Days of Our Lives Gay Scenes: Lucas Struggles To Accept His Son Will’s Gay Relationship With Sonny.
On Days of Our Lives Facebook page, some fans of the American soap are furious about the gay storyline. One woman said she turns off the television set whenever Will and Sonny kiss. Another person said she doesn’t believe the gay storyline should be on television since Days of Our Lives is on during the afternoon. After I read the negative comments, I realize this gay storyline is important if one person can become more open minded about homosexuality after seeing Days of Our Lives this is progress.
I believe this gay romance between Sonny and Will is very progressive. I was concerned that Days of Our Lives producers would not allow the gay romance to have any passion. In this clip, Will’s father Lucas is struggling to accept his son’s homosexuality. Lucas argues with Sonny’s mother Adrienne about their boys dating. Lucas claims to be open minded but he is freaked out that Sonny and Will kiss passionately in public at the Horton Square.
Some fans believe the Days of Our Lives writers are throwing Lucas under the bus because he initially said he was accepting of Will’s homosexuality. Another important point to consider is, although Lucas did say he is okay with Will being gay now he has seen his son kiss another man. Lucas is finally realizing that Will is sexually attracted to other men and he wants to express his sexuality. Lucas is confused, upset, and hurt that Will is gay. I think Days of Our Lives needs some scenes with Lucas talking to Sonny’s father Justin since he is accepting of Will and Sonny’s gay relationship. I think Lucas needs to talk to another man about his feelings about Will’s homosexuality.
I believe this clip touches on the theme of masculinity. What does it mean to be a man? What is a real man? Some heterosexual men believe gay men relinquish our masculinity because we are gay. Lucas seems to think his son Will is less of a man because he is openly gay.
A few years ago, Lucas moved to Hong Kong, he might feel he is responsible for Will being gay because he lacked a male role model in his life. Lucas is not a homophobe, but he is clearly uncomfortable with his son being openly gay.
I also think Will is being a bit cruel to Lucas. It took Will a long time to accept his homosexuality so he should give his father some time to come to terms with him being gay.
I understand Will is heartbroken that Lucas does not accept him yet but his father needs time to adjust.
I think this clip is very realistic, it seems everyone in Salem accepts Will and Sonny’s homosexuality. However, we all know in the real world there is homophobia. Some people claim to be accepting of gay men on the surface. Meanwhile, when gay men express our homosexual desires then all hell breaks loose.
I hope Lucas eventually accepts Will’s homosexuality and they can go back to having a good father and son relationship.
New Gay Days Of Our Lives Storyline: Will & Sonny Kiss In Public But Lucas Is Disappointed His Son Is Openly Gay.
Freddie Smith and Chandler Massey have incredible chemistry they seem so comfortable with each other.
I just checked Days of Our Lives Facebook page and the homophobic comments I have read are disturbing but not surprising. Some people are really upset that Will and Sonny are kissing frequently on their television screen. I believe this gay romance is so important because daytime television needs more diversity.
The kissing scenes are improving but I kind of wish there were deeper kisses and not just quick kisses. I think it is realistic that Will Horton’s father is upset that his son is kissing another man in a public space. Lucas is still adjusting to the fact his son is a homosexual. I appreciate that Days of our Lives is exploring an underlining theme about masculinity. I notice that the only male in Salem who is 100% supportive of Will and Sonny dating is Sonny’s father Justin. Rafe, Lucas, Brady, Bo, Roman, are the male role models in Will’s life aren’t exactly thrilled he is gay. Maybe, the male father figures in Will’s life aren’t comfortable or know how to talk to him? I notice the female family members his mother Sami, his grandmother Marlena, and his other grandmother Kate are very supportive of him being gay.
Perhaps, Lucas feels that he failed Will since he moved away to Hong Kong and wasn’t around for two years during his adolescence? I think Lucas is going to hopefully accept Will and Sonny’s romance.
LA Complex Gay Storyline Second Season Finale: Kal’s Father Dies He Has A Frank Ocean Moment Comes Out On The Internet.
Sometimes I wonder, if the writers of the LA Complex are prescient? After all, the hip hop artist Frank Ocean came out of the closet in July and now the gay rapper Kaldrick King comes out on the internet in the season finale. I was moved by Kaldrick’s letter he wanted to tell his father about his struggles with his homosexuality. After Kaldrick’s father dies,he realizes that he needs to live his life on his own terms and not worry about what other people think. Kakdrick finally acknowledges he is gay and he took the brave step to coming out to his fans online.
