Shonda Rhimes puts anti-gay tweeter in their place: “U are not only LATE to the party but also NOT INVITED to the party”
Snapped this photo of Shonda Rhimes 4-5 years ago at a GLAAD event and remember having such a nice chat with her about some of the gay things going on on Grey’s Anatomy.
At that time, it was pretty much all about the lesbian storyline of Callie and Arizona.
That was then.
Flash-forward to now and Rhimes has a newer show on ABC called How to Get Away With Murder that has featured fairly explicit gay sex scenes in each of its episodes.
At least one viewer of the show and of Rhimes’ other hit, Scandal, does not like these same-sex scenes and tweeted to Rhimes: ‘@shondarhimes the gay scenes in scandal and how to get away with murder are too much. There is no point and they add nothing to the plot.’
Rhimes was not having it. She quickly tweeted back: ‘There are no GAY scenes. There are scenes with people in them.’
She then added: ‘@Dabdelhakiem If u use the phrase “gay scenes”, u are not only LATE to the party but also NOT INVITED to the party. Bye Felicia. #oneLOVE’
Well done Shonda!

While I’m not enamored with “How To Get Away with Murder”, I love “Scandal” and the gay scene/storyline/character in that show. Wish you’d post those.
