ALL MY CHILDREN won the GLAAD Media Award in 1996 for the coming out story of Michael Delaney, a gay high school teacher who was suspended by the Pine Valley school board after he came out in class. Connie Passalacqua spoke with co-head writer Lorraine Broderick about the storyline for a Feb. 26, 1996 Newsday."I don't think soaps have ever done a story of a gay man who is healthy and well- adjusted, a great role model and an outstanding member of the community," Broderick said. " In the past [on soaps] whenever anyone's done a story with a gay adult male, there's always been a feeling that it's about AIDS."
