LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Daytime television viewers -- considered to be among America's most conservative audiences -- will see their first on-screen lesbian kiss next week, ABC television said on Monday. The kiss will take place during the April 22 episode of the Emmy-award winning soap opera "All My Children," making what ABC said would be a first in the world of daytime television.
It comes in a scene featuring gay teen character Bianca Montgomery (Eden Riegel), who came out as a lesbian in 2000, and her new friend Lena (Olga Sosnovska) who "in a moment of truth and true love ... comes to terms with her feelings."
"All My Children" has tackled a number of controversial topics during its 33 years on the air including AIDS, abortion, drug abuse, racial bias and teenage alcoholism.
"The theme of 'All My Children' from the beginning is the belief that, as God's children, we are all bound to each other by our common humanity despite our many personal differences; that it is our failure to understand and respect those differences that causes most of life's pain and suffering," said the show's creator, Agnes Nixon, in a statement..
"The Bianca story is our latest effort to dramatize that belief," she added.

I stopped watching that crap years agoSince 9/11 I've not allowed them on here. They are utter nonsense and totally irrelevant.
To: secret garden
I really don't know how to break this news to my mother and her sister who watch this show, together, everyday.
They are from 'Greatest Generation' group and will have a 'real' hard time dealing with this.
Should I tell them or let them just be 'surprised'???

Daytime TV is more of a cultural wasteland than prime time.

"All My Children," The conservative audience doesn't watch this crap. It's welfare moms and older folks. The actors live a liberal (whoring) lifestyle - jumping from one bed to another or one affair to the next. Why would they think a conservatives would watch this junk?
In my opinion, conservatives are more likely to watch HGTV, Fox, cooking shows, etc. - something practical and productive.

It depends on which reaction you'd rather cause...

Wow - Eden is one good looking carpet muncher, and what a waste of a weapon system.
Our Country is at a low point in morality.

A report by the National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs indicates that of 3,327 domestic violence cases self-reported among homosexuals in 12 U.S. cities in 1997, about half involved lesbian, bisexual and transgender women. " The fact is, gay men and lesbians are more likely to be injured by an intimate partner than a stranger," said Susan Holt, program coordinator for domestic violence services at the L.A. Gay and Lesbian Center. Holt said that studies suggest that between 25% to 33% of all gay male and lesbian relationships involve abuse. Source: Rhonda Smith, " Lesbians affected by domestic violence, reports says," The Washington Blade, 16 October 1998.Again, I guess homosexual relationships are violence free.
Dude, did you just yank your approach shot into the pond?

Lesbianism is a genetic dead-end. It is not just Islam that has a fringe culture of death being preached, so do we.

What is with this glorification and worship of homosexuality by the media? This country is losing it.

"Common humanity" is divided into two groups: the children of God and the children of the devil. The "we're all the same" is a conceit of the scoundrel left.
