Censorship rearing its ugly head on daytime TV...

Luke and Noah on "As The World Turns"



I don’t watch the daytime soap opera “As The World Turns” but I have heard the internet rumbling about the Luke and Noah storyline and the fact that they haven’t kissed since last September. Apparently they did get a couple of kisses on screen recently and it has caused the radicals to start a campaign against Proctor and Gamble, the sponsors of the show.

You can read about the American Family Association campaign here. They were kind enough to include the YouTube video of the kiss scene in their email with the warning "Content is repulsive."

Procter and Gamble is conducting an alarming poll about continuing the Luke and Noah storyline.



Even if you don't watch but want to defeat homophobia and unnecessary censorship, please call:



1-800-331-3774



Press 2 for the Luke and Noah poll, and then 1 to vote to continue the storyline.

Then post this in your blog so that more people will see it.

Countess, I've watched the Luke and Noah story a few times and am aware of the controversy. So much for my respect of the Proctor and Gamble Company. When will this type of thing ever end?
