ITA! Especially the curtains part. That really floored me. The thought of a little boy thinking, "They're like me!" brought tears to my eyes. Well done, Days of Our Lives. Well done. I'm honestly amazed by how wonderful that was.

I LOVED the cowboy thing! The story touched me, and I just really loved how the show made a point of saying so clearly that being gay isn't something that just happens at puberty or whatever, that a five year old can already know he's gay.

But I think the part that impressed me the most was Justin and Adrienne saying that their initial reaction was "That's it?" That is was initially just not a big deal to them at all. But then later they found themselves watching everything they said and that they ended up going to a support group. I just thought the whole idea that, no matter how tolerant and accepting and loving they were, there would still be a part of them that just didn't know how to deal with it until they talked to other parents of gay children, seemed very authentic.

I found it much more believable and handled much better than Holden pushing Luke's "relationship" with Jade because it was "proof" that Luke wasn't gay, then turning on a dime in an instant once Luke admitted he was gay and being all "I love you no matter what." And I don't think I even need to say anything about how much better Justin and Adrienne are than Lily was when she found out!
