All My Children is a popular American soap opera that airs on the ABC Network. The opening title sequence shows a family photo album and features a symbolic poem which reads: "The Great and the Least, The Rich and the Poor, The Weak and the Strong, In Sickness and in Health, In Joy and Sorrow, In Tragedy and Triumph, You are ALL MY CHILDREN."

Gossip blogger Perez Hilton reported on February 6, 2009 that All My Children will air daytime television's first gay marriage on February 13 and February 16, 2009. The marriage between Eden Riegel's character "Bianca Montgomery" and Tamara Braun's character "Reese Williams" promises true-to-life affection according to Riegel who told Perez Hilton, "There’s no holding back in the physical realm. We’ve never been told to hold back. ABC is allowing us to trust our instincts."Perez Hilton: Daytime's First Gay Wedding... (February 6, 2009)
