For all the talk about lack of diversity in daytime soap operas in 2010, there have been some wonderful coming out stories over the years, most especially Billy on ONE LIFE TO LIVE (Ryan Phillippe), Bianca on ALL MY CHILDREN (Eden Riegel) and Luke on AS THE WORLD TURNS (Van Hansis). Indie soaps have also provided some incredible moments including Vivian on ANYONE BUT ME (Rachael Hip-Flores). Here's a look back at a few of those stories with sometimes less than accepting reactions.
Steven Carrington, DYNASTY (1981)
Lynn Carson, ALL MY CHILDREN (1983)

Bianca Montgomery, ALL MY CHILDREN (2000)
Luke Snyder, AS THE WORLD TURNS (2006)
