The Unexpected Brilliance Of The Young And The Restless’s New Same-Sex Love Matchhttp://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/the ... 5bdfb3223eDaraus:
Zitat:
Last week, Mariah and Tessa’s slow dance culminated in their first kiss, which, naturally, made some Y&R viewers go ballistic. How dare they show two adult women kissing on TV in the middle of the afternoon?! Despite decades of advancement in real life and myriad LGBTQ characters on prime-time TV, moralizing conservatives are still singing the same decades-old tune.
But there’s a new twist in the romantic melody that’s currently playing out on TV. Two women are falling in love, and so far, there hasn’t been any mention of either’s sexual orientation. Although they’re both clearly surprised and confused by their burgeoning feelings, neither Mariah nor Tessa appear to be struggling with their sexual identity or trying to define it. At the moment, they’re just two women falling for each other and attempting to make sense of it without putting a label on it.
Zitat:
Let’s just hope it continues to play out like a universal love story, without the handwringing over sexual orientation that usually accompanies daytime-TV forays into same-sex romance. There’s already inherent drama in two siblings falling for the same person, even if it’s not two sisters or two brothers. Who ultimately ends up with whom doesn’t have to be as life-defining or character-defining as the unplanned pregnancy currently complicating another Y&R storyline.
Yes, coming-out angst is a fact of LGBTQ life, but Y&R‘s new writing regime would be wise not to predictably fall back on it. I’m dreading having to watch poor Noah get his heart broken again. But if “Messa” can bring us closer to demolishing those tired old distinctions between “gay” love and “straight” love, it’ll be worth his pain.
Ich habe übrigens den Fehler begangen, auf der Young and Restless Facebook Seite ein paar der Kommentare zu lesen. Meine Güte.
Ich verstehe, ehrlich gesagt, nicht, warum solche Leute immer "konservativ" genannt werden. Das ist einfach die pure Homophobie. Ich kenne genug sogenannte Konservative, die ganz anders denken. Glücklicherweise gibt es auf genannter Facebook Seite aber auch genügend Leute, die dagegen halten, denen die Story gefällt und/oder die diese Homophobie auch beim Namen nennen.
