  • Love Wins

    In honor of LGBTQ+ Pride month, is saluting the stars of The Young and the Restless, Days of Our Lives, The Bold and the Beautiful, Beyond the Gates and General Hospital who are living their truth.

Since , the Emmy winner has been married to writer/producer Robert Sudduth (Grease: Soar of the Pink Ladies), with whom he has a son, Montgomery.

  • Joanna Johnson

    Just before Bold & Beautiful revealed that Bill Spencer&#;s sister Karen is a lesbian, her portrayer toldTV Guide that she is, too. For years, &#;I was so worried I wouldn&#;t be employable as an actress if people knew,&#; she said, &#;or that I wouldn&#;t be believable in romance stories. I had to deal with a lot of self-loathing.&#; Now a TV producer, Johnson has been married since to club promoter

    I&#;ve been writing about TV for eight years, and it&#;s astounding how much has changed in such a relatively short period of time. When I first started, we had to have entire murderboards and charts and rely on whispered rumors and what we believed in our hearts to be true when it came to celebrities playing for &#;our team.&#; When people did come out, it was via a prolonged, emotional acceptance speech at an awards show, a personal essay.

    But Gen Z doesn&#;t have time for that. They want 15 second TikTok videos and character coming out tweets.

    The Boys' Lesbian Firecracker Actress Reveals Why She Had to Play the Anti-Gay Extremist Supe

    Summary

    • Firecracker in The Boys provides a stark contrast to Valorie Curry's real-life identity, but she connected with the character immediately.

    • Kripke defends the show against criticism of being "woke" and questions how fans can still root for Homelander's questionable behavior.
