why does he keep on ... ( 1 month ago by karlation37)

why does he keep on with the agenda, and he didn't even let howard speak.

i totally agree ... ( 1 month ago by iTaLiAnHoTTiE86)

i totally agree with that howard guy. if you don't like what you see fucking change the channel nobody is there to hold your freaking eyes there to watch it. The Reality of it is that soap operas are there to show the more dramatic entertaining parts of life. Being gay is a part of life. And we have drama in our lives just like straight people. Viewers don't mind seeing sex scenes in a soap opera and obviously the majority of viewers don't mind seeing a gay couple kiss

I like how they ... ( 1 month ago by kimmy1358)

I like how they have a Rep. and and a Dem. face off. I'm a Dem so everything the Rep said just pissed me off!
The Dem was right when he said we have all these horribe things. Rape & Murder. But not a love story played right between 2ppl.
Being gay isnt a lifestyle. It's just who you are. There is no difference between a gay & a straight, except for which sex attracts you. On ATWT it's played as just any other love story would be.

That is why we have ... ( 1 month ago by kimmy1358)

That is why we have this beautiful machine called a remote control. If you don't want to see it change the channel.

I totally agree ... ( 1 month ago by kimmy1358)

I totally agree with you. If you don't want tot watch it change the channel. Let the fans of Luke & Noah watch what they want 2 watch! I mean, if it wasn't for the contreversy over a story about a couple, a regular couple, they would have done "more" by now!

Exactlly. Which ... ( 1 month ago by kimmy1358)

Exactlly. Which makes me think. The Dem.'s are taking over, which is good. America needs a change. This type of story is going all around us outside of the tv, so why not put it in the tv? I mean, it's life, and I as a soap fan watch because of that! I watch because it is what we see around us in an entertaining way!

That is why we have ... ( 1 month ago by kimmy1358)

That is why we have this beautiful machine called a remote control. If you don't want to see it change the channel.
I just wanted to punch the rep. As I had said couples kiss. Whether it is between a man & a man or a man & a woman, couples kiss. In a relationship you kiss, so if you want to show a romantic relationship you have to show them kissing!
They have the responsiblity to show the story realisticly. If you're gonna put it out there you have to play it off as any other couple.

everybody has their ... ( 1 month ago by perfectionist101)

everybody has their own opinion. but STFU!!!! gays are people too and i personally love them cause they sometimes are more real than heteros. i love luke and noah and i even want more of them and i'm a straight, black girl living in jamaica.

I don't want to see ... ( 1 month ago by rrrocksmahsocks)

I don't want to see straight people kissing because they're trying to push their agenda on me

Shit i happen to ... ( 1 month ago by 902260)

Shit i happen to want to see them kiss and if the straights dont want it turn it off

I a straight black ... ( 4 weeks ago by Sweetp000433)

I a straight black a girl and I love Luke and Noah but I find it uncomfortable to watch them kiss, i change the channel when they do and then I come back and watch them, the last time they kissed I forced my self to watch it and I think next time it won't bother me at all. But the point is I changed the channel, no one was forcing any agenda down my throat and i'm still straight, I didn't catch being guy.

The one thing that ... ( 3 weeks ago by writerindisguise)

The one thing that is incredibly annoying in this video: Ben KEEPS interrupting Howard. Everytime Howard talks, ben HAS to interrupt him. Let the guy talk!!! You had your turn!!

Shut the FUCK up ... ( 2 weeks ago by flamingpoolsofstone)

Shut the FUCK up Ben. You know, there MIGHT just have been a tiny reason why she specifically called on Howard to answer the question. And god, "majority of people don't want to see two guys kissing"? Who does he think he is to judge that ? Pisses me off so much. Work that beautiful machine dude.

wot a tosser. im ... ( 1 week ago by mcdeanfan)

wot a tosser. im straight and i have no problem with gays kissing. if u got a problem wit it why do u watch it?

Hey Ben,SHUT THE ... ( 1 week ago by DTNGislifee)

Hey Ben,SHUT THE FUCK UP.
I agree with the other guy,
If you're soooooo against gay people,CHANGE THE GOD DAMN CHANNEL
I'm gonna punch my computer screen.

Ben's argument ... ( 1 week ago by rkozik87)

Ben's argument seems predicated upon this fantasy-land notion that the U.S. is more conservative than liberal Hollywood understands. This is of course bullshit. The vast, overwhelming majority of Americans are simply not conservative, but since that does not square with Ben's agenda, they fabricate this false identity which paints Americans as uber-conservative.

Ben has obviously ... ( 6 days ago by tokoshie)

Ben has obviously not done his homework on this. If he had, he would not be talking about the kiss affecting ratings in a negative way since ATWT has gone UP in ratings to the 3rd most popular soap in the US since the Nuke story line came on... Dumbass.

I usually like to ... ( 5 days ago by Jibberish55)

I usually like to keep an open mind, but that conservative guy is a dick.

that conservative ... ( 3 days ago by CacklingPomegranate)

that conservative talk-host guy is an asshole and a bigot.

I'm curious to know ... ( 2 days ago by RiboflavinB2)

I'm curious to know how you feel about it now. I think today's kiss was super cute.

Nobody wants to see ... ( 2 days ago by kloefairytales)

Nobody wants to see Luke and Noah kissing?!?! Haha, take a look on youtube's comments, dumbass, you'll see just as much you're wrong...

In my opinion the ... ( 18 hours ago by AzDoll714)

In my opinion the producers are basically saying gay relationships are wrong by censoring Nuke. If they wouldn't do it to a hetero couple they shouldn't to a homosexual couple. I noticed a few people mentioned that most Americans aren't conservative...Idk for sure but either way something tells me that most ATWT fans aren't conservatives as it is.

You do know Hate is a Sin against God right and judgment, you have no right to Judge because you are not GOD.
