As the CPR Turns

August 28, 2006

This past May, CBS came under fire when one of it’s teenage characters on "As the World Turns" came out of the closet. Lily and Holden’s son Luke, played by cutie Van Hansis, came out to his parents.

What made the event so impressive was the airing of a Public Service Announcement following the episode, urging viewers to end bigotry and homophobia by finding a way to support the gay community. The PSA was sponsored by GLAAD (Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) and featured links to PFLAG.

This prompted the extremists at the Traditional Values Coalition to call GLAAD: “one of the most dangerous organizations in America.” The way they see it, CBS has really taken a turn by allowing one of it’s teenage characters to participate in an act as “dangerous as tobacco or alchohol use.”20060828_cpr1_260x220.jpg

Well, they’re sure to be hopping mad this week when Luke comes out to his best friend Kevin. Of course, Luke is totally in love with Kevin and of course Kevin gets knocked unconscious and Luke has to give him mouth to mouth. That’s what happens to everyone when they come out.

Once it’s all over, we’ll be reporting on the statement that The Traditional Values Coalition will undoubtedly release about how performing CPR on a straight person should be a crime for any fictional gay person.