It is going to be interesting to see if there are ramifications and any fallout after Kaldrick comes out.
Are Kaldrick’s fans going to support him not that he declares he is a homosexual?
I feel that Kaldrick’s new boyfriend Chris is attractive and also very mature and thoughtful. However, I am not convinced that Kaldrick and Chris have the emotional and physical chemistry that they are in love. I sense that Chris is actually like another father figure to Kaldrick he is like a gay mentor to him showing him that is okay for a black man to be gay. I like the Chris because he is a positive representation of a gay black man he is a successful lawyer, and he is comfortable with his homosexuality. I am just not sold that Kaldrick and Chris are in love with each other.
At least the fictional character Kaldrick King is not stringing his fans along any longer pretending to be heterosexual when he knows he is a gay black man.
However, it is important to point out in the real world, a male rap artist with a high profile has never come out of the closet. Frank Ocean is a R&B singer he is not a rapper. In addition, unlike Frank Ocean, at least Kaldrick King is resolute that he is indeed homosexual. Frank Ocean recently released a music video called Pyramids about a female stripper. I don’t want to sound cynical, but I wonder if Frank Ocean’s coming out is simply a carefully planned publicity stunt? One argument is, Frank Ocean does not need to label his sexual orientation.
Another point to consider, politically correct people will state that we should not label other people but the truth is human beings do label each other. We utilize labels to identify, categorize, and it is a method to understanding each other. Is Frank Ocean gay, or bisexual? I believe Frank Ocean refuses to take on the gay label because he and his PR team probably feel it will stigmatize him and place him into a corner. Frank Ocean and his record company can claim he is a progressive queer role model because he came out of the closet.
Yes, it was a bold step forward for black gay rights that Frank Ocean a prominent African American musician came out of the closet. However, the ambiguity about the R&B singer’s sexual orientation is a quandary.
The media and the general public are confused about Frank Ocean’s true sexual orientation. On various media websites, I have read that Frank Ocean is gay and on other websites the writers state he is bisexual. Why hasn’t Frank Ocean made a music video about being in love with another man? Would it be too shocking or too gay for Frank Ocean to declare his love for another male and kiss him in a music video? Would it shock heterosexual female consumers if Frank Ocean made a music video about having a real passionate love affair with another man?
It is disconcerting that Frank Ocean is only trying to appeal to a heterosexual female market yet ignore his gay male market.
The general public isn’t stupid, Frank Ocean can’t crawl back into the closet he’s out that’s a wrap. Is Frank Ocean going to do what the British actor Luke Evans did come out and then run back into the closet? Luke Evans starred in the Immortals last year and his next major role will be in the Hobbit. Since Evans profile is rising in Hollywood his PR people believe the general public isn’t going to accept him as a gay male action star.
Over a decade ago, Luke Evans came out of the closet to the American gay publication Advocate Magazine All you need to do is type in Luke Evans and gay in a google search and you will find the article. Evans discussed his propensity to enjoying watching gay porn, his love for men with large penises, and his love for other men.
Fast forward a decade later, now that Luke Evans is being groomed by Hollywood to become an action star he is suddenly in love with women. Evans Wikipedia page is scrubbed clean of any discussion about his homosexuality. It appears Frank Ocean is also playing a pernicious game, he is blurring the lines of sexuality on purpose which is abhorrent and deleterious.
Frank Ocean certainly isn’t the gay black role model that the mainstream media is painting him to be. A real role model wouldn’t be singing about loving women and making a video about a female stripper.
Frank Ocean decided to come out of the closet and now he must deal with the consequences. He can’t have it both ways playing with various demographic markets. Frank Ocean needs to make it clear to the general public is he gay or bisexual. It is only fair, because it is not enough for Frank Ocean to state he once fell in love with another man. He needs to prove to the general public that he is indeed not playing a pathetic publicity stunt game and declare his love for other men.
At least Kaldrick King isn’t playing games with his audience on the LA Complex. It is disappointing that a fictional character on a television show is more progressive than a real human being who could do so much for black gay rights. Frank Ocean actions are very disappointing because he isn’t as comfortable with his sexuality and his actions prove this to be the case.
