sex with Gabi promotes a homophobic message that all a gay man needs is a hot woman to turn him straight.
Also, Sonny getting gay bashed is a recycled storyline from One Life To Live two years ago! In the year 2009, the character Nick got gay bashed and he used the bashing incident to come between the gay couple Kyle and Oliver. Kyle and Oliver are the only gay male couple on American daytime television to have a gay sex scene! In fact, on One Life To Live Kyle and Oliver had multiple kissing scenes and they even talked about safer sex and using condoms.
Days of Our Lives is upsetting a lot of soap fans it is the year 2012 it is time for NBC to treat gay men with dignity and respect. I am cognizant that Days of Our Lives core audience is heterosexual women. However, since Days decided to have a couple gay men on the show of course the audience demands the gay male characters be treated just like the straight characters. If Melanie and Chad can have sex then so can Will, Sonny, and Brian!
