Fans of "One Life to Live's" gay couple Kyle Lewis (Brett Claywell) and Oliver Fish (Scott Evans), better known as "Kish," will rally in Times Square to protest their favorite characters being written off of the soap.
The fans, who call themselves the "Kish Army," will gather outside ABC's "Good Morning America" studios starting at 6:30 a.m. ET on Friday, March 26. The Save Kish website, which is helping to spread awareness about the event, accuses ABC of "giving in to bigots."
Protesters are encouraged to make signs and wear t-shirts that support the actors or characters, and organizers are expected to appear in the "Good Morning America" studio audience as well. Fans plan to not only support "Kish," but also gay representation in the media in general, and gay story lines on daytime television.
While midwestern housewives and conservative assholes hide behind their disapproval letters, they should never underestimate the power of TV fans in large numbers! I never understood how fans could be okay with the incestuous storyline of Mitch Lawrence trying to rape and impregnate his own daughter but god forbid if a gay couple comes on daytime TV and has a honest and loving relationship, that ruffles your feathers. i will never understand people's mentality. Or maybe it's okay because incest is the norm in all the red states.
