Melissa Brennan Reeves against Gay Marriage?

I want to tell you about a regrettable and distressing story whose protagonist is Melissa Brennan Reeves (Jade Perkins on SANTA BARBARA 1984-85). Unfortunately this is not a soap plot. Unfortunately this is the reality. Here are the facts: in late July, Mike Huckabee, former Governor of the State of Arkansas and current Fox News reporter, has appealed to the 1st August the Americans would go to have a meal at one of the fast food chain “Chick-fil-A” so to defend the company's activities in favor of associations that oppose the adoption of laws to recognize civil unions between persons of the same sex. The actress Melissa Reeves wanted to support the controversial initiative via Twitter with the message "Chick-fil-A today!! Loved every bite of it ;)! Land of the free and home of the brave.” Greg Rikaart, who plays Kevin Fisher on "The Young & The Restless”, has decided to respond to Reeves with another tweet in which he expressed his “disappointment with the support of a society that promotes hatred and bigotry” .

Then Melissa Reeves locked the actor. At this point, Crystal Chappell (ex Jane Kingsely on SANTA BARBARA, now Danielle on “The Bold & the Beautiful”), tried to help the indefensible Reeves explaining that Melissa is destroyed by the pain of being misunderstood and that his only goal was to exercise the right speech. Meanwhile, Reeves has decided to close her Twitter account.

Dear Melissa Brennan Reeves, I really believe that you have to think, please. You have to consider that a large portion of your audience is made up of gay people. You have to consider that for you it is not convenient to boycott our right to get married because if we get married, we could become a family which perhaps could adopt children, who could live surrounded by true love, where parents could look at your soap work. You have to consider that the children will grow up and maybe they'll continue to watch DAYS and so you could work until 250 years old. Think about it. It is sad not to be able to think in terms of tolerance. I tried to express myself with concepts that I believe may be familiar to you. Finally, dear Ms. Reeves, if you are free to marry who you love, I really do not understand why I can not do the same. Instead of closing your twitter account, maybe you'd do better to explain your reasons. You are no longer the young and inexperienced Jade Perkins, who perhaps now would smile reading your tweets.  Think about that every time you bite your hamburger, please.
