People who are commenting on this relationship not being real, genuine, or coming out of the blue; have you not being watching the past several episodes?!? The insinuations have been so blatant, Erica eyeing Callie and Callie seeking out Mark to prove to herself that she doesn't have feelings for Erica. Even Mark sees Callie's affections.
As for the people who 'boohooing' over Callie being gay, and having been with all these men and (gasp) not being able to get married. Haven't you ever heard of a bi-sexual? We are out there and don't exist in shows just like a Shot of Love. Its about damn time the GLBTQ community started showing up in mainstream media. Thank you to Shonda Rhimes, other writers on shows like Boston Legal, Ugly Betty, and all of the ABC network for showing America its true colors!
I'm also happy for Meredith and Derek getting back together. Its great for mental health that Meredith went to counseling, but the ending with her being 'healed/whole' is somewhat glo

I just don´t see it. It´s just like the whole Izzie-George thing. It came out of nowhere. I mean, it never crossed my mind that Callie could be gay. I just thought that obviously George wasn´t the right guy. Being a pushover and all that. But Callie? Definetly not gay. She is perfect for Mark.
In Erica´s case, it could work, basically because there isn´t a male character for her on the show right now.
I don´t buy it, at least not yet. It just seems so out of the blue.

Personally, I think their relationship together is great. Since George and Izzie flopped for the stupidest reasons, it's kinda nice to see another couple that's different and not MerDer. No offense to MerDer fanatics, but it's nice to see someone else for a change.

I am so sorry that we could not have just one great show without forcing a "gay" experience. I am afraid you have lost a very loyal viewer.

I totally think this is a perfect couple. You can almost see the sparks flying between them in surgery. Han and McSteamy wouldn't have worked, Han is waaaayyy to good for him. This is an amazing couple, I hope they work out well.

I truly believe that the people that do not find the relationship between Callie and Erica genuine, have never experienced what the storyline is trying to tell us. There are many lesbians that have been married, but woke up one day realizing that they've been wrong about themselves. Personally, I love that Shonda wanted to try something new and give viewers versatility, if not, it would get pretty damn boring.

I'm not a fan of the Callie/Erica relationship. It just seems forced and not genuine. It isn't believable to me that Callie, a woman who has clearly been interested in men throughout the show, is now suddenly interested in a woman. I think this relationship will be a flop, kind of like George & Izzie. The chemistry just isn't there. I have no interest whatsoever in seeing where this relationship goes.
