Not a soap fan, but I thought this warranted mention. Another person suffers for standing up for their beliefs.

Actors need to get together and start a new Hollywood. The public would most likely support them and wash out the communists. Where’s McCarthy when you need him?

By the end of the Reign Of Obama The First we will be entirely ruled by racist blacks, militant Latinos and queers.

Whites and straights won’t be welcome in colleges and most professions. Those with jobs will be employed only in the less desireable jobs.

Don’t expect our new rulers to make attempts to be even-handed and non-discriminatory towards us as we have toward them.

They can get Perez Hilton to take her place. No big loss here. Anyone who watches that garbage becomes trash themselves.

At what point does this become discrimination?

I’m sure to get flamed for this, but actors and actresses sign a contract to play roles that are written for them. Soaps often have their characters doing unwholesome things - will she refuse to portray her character when there is adultery? Drugs? If an abortion is involved?

Many actors and actresses play parts where the character’s actions “conflict with their personal beliefs.” Otherwise no one would play Hitler in WW II movies, no one would play the murderer in a mystery, no one would have played the pharaoh in “The 10 Commandments.”

Get real - she signed on to an acting job in a medium known for sleazy plot lines. If she didn’t want to participate in something that conflicted with her beliefs, soap operas are the wrong business for her. Her employers may have terrible taste in plots, but it’s their right to fire an employee who won’t fulfill the terms of her contract.

I’m a fierce warrior against the homo-agenda, but this story is hypocritical. Adultery and fornication abound in soaps - do you think she would have retained her job if she had refused to take part in any story line that portrayed these vices?

But this does go to show the inroads the homo-agenda is making in all areas of entertainment.

What, exactly, are her beliefs?

She's ok with the adultery, murder, backstabbing, gossip, sex outside of marriage, theft, alcohol and drug abuse portrayed on soap operas, but not gay people?

She'd like to pick and choose which sins she plays a part in glorifying.

Interesting.

She wasn't standing up for *her* beliefs. She was standing up for her character's beliefs. Her objection is that it doesn't make any sense for her holier-than-thou character, Carlotta Vega, to not object to homosexuality. And she's right. I watch the show. Carlotta Vega is about the most boring prude to ever cross the daytime screen. She disapproves of *everything*. For her to not have a problem with gays is ludicrous. That's all the actress was pointing out. Her mistake was thinking that tiic give a damn about consistency.
