    Passing this on...... I know some of you are BIG As the World Turns Fans!

    "Proctor and gamble is giving you the opportunity to vote to keep the gay
    storyline on as the world turns. you can bet your bippy that all the fundies
    are calling up and voting NO, so maybe you want to call and vote yes?
    1-800-331-3774. it's option two to get to the poll and 1 to keep the
    storyline."

    And as a more formal announcement says,
    *In response to heat they're getting from the American Family Association,
    P&G is conducting a phone poll to see if people are for or against the
    Luke/Noah storyline on As The World Turns. Even if you don't watch the show,
    please consider taking a quick moment to support boy kissing and thwart
    homophobic bigotry. The poll is completely automated. You don't have to talk
    to anyone. And it really does take all of a second to register your opinion.

    Just call 1-800-331-3774 and press #2 to get to the ATWT poll, then press 1
    to continue the storyline.

    That's just awful that they're even having a "poll." Those kinds of things are just massive opportunities for nasty religious leaders to rile up their mindless followers and completely overwhelm with numbers.

    And calling it a "poll" makes it sound legitimate, which anyone who knows anything about statistics knows is completely bogus.

    *sigh*

    I agree Joey. They should just ignore the fundies and go on with the storyline!

    Effin' Conservatives. That's all I have to say.
    I mean, everyone has a right to their opinion, but not if it's anti-gay. >_>

    What the fuck, caving in to some organization that (I hope) has no governmental power? Fuck fundamentalist Christians and their homophobic ways.

    Yeah, that's one thing I sorta never understood. It's not just Christians that are conservative and homophobic, it's everyone. I mean, there's homosexual homophobes.

    The AFA needs to pull its finger out of its behind and stop hounding television broadcasts. I have enough Christian-based channels on my DirecTV compared to gay channels to satisfy a Protestant for a lifetime; not to mention Christian-based shows, music, and movies compared to gay ones, and they're GRIPING OVER ONE SHOW.

    I'd be willing to vote to get the AFA to focus on something more family-oriented—as its name suggests—like not badgering companies over two boys kissing. I mean, I believe in the First Amendment and all, but God. *headdesk*
