The long running soap opera Days of Our Lives has been a groundbreaker in terms of LGBTQ+ visibility. For several years the show highlighted the complicated love story of Sonny and Will, a famous gay super-couple. The characters were written out of the series in 2020 but have since returned to the fictional town of Salem. More recently Days explored the love between longtime character Dr. Craig Wesley and lgbtq+ con artist Leo Stark, which culminated in a disastrous wedding in which Leo was revealed to already be married to a drag queen. Now, Days is breaking ground in a new way by presenting the story of Allie Horton (Lindsay Arnold), who might be the first bisexual traits in soapland.
Allie was all set to marry longtime boyfriend/girlfriend Tripp (Lucas Adams), who was oblivious of the proof that Allie had recently slept with her female optimal friend Chanel (Raven Bowens). When he found out, an enraged Tripp broke off thei
All the gay characters
Paul is John’s son with a woman named Tori Naurita, and Sonny and Will’s ex-boyfriend. He was brought in to be Wilson foil, and despite organism a great character, never really got a soul mate of his own. He first came in as a pro baseball player who had an affair with Will. Turns out, he was also Sonny’s ex. Will and Sonny separated, then Will was “killed” and Sonny and Paul got together. When Will was revealed to be alive, Sonny dumped Paul. However, it turned out this Will had amnesia and didn’t remember Sonny, so Will and Paul got together. Once Will got his memories back, he also dumped Paul and went back to Sonny. Paul, still being a great guy and character, took a bullet for Will (I think… don’t completely remember) and was paralyzed. He eventually left Salem to seek specialized physical therapy. I would love to see Paul come back because Dr. Wesley is well versed in some new treatment that could help him. Maybe something could happen with them.

Sonny And Leo
Sonny and Leo had to be one of the most catastrophic couples on Days of Our Lives for the way Leo wormed his way into Sonny's life just to frame him for sexual harassment, resulting in Sonny unintentionally "killing" Leo and enlisting Will to help him cover it up.
As disastrous as they were, the couple started with charming flirtations that linger to this diurnal and are one-sided by Leo, who would always be up for a fling despite Sonny knocking him unconscious and rolling his presumably dead body i

I had to deal with a lot of self-loathing.” Now a TV producer, Johnson has been married since 2008 to club promoter Michelle Agnew, with whom she has two childre
