You guys, I'm so impressed with the show in regards to this storyline so far! As everyone has said, Adrienne and Justin's convo with Maggie was pitch perfect (seriously, the cowboys curtains = genius), and Victor got to voice some of the concerns that you know certain audience members have, and I think it was good that he wasn't an awful homophobe, but also wasn't rolling out the rainbow flag. There will be a progression there, I'm sure.

I'm guessing the Hortons are going to struggle with Will's gayness a bit more, and they'll compare and contrast reactions between families. I'm so looking forward to how it all unfolds!

Totally agree with your points re Sonny's family and your guess that the Horton's will react differently. I want to see it all continue to be handled sensitively but yes, this is a soap and they need the drama so...........
My money is on Sami and Chad being difficult with Rafe and Grandma being understanding, Kinsey titillated, Gabs (who cares) and T acting all cool

I think Will will definitely have to deal with some of his family struggling with him being gay. I'm not sure if it will come from the Horton or the Brady side of his family (or maybe some of both), but I can't imagine they'll make it easy for him. I mean, I think they only reason they made it easy for Sonny was because it happened off-screen, but Will's story will be happening on screen, and everyone being all, "okay, that's great, we love you no matter what" just doesn't make for good drama.

I'm not sure how Sami will take it. I mean, she's very big on drama, so I could see her trying to fight him on it, but OTOH, after everything she's done in her life, she should get on her knees and thank whatever god she believes in that being gay is Will's biggest "problem". I could definitely see Grandpa Roman having a hard time with it... but that's mainly because I have just never liked Roman, not an actual prediction that he will have a hard time!

I think it would be kind of awesome if at least one person in Will's family, when finding out he's with Sonny, got really, really upset about it, but it turned out the problem wasn't Will being gay but rather "OMG, how could you date a Kiriakis!" :D

I have a feeling Caroline is not going to take it well, given they set up her connection to Gabi recently. I do think Sami will come through and be fine after the shock, and I would love it if someone was only upset because of the Kiriakis thing. Hee.

I'm guessing Chad won't take it well, and that will cause friction between him and Abigail, who is obviously down with the gay.

In regards to anyone having an issue with Sonny being gay, I actually think that the only person that'll show any problem with it might be Will out of his own insecurities.

As for Will, well he's a Horton... that's a gateway to drama right there.
