ATWT's Noah to Luke: "I can't be gay!"
I had some guys come up to me at the NLGJA convention and say they are now hooked on "As the World Turns" because of my updates of the Luke and Noah storyline. I'm just following the lead of AfterElton.com and trying to keep up with this well-acted and well-written show.
I lived this storyline in my mid-20s and some of my confrontations with my closeted lover sounded much like this clip from an episode that aired last week. I was not near as composed or articulate as Luke though. I'd say things like, 'You're a complete fraud!"
Real classy.

Well, in fairness to yourself, this is television, and you were living real life. It's a lot easier to come up with the right things to say when someone else is writing it for you. Having dated quite a few closeted guys earlier in my life (yes, I am a slow learner) I can say that its understandable. Part of the dynamic is that its a two street being made into one way. Theirs.
Good television. I thought we were past this sort of thing, but I am way out of touch. I was at Stonewall, so you can see, I'm no 20 something any longer!
