As The World Turns Luke Scene 3

This just scares the hell out of me...I would never have the courage to come out to my parents. I'd rather live the lie.

OMG, no you don't mean that!! I live in Holland and it's very normal here! Please don't live a lie! Tell them, they love you, they will understand.. as the time will pass!

God no...it is so much easier this way...I'm 17 and I already live out of the house so I'm free of them but they still pay my rent and if I told them I was gay, seriously they would stop paying my rent and def. cut me off. I prefer it this way...no talk...no worries

This made me cry... I remember coming out to my parents... I remember the horror and craziness that went along with it. Dang I wish I had a dad as supportive as Luke's XP

If my future son was gay I wouldn't react like Luke's mother...

I'm surprised Lily didn't freak out and run away, something she's done since the 80s.

That's a good storyline. As the writers of The young and the restless are supposed to be social concious, I don't understand why they never develop such a plot(as YR's ratings are also falling!)Gays' lives should also occur in soaps, as it should represent part of life. Thank you "As the world turns", for Luke's story!

i love you already...i wish i was your child..:(

Pretty much how my mom reacted. And still reacts, 5 years later, whenever the topic comes up. But it is a big deal, as much as some people want to pretend that it's not, and Lily wasn't prepared for anything like it... It's understandable for her to react badly at first. I don't know the rest of the storyline, I just hope that she became more accepting.

she does become more accepting. WAY more accepting. sad it took a near death experience to do it but.... thats life.