New Clip Days Of Our Lives Gay Storyline: Sonny & Will Are A Romantic Couple Their First Date At The Coffee House!!!
The long year wait is finally for Days of Our Lives fans Sonny and Will to finally a romantic couple. Freddie Smith and Chandler Massey have excellent chemistry with each other. The kissing scenes today are less awkward than the previous episode. Freddie and Chandler are adorable they really capture the excitement of their characters Sonny and Will’s romance starting to bloom.
The final scene in the coffee house is hilarious when Lucas spots the guys kissing and he freaks out! It looks like Lucas might not be so comfortable with his son Will being gay. However, I think it is realistic of the Days of Our Lives writers to have Lucas feeling uncomfortable. It is hard for some fathers to accept that their son is a homosexual. Although Lucas has stated he is okay with Will being gay, now that he has seen Will kiss Sonny the realization is settling in. My only complaint is, the gay storyline on Days of Our Lives isn’t getting enough screentime. I hated that the kissing scenes between Freddie and Chandler were cut and spread out across the episode.
It is going to be interesting to see if Days of Our Lives will allow Will and Sonny to have a sex scene? After all, if the heterosexual characters on Days of Our Lives can have sex why can’t the gays? Also, I hope the Days of Our Lives writers allow Sonny and Will to have a serious romance. For instance, I hope the audience is going to be allowed to see Will and Sonny holding hands in public walking through the Horton Square.
Days Of Our Lives Gay Storyline: Sonny & Will Finally Have Their First Real Passionate Kiss!!!
Last month, Sonny kissed Will but Will was still terrified because he wasn’t sure if he had feelings for his best friend. On tomorrow’s episode, Days Of Our Lives fans are finally going to see the first real passionate kiss between Sonny and Will.
Some fans have wondered do Freddie Smith and Chandler Massey have the chemistry to prove to the audience their characters are in love?
In previous kissing scenes, some fans have complained that Chandler Massey is awkward regardless of whether he is kissing a woman or a man.
However, I think fans of Days of Our Lives have the answer Freddie Smith and Chandler Massey have incredible chemistry they play off of each other.
Technically, this is Sonny & Will’s second kiss but this time there is desire and passion behind this kiss. Freddie Smith and Chandler Massey are both straight in real life but their acting in this scene is superb. Both Smith and Massey have no hesitation and really nail this kissing scene. I also liked that the guys both closed their eyes and Massey’s grabs the back of Smith’s neck as they lean in to kiss. The kissing scene is hot!
LA Complex Gay Storyline: Tariq & Kal Are Not Getting Back Together.
I know Kal was wrong for beating up his ex boyfriend Tariq but I must admit I want them to get back together. The scene inside Tariq’s apartment in Montreal is so emotional. I yearned to see Tariq and Kal have one last kiss. I wish there was a television show specifically about gay black men. On American television this fall there are two gay shows NBC’s The New Normal and CBS Partners focus on white gay men. I believe it is time for network television to have a television show specifically about gay men of colour because this would be groundbreaking.
The paucity of queer men of colour’s storylines is deleterious because it erases our realities. I believe the Tariq and Kal storyline is positive specifically because they are both black gay men.
Although the LA Complex gay storyline is not perfect, it still illustrates to the audience that gay black men we do love each other. The negative aspect of the gay storyline is the violence which I still believe is pernicious. Couldn’t the writers have done something else to create conflict for Tariq and Kal? Why was it necessary for Kal to be violent and beat Tariq? I am concerned about the subliminal messages of racism about gay black men.
The writing is flawed because the audience needed to see Tariq’s journey from being a domestic violence victim to regaining his self confidence. The LA Complex writers only focused on Kal’s storyline because I guess it is more sensational to deal with a closeted gay rapper. I can’t help but think Tariq deserved more attention and screentime. I wanted to see Tariq go into therapy, speak at a domestic violence group, and battle with his conflicting emotions about Kal. The LA Complex writers robbed the audience of Tariq’s journey from pain to resolution.
The acting by Benjamin Watson and Andra Fuller is flawless. The facial expressions of Watson and Fuller express the pain, regret, sadness, and unhappiness of their break up.
Kal clearly loves Tariq he knows he is wrong for physically abusing him. However, the sadness on Tariq’s face he held it together long enough and stayed strong he wants nothing to do with Kal.
