CHARACTERS GAY

For years, there has been a buzz about the lack of LGBT representation on the TV. Of late however, there has been a growing number of gay characters portrayed on TV, especially in the circle of daytime soaps. ABC’s “All My Children” has had a lesbian wedding, and CBS has had an ongoing gay drama (including sex) on their long running “As the World Turns”.

Well, it looks like CBS has yet again stumbled into the gay ring on daytime. This time it’s on the long running Young and Restless. That’s right, Y&R’s Yani Gellman, who plays the role of Rafe, is coming out as gay.
