This was mentioned in the Now Watching thread, but I wanted to make a new one.
I know that Bryan, Mo, and I all watch One Life To Live, and I'm not sure about the rest of you. But either way, this is rather important.
They're writing off Kyle and Oliver- the gay couple on One Life To Live- because the show's ratings have dropped, and they're BLAMING IT THE FACT THEY WENT "OVERBOARD WITH THE GAY STUFF"!!
They're the most adorable, real, BEST characters on OLTL, and they're being written off because they're gay. I'm so pissed off.
Article about it: http://www.queerty.com/is-one-life-to-live-writing-off-the-gays-because-they-decimated-ratings-20100311/
Facebook group against it: https://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=419524472784&ref=ts
Even if you don't watch the show, you should join the group, because it's not just about the characters; it's about principle and rights.

I just heard that the actors who play Oliver and Kyle weren't even TOLD they were being written off. They read it in the TV Guide. UGH!

Poor Scott Evans. I should take a stroll down to the studio and console him. Also his brother. I'm sure they're both really broken up about it.

I wish you hadn't corrected this.
This is pretty ridiculous for a network to do. I told Jess once Lost was over I would boycott ABC.

Wasn't it though BryBry????
And RyRy, that's why I corrected it in another post instead of editing, so it could still be seen in all it's glory.
Ok that came out wrong too.

Sorry. I didn't allude to a penis at all in that post. I'll do better next time.
