Shonda Rhimes Confirms Lesbian Relationship on "Grey's Anatomy"

It's alot of questioning if the women are going to be lesbian or bi-sexual...that's confuses me:

Callie has dated men her whole life, correct?

and remember when Erica finally told Mark why she couldn't date him, "You wanna know the truth? Your pretty, too pretty. So pretty that if we didn't work together yeah we probably would...(suggestive face)...but we do work together". 

So I'm SUPER excited for next season but I just think that both characters are- or unless further explanation is made- can only be bi....not that it matters cause it will still be a lesbian storyline:-)

P.S. When forced to use labels I do not identify as Bi, I'm Gay...so if I just don't understand what it means to be bi, correct me on all this

I'm so freakin' excited about the new season and this storyline!!!  Aside from the fact that Sara Ramirez is HOTTER than HOT, I am just glad they are willing to develop this story and went about it in a very intentional and conscientious way.  

Woo!   

Ooopsy! 

I just have to say thank you for not throwing us another pregnant lesbian...ahem, cashmere mafia...and then just ditching the whole thing altogether.

Loving the anticipation...

thanks for the great news, I can't wait to see season 5!! so all the good things we were hoping for are going to be dealt with - including another appearance by callie's dad!! I'm sooo happy that shonda takes this seriously and wants to do something great with this, because honestly, I think we all need some GOOD lesbian entertainment on tv!! I can't wait!!

I've always enjoyed Grey's but something was off for a little while.  I'm not saying that the Callie and Erica storyline saved the show for me, but it certainly brought new life to it.  I have a surge of excitement to watch the show and am highly anticipating the next season.  Callie and Addison have long been my favorite characters on the show, even though Addison is gone now.  They both brought life and energy to otherwise pretty self centered characters- which I do adore don't get me wrong.  But once I saw Sara as Callie in the second season, I was hooked and I remember telling my wife "I'm gonna like her".  To add to her awesome personality, she is drop dead sexy.

I am greatful for Shanda and the writers for taking it seriously but still have the ability to have fun with Callie and Erica.  They were well prepared and actually took the time to contact GLAAD and ask for guidance on the storyline.  I can bet my crappy salary not all shows that introduce a gay/lesbian/bisexual storyline do that.  I'm also happy ot hear that they will continue their relationship and explore Erica's feelings/side of their relationship. 

Damn, thanks again AE for keeping us up to date.  Sounds corny but coverage like you all provide does help a bit I think.  Hopefully we'll see more well rounded series and storylines like we're seeing with Callie and Erica.

Very excited to see how their relationship develops!

I've enjoyed watching what Shonda has created.  Reading this article actually gave me reason to hope that there will be a positive bi/lesbian storyline on prime time tv.  I was pondering giving up on Grey's after all the whining from Meredith and Katherine crap, now I have something to look forward to.

New super couple on the block.  Send McDreamy and Meredith to the corner and let the girls have the spotlight.

Any road is a good road when you don't know where you're going.

I heart this show and almost all of the characters, so for me this storyline is a nice icing on the cake.

Very relieved to hear there won't be any pregnancies just yet.

I blog, therefore, I am

i'm so goddamn excited!! And.

I'm SO glad that they said 'no immediate pregnancies' FOR SURE, cuz I was SO SCARED that after Sloane was all "I'd make a terrible dad' and then he and Torres started gettin it that she'd return next season all knocked up and shit. Ugh I'd be really disappointed. (Not saying they couldn't stil carry out a lesbian storyline, but. Still.) So yeah I'm all excited, and i'm also excited to see Hahn's POV since she's so guarded.

TIME TO SPECULATE!! (somehow I feel i'm way more crunk about this than everyone else... yeah i said 'crunk'.)

I think Hahn's always been gay, because of a look she did in a scene that I won't go on about for fear of being called a geek, and Callie is about to learn all about the fluidity of sexuality. Delicious.

I got a dick like a mule...with a big dick.

Reading this article was the highlight of my day today. I had to read it a few times. I am so excited. I can not wait for season 5 to start. I just started watching this show towards the end of season 4. I am a big Callica fan. Knowing that this couple will get the same chance as all the other ones on the show really makes me happy.

P.S. I luv Shonda Rhimes. She is now my new favorite person.

Sara isn't neccessarily a Spanish/Latina name per se like "Carmen" for instance. So as a full blooded latina myself, I pronounce it the Anglo way. But If you do pronounce it in Spanish it's "Sa- rra" with a slight rolling r sound. In fact in a PSA I've heard Sara herself pronounce it that way. I'm guessing that's  the way she heard it said by family members as she was growing up. And probably does so in an effort to emphasize the respect she has for her culture.

American born and raised latinas will almost always pronounce their names the Anglo way. I don't know too many Marias or  Annas that say their names the traditional way unless they are in a spanish speaking environment. If your last name is Rodriguez, you will more than likely say "ROD" riguez rather than 'RRRod riguez.  Or RA mirez instead of RRRa mirez. At least that's my experience here in the Northeast.

My name isn't particularly spanish...in fact it's origins are French. When I'm asked my name in a professional capacity, I give it the anglo treatment. But if I'm at the local laundromat I'll say it the Spanish way.

"women who decide late in life that they're lesbians"

Well that pretty much kills my hope that they might let Callie actually be bi.  Heaven forbid a woman be with a woman without invalidating all previous relationships with men.  UGH.

Im so stoked for this new season... I absolutely love the two of them

"The only real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes." ~Marcel Proust

her name is sara, pronounced sara.  where did you get the idea that r's are pronounced like d's?  i have spoken bilingually for years, both spanish/english and the only d sound is the letter d itself.  there is r which is said r and rr that you need to trill, but it's still r. 

when someone who speaks spanish tries to pronounce words in english the letter sounds are a bit different, which is why you may have thought it was a d sound.  it's an r.

ps:  brooke smith is smoking hot.

...and since I'm not a regular watcher, I don't know each character. But, what I did hear was a scene between the two women in which one woman states that she had always been with men, and that it seemed good and fine, but now has a totally different perspective.

She recalls being told she needed glasses as a child, thinking she could see perfectly fine, and upon getting those glasses, had a whole new world opened up to her.

I won't try to get the dialogue verbatim, but you will enjoy the emotion with which it is delivered.

And the fine line widens.....
