She could have axed the story line just because it was not well written, or didn't seem to fit the characters.
Also, she could have held the belief that the shows audience wouldn't accept the story line; which doesn't mean she found it offensive. I think Ms. Wyman was a complete professional, and would have put her own beliefs to the side if it meant putting eh show in jeopardy. -

I didn't watch show (working, etc) but do want to someday. Jane Wyman is one of the reasons.
Anyways, the reason I'm posting is I find information about a lesbian storyline involving Meredith Baxter (Birnie -at the time) due to her coming out journy as a lesbian.
Somewhere, I've heard that Wyman was into women as well as men. Anyone else? -

I don't think she was homophobic, she was good friends with Michael Feinstein and his partner 1908Terrence. They would frequently visit her when they were in the Rancho Mirage area Michael would play the piano for her, and she would accompany him as she was very gifted singer.

Is it really fair to call a person born in 1914 and raised Roman Catholic 'Homophobic' ? If you think about it, for most of her entire life, Homosexuality was both illegal (due to Sodomy Laws), Immoral (Catholic Church) and considered a sick perversion (The American Psychiatric Association would not de-list Homosexuality as a mental illness until 1973when she was 59 years old!). I am sure that from her perspective, lesbians were some group of crew cut & combat boot wearing women that frequented degenerate private parties in Hollywoodnot something the 'upper crust' in Napa Valley would tolerate.

'Is it really fair to call a person born in 1914 and raised Roman Catholic 'Homophobic'?"
good point
A good point, to point out how 'conditioning', ignorance and brainwashing by these churches and similar institutions, teaches a person to have the attitudes and behaviors they do. It is not all innate.
If a male 'gay' couple raise a son from an infant, with love, care and compassion and the child turns out 'straight', I wonder how 'homophobic' the child would turn out to be as an adult? -

I also want to point out how inappropriate it is to call someone brainwashed and ignorant just for embracing the religious values of Catholicism.
If you're going to be express an open-minded and tolerant view of today's society, you can't be hypocritical. -

Nope. But these loonies are not interested in "fairness," they're only interested in using pressure-group warfare on the individual, through the fraud of "democracy," to get more for their group and less for other groups. It's all bogus "group rights" violating the individual's free-choice, freedom of association (originally the 4th amendment; now does not exist anymore in any country of the world)and free-speech rights, not to mention the 2nd amendment rights of firearm ownership that protect those basic rights from runaway government mafias. SJW's and their ilk who use the smear terms "homophobic" and "racist" against anyone who disagrees with them, no matter what truth is contained in their argb68uments, are commie/Marxists through and through and don't give one rat's behind about the U.S. constitution or the individual rights it was meant to protect, the rights of the smallest minority of human, which when protected, protect all in their basic humanity (equality BEFORE the law) but NEVER in "equality of results," an absurd impossibility.
