Want to know what the head of ABC Daytime thinks about his network's lesbian plot lines? Just ask him to lunch! We love the idea that all it takes to get an interview with Brian Frons, President of ABC Daytime is the promise of cheeseburgers at Madeo in West Hollywood. [Full Disclosure: Your editor worked for ABC Daytime about a bazillion years ago.]
He chats about how All My Children's lesbians "are cuter" than the ones of Grey's Anatomy and his comfortableness with putting gay and lesbian characters on daytime since having them appear is "true to what’s happening in people’s houses."

This is newsworthy or just electronic surveilance against the owner's permission? Hmmm, could be a broken federal law under wire-tapping. Did Brian Frons sign a Release Form?
Great. His college-educated cousin can talk about Bianca transcending their sexuality — but that's what a college education does to ya.
I'm sure you can expect much differently from the other high-school-educated stay-at-home moms who watch All My Children. Their ability to 'transcend' Bianca's sexuality may not be so easy, especially if they're keen on upholding their good Christian values.
Whatever this douche has to say, it doesn't really matter. He generalizes (and perhaps Romanticizes) people's reactions to his shows and, naturally, posits his shows as all that and a bag of chips. This is much expected from a president of any television corporation.
