My name is Amanda, and I am an eighteen year old college student at Framingham State College in Framingham, MA studying to be a high school English teacher. I love horses/horseback riding (eleven years, baby!!!), writing, reading, and messing around on the computer. I'm a HUGE Addison fan and miss her HORRIBLY on Grey's!! My other favorite is Bailey - she's such an ass kicker and I find it totally adorable. Grey's = Life <3

  Quick question: does anyone have the little speech that Miranda gave to Erica after the surgery? I'd love you forever and ever :D

  Happy watching,

  Then maybe you should've clarified in your post. Everything in your original post pointed straight at a clear distaste towards the LGBT community, which I obviously did not take kindly too. I'm sorry if you felt diminished, but not everything is communicated clearly through writing. As I said, everything in your post pointed towards a very negative attitude towards the community in general.

  I, too, feel the same way about the way they have suddenly decided to over-sex Grey's. That I can agree with on both the homosexual and heterosexual accounts.

  It's not just Grey's they're erasing the gay stuff from. They've fired a woman who played a transgendered character on Ugly Betty as well. It's highly unfortunate, and pairing that with the recent bans on marriage in California, Arizona, and Florida (plus the ban on gay adoption in Arkansas)...this country has come so very far, but it seems we still have a long way to go. I could understand (and would actually like) if they toned it down a little on BOTH the homosexual and heterosexual end, but eliminating it completely was ridiculous and is going to cause a lot more problems then ABC anticipates. I'm still in shock, mainly because I was JUST starting to be okay with Hahn's presence on the show (I, um, kind of...hated her, for lack of a better word).And the way ABC is cutting her from the show is just awful. They're going to recieve a lot of negative feedback for this, in my opinion. They did not handle this well. I won't even begin to get started on the whole issue with Melissa George's character being de-bisexualized (ah, my English major brain is screaming at myself for making up a word...). Sigh.

  Happy watching,

  Seriously, modiner? Seriously? Do you know how hypocritical that is?

  So, you're okay with watching straight people kiss/have sex on screen? Because that's exactly what you're implying in your post. You say you don't care about sexual orientation, but your post points towards clear homophobia. If straight people get their airtime, us gay kids should certainly get some airtime as well. One in ten people are in the LGBT community. We don't bite, we're not contagious, and it's biological. If you don't like it, don't watch. But don't smash it into the dirt, either, because that's life. Gay people are everywhere. Describing it the way you have ('digusting' and 'BLAH') is demeaning and hurtful.

  I think it's downright awesome that same-sex couples are finally becoming more normal on primetime television. Do I condone the constant sex scenes? No. But I'm not singling out one orientation or the other - I think the sex from both the homosexual AND heterosexual couples should be toned down some.
