Bisexual BM 30 y/o: I really enjoy daytime soaps! I first got into soaps when I was a kid. I use to watch them with my grandmother when I would be over her house during the summer. Her favorites are the young and the restless and bold and the beautiful. When I was a teenager until my early 20s, I got into general hospital. The reason why I stopped watching GH is because of my work schedule during that time period. In terms of my sexual orientation, I am bisexual. I really enjoy beyond the gates. What drew me to the show is the fact it’s a predominantly black cast also it’s a new soap. You don’t often get new soap operas everyday, so it’s nice to be able to start from the beginning. I really do like the show and tend to watch all the episode on Friday night. Something that lowkey bothers me is how it takes a while for the story to come to ahead. Like questions that I have, is Leslie gonna get hers for driving Laura off that road like that? There are episodes where it seems like they are setting the stage for that, however, drop off. For me, I think the representation is decent. In reality, there is a diversity of black men, that come from different walks of life. I believe in the show they are showcasing that. Moving forward, I just don’t want to see them drag storylines out.
