The Keys To Your Ferrari

It is sad that All My Children went to all the trouble of ginning up fans and foes of gay marriage with the Bianca & Reese storyline. Many of the right things were said, some truly, deeply wrong things were shouted, but the worst, the very worst thing about this storyline was that it traded in prejudice without acknowledging it. It's classic soap opera to have an engaged person fool around the night before the wedding. Let's get that out of the way. It's really low to assert, however, that lesbians are confused, promiscuous, lack self-awareness and shouldn't get married, which is the take-away lesson of the whole episode.

So AMC staged this wedding and immediately pulled the plug on the marriage, as if to say, "Don't be mad at us, God Botherers! Do you see a couple of lesbians making out on the couch? You must have imagined it." I just don't have the patience for that kind of immaturity and cowardice.

Maybe I need a break from my soap. I certainly need a break from any argument that lesbians are mythical creatures on the prowl for a hot man.
