We wonder if the GLAAD Awards have a "No Take-Backs" rule because we're sure they're side-eyeing Days Of Our Lives right now!
The soap had been giving us life over the past year with their beautifully crafted story following Will Horton's coming-out process.
Now the show's newly hired writers, Gary Tomlin and Chris Whitesell, are turning the whole story on its head and having Will have sex with a girl. Classy.
More after the jump. FULL STORY

We've been pretty vocal fans of Days Of Our Lives' treatment of Will Horton's coming out storyline. (And we still maintain that daytime television, with its daily episodic format, offers a unique opportunity to delve into the intricacies of this type of subject matter, so stop cancelling our soaps!)
We were totally thrilled to see Will's portrayer, Chandler Massey, walk away with the Emmy for Outstanding Younger Actor in a Drama Series for his work!
This is the first time an actor has won a Daytime Emmy for playing a gay character. Watch his Emmy win after the jump! FULL STORY

We have to say, Days Of Our Lives is giving us EVERYTHING right now with Will’s coming out storyline!
And interestingly, it’s his interaction with his grandmothers that we’re enjoying most.
He’s got his paternal grandmother, Kate, the sassy and let’s say it—bitchy—fashionista businesswoman, who’s basically saying, “You’re gay. I know it. I’ve always known it, now let’s get fabulous!”
Then he’s got Marlena, mother to Will’s mom (the devious Sami—yes she may have “reformed” but Sami Brady will always be a bad girl at heart), who’s all gentle goodness, light, and understanding. It doesn’t hurt that she’s a psychiatrist.
Both women are tackling Will’s sexuality issues in different ways, but... FULL STORY

Days Of Our Lives has finally caught up with the new millennium and aired its first gay kiss on Thursday's episode. Better late than never, right?

Follow the jump for a picture of the first same-sex smooch to grace Days of our Lives!
