I forgot to mention that I finally did get to Thursday's AS THE WORLD TURNS episode. It did contain the gay storyline, and it was kind of entertaining. Luke found another gay student in one of his classes and they had a coffee date. All it this seen by Noah who, naturally, is jealous but denies his feelings. Meanwhile Noah's military father, all sputtering prejudice and proud of his son for moving in with a girl, continues to sicken.
