Reply #14: On "Passions," a regular character just came out as gay.

[Kat45]

She's college-aged; she's also African-American. They showed her in bed, talking, with another woman. She had been staying with her for a while, when everyone thought she was at something in California. She was in love with her and wanted forever but the woman didn't want an LTR. A couple of her female friends were cool with her being a lesbian, but when her father found out, he was hating it and screaming at her. Her mother, a doctor, isn't thrilled about it but she's trying to be supportive. An old-time-religion old lady relative kicked her out of her nursing home room when she told her. So, I think they've had a fairly realistic range of reactions to her coming out.
