As ever, One Life to Live's Dorian Lord has the pulse of the nation, and that's nowhere more evident than her current political push for gay rights. Is she motivated more by ambition and self-interest (read: beating Viki) than pure passion for civil rights? Of course! This is Dorian Lord we're talking about! But even with her sights set solely on herself, Dorian manages to capture the hot-button issues of the day.
The bottom line, as Dorian well knows, is that gay storylines are so hot right now. Not only Dorian's campaign staff, but Fish and Kyle's star-crossed romance, Luke and Noah (and now Mason) on As The World Turns, Phillip Chancellor on The Young and the Restless ... the soaps really seem to be integrating gay storylines more than ever before. But these aren't the first gay storylines on daytime.
Take a spin through our gallery of our favorite, past and present, gay characters on soaps.

I sraerted watching Y&R, AMC, OLTL, and GH 31 years ago, and have not always been able to watch faithfully due to work, but always followed through magazines. I am no longer working, so have been watching more often, and my point is, I am not judging gay people to hell because God judges the heart, not me. However, I don't like it, I am disgusted with how far they have carried it by the hugging, and kissing, and the so-called marriages! Marriage is between 1 man & 1 woman, period! I remember a story line several years ago on AMC that was done in a more tasteful and non-offensive manner involving a character named Devon who was Lesbian. I admire the few characters who have left the shows rather than play the gay roles. I look anytime to see them actually showing them getting hot-n-heavy in the bedroom, and when that happens, I will no longer watch that show! I know losing a single viewer won't hurt the obviously more liberal issues hollywood, but there are other christians and even non-Christians, who will tolerate only so much before deciding, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH ALREADY!!!
I'm tired of all the gay *** on the soaps. It's disgusting and I don't want to see it. Y&R, I'm surprised that the writers have nothing else to write about, geezzzz. Continue with all the stupid story lines and you'll lose even more dedicated fans of the show.
I am happy for what happenned to Blair she asked for it she deserves it she does not want Todd and she does not want anybody else to be with him leave him alone i want Todd and Tea to be together and Blair butt out.and I am sick and tired of the gays and lesbian story that's discusting.
I'd vote for Dorian if she was able to look at the job of mayor as a real chance to do good. It seems like ( Dorian, so ditzy, sad, and, hilarious)she's looking at being mayor as just only a way to win one against Vicki. I 've been loving this show(OLTL), lately.
