Soap Operas and Gay Supremacy

Soap Operas and Gay Supremacy

I’m not much of an aficionado of soap operas. My mom was a virtual addict of “General Hospital” for decades but, then again, I guess TV shows like “ER” weren’t all that distinct from soaps.

They were termed “soaps” because they initially were promoted by soap companies and designed to appeal to that group most closely connected with soap products, women. That was when “stay at home moms” were the norm rather than the exception.

They have also evolved into programs committed not just to racy story plots of desperate women, indiscreet sex, wild abandon, and now into social and religious arbiters when it comes to themes of homosexuality.

Patricia Mauceri had been a regular on the popular soap, “One Life to Live” for 14 years. She pretty much played herself as Carlotta Vega, a devout Christian character she helped create.

Enter a homosexual theme. Patricia/Carlotta objected since it conflicted with both her beliefs and character.

“The 59-year-old Mauceri says that she ‘did not object to being in a gay storyline. I objected to speaking the truth of what that person, how that person would live and breathe and act in that storyline . . . And this goes against everything I am, my belief system, . . .
