Tomorrow's As the World Turns: Luke's Grandmother not down with Luke and Noah "being together"

In last week's BEST.GAY.WEEK.EVER! column I mentioned that an upcoming storyline on As The World Turns would involve Noah coming to spend the holidays at the Snyder family farm. And tomorrow's preview indicates just that, although it appears Luke's grandmother stands to come between the two lovers. How exactly? Check it out after the jump, but if you read my column, you'll already have an idea of why she objects. And I actually agree with her!

    Same bed??

    Who says they have to stay in the same bedroom? Gee whizz. . . Is she afraid they would ccrreepp into each other's room? Wouldn't she believe Luke if he gave his word? Oh, I forGOT!! This is a SOAP OPERA!

    What.

    Michael, you "actually agree with her!"? How dare granma Snyder get between us and our vicarious gay porn. Yes, we have had Hotprechaun in bed with his shirt off kissing that woman who used to be involved with Dusty. I expect no less for NUKE, Granma Snyder be damned.

    I bet Lucinda (crazy drumstick lady) and Dusty get caught together in bed by Lily; which would be hilarious.

    I'm just saying that if my seventeen year old nephew

    were going to be staying in my house with his boyfriend OR girlfriend, I'd have qualms about letting them go at it like bunnies under my roof. Frankly, I just loved Holden saying that Luke wanted to be treated exactly as he would be if he were straight and that's what Grandma Snyder is doing. Now as a gay fan of the show, what I might want to see is a whole different matter!

    Not that big a deal.

     Ummm... maybe my parents are just hippies are something but my sisters boyfriend has slept over since she was 16, and I’ve been allowed to have my boyfriends over since I was 17. Lots of my friends also have the same privileges. discounting my sister i think a big part of it is a) nobodies going to get pregnant and b) my parents would rather let my boyfriend spend the night then have me turn out to be some horror story on the 7 o’clock news as the victim of an internet perv. I know that seems drastic on their part, but I can’t blame them because every time you turn on the news there’s another victim on there.

    I'm thorn

    One part of me wants some gay porn involving those two... Like, really, desperatelly, now.

    But this other part of me knows with a certainty that is pretty scary, that if my gay son brought his boyfriend home for Christmas, said boyfriend would be sleeping on the couch or in the guest room. And in case you lot start to yell at me... If my straight son brought his girlfriend home for Christmas than said girlfriend wouldn't be sleeping in the same room as my son either.

    There's just something I refuse to accept about my children and it's the fact that they might be growing up and maybe even having sex.

     

    For the record this is completely theoretical as I dont have children yet. 

    Thank God I suppose.

    Well.....

    I do have kids and I didn't allow my son to let his girlfriend sleep over.  I'm on Emma's side on this one.  I'm still shocked at Luke would even ask Emma if Noah could stay with the expectation they would be sharing a room.  What was he thinking!?  I got the sense though that if it were up to Holden, he'd let Noah and Luke share a room.  But Holden is the world's most supportive dad a gay boy could have.  Of course, I can't wait to hear Emma's ground rules.  They know she'll have that spatula ready if they break them!  I do like they are confronting the issue of Luke and Noah and sex directly though and not skirting the issue.

    I do have grown kids and....

    ....what it boils down to is the choice between your kids having sex in the back seat of a car or in an alley behind a gay bar or in a park somewhere, OR in a clean, safe, warm bed with condoms in a home with supportive, responsible adults. We may feel squirmy and uncomfortable about our kids being sexual beings, but they are. My kids, after about age 17 were allowed to have their girlfriend/boyfriends sleep over. Certainly only after they had been in a somewhat committed relationship, not just a one night stand fling thing. I didn't exactly like it, but the alternative is just stupid.

     

    If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning.