After Kal left, Tariq cried it was heartbreaking to see him so upset because I believe he is torn. Tariq still loves Kal but he can’t forgive him.
I feel that Tariq and Kal have so much chemistry, passion, and love for each other. I believe this is a breakthrough storyline for television to have two young gay black men fall in love and out of love with each other.
I am sad that Tariq is gone because I believe he is the man for Kal. Kal is a work in progress, he still needs to deal with his internalized homophobia and self hatred. Tariq has already moved on he has a new boyfriend and Kal is dating the lawyer Chris. I think Chris is cute, he seems grounded, mature, and responsible, but I am not sure if Kal and Chris have a love connection? I feel that the desire, and love that Tariq and Kal is more powerful.
Gay Australian Soap Neighbours Clip: Chris Wants His Ex Boyfriend Aidan Back But He is Rejected.
I love this gay storyline on the Australian soap Neighbours. It is wonderful to watch a gay male storyline from a different country. It is just nice to see male homosexuality on my television screen. Currently in Australia, homosexuality is a hot topic with the debates about same sex marriage and gay rights. Gay marriage is still illegal in Australia and the Prime Minister Julia Gillard is opposed to changing the marriage act.
Some fans are disappointed that Chris and Aidan gay romance is not more intense. However, Neighbours is a conservative Australian soap. I agree that Chris and Aidan deserve to have more love scenes but there is still a double standard on television. Heterosexual characters are allowed to express their sexuality while gay male characters have to be chaste. Chris and Aidan have kissed a couple of times but their kisses are so tame.
Chris and Aidan are a cute couple but a few months ago Chris lied to Adian. I can understand Aidan is worried that Chris is going to lie to him again but the last scene is so sad. Chris loves Aidan but sometimes love just is not enough.
Sad News: Gay Couple Christian & Syed Axed From British Soap Eastenders Leaving In November.
By SARAH FITZMAURICE
Their relationship caused controversy both on and off-screen but two of Walford’s biggest characters are set to leave the soap.
Christian and Syed, as played by Marc Elliott and John Partridge, are to leave EastEnders later this year, it has been revealed.
Marc,32, is said to have told bosses he wanted to leave the show in February, according to Digital Spy.
Bye Bye Walford: EastEnders has confirmed that they are writing out the characters of Christian and SyedIt has not be revealed how the characters will be written out of the soap
Speaking about the characters exit Lorraine Newman said: ‘Marc and John have been a fantastic part of EastEnders and the characters of Syed and Christian have been a huge success for the show. Their storylines have broken boundaries that have not been seen in a soap before and the love for them by the viewers can be seen in the ‘Chryed’ fans.’
‘When Marc announced he had decided to move on, we had a tough decision to make and after numerous conversations, which included John, it was decided that there is only one outcome for Syed and Christian. We wish them both all the best for the future.’
Speaking about the show, where he has been since 2009 Elliot said: ‘I have had a brilliant time on EastEnders over the last three and a half years and made some amazing friends. During this time, I have been blessed with some incredible storylines and am especially pleased that the show has tackled and raised awareness of the sensitive subject matter of being a gay muslim.’
Making history: EastEnders showed the first prime-time gay kiss in 1987 when Barry Clark and Colin Russell shared a smooch‘As an actor you are always looking for new challenges and I feel that now is the right time to move on and explore different projects, perhaps returning to my roots in theatre. I would like to thank everyone at EastEnders for the wonderful opportunity they have given me and for making this experience so much fun.’
Partridge added: ‘I have had the time of my life at EastEnders – but I have always gone with my gut – and leaving at the same time as Marc felt like the ONLY thing to do.
‘It is the right end to the story and for Christian. But also, excitingly, the start of a whole new chapter for me.’
Today John tweeted: ‘I am so very proud to have been a part of the show, I have LOVED it, but you have to know when to call time and it was time! #vivachyred’
When it was announced that Syed would share a kiss with Christian it caused controversy among some Muslin groups.
At the time Asghar Bokhari from the Muslim Public Affairs Committee said: ‘The Muslim community deserves a character that represents them to the wider public because Islamophobia is so great right now.
‘There’s a lack of understanding of Muslims already and I think EastEnders really lost an opportunity to present a normal friendly Muslim character to the British public.’
EastEnders made history in 1987 when the show screened the first on-sir gay kiss on prime time TV between Barry Clark and Colin Russell.
