Nope click here, afraid you’re not reading that right, they are two separate statements.
She is bisexual and she is fab
Apologies if my grammer is not A1

I point out that she is bi for the soul purpose of defending my statement that Arizona is the only lesbian on “prime time”, not to undermine the fact that Callie’s sexuality being out on TV is wonderful.
Afterall, it is Callie’s character that is at the heart of this entire story and it is her journey that we viewers are emotionally invested in

@ Gooner – “I hear ye Liv but Callie is bisexual and I know that’s a thin line, she’s still fab and I have to say she’s high on my list”

Wait, what?

“But” she’s a bisexual and “she’s still fab” – am I reading that right?

Sharon: Seems like Callie and Arizona are going to come into it more in season 6 which is brill, they have been to much on the fringes for my liking so far

I’m not over “Callica” either TheSciFiBard, Arizona doesn’t have a patch on Erica, no question about it!!! I have Callica on my YouTube channel Love them

Tn Jane: I can’t believe what you just posted about that couple in Louisana!!! That is truly shocking to read

The more we see of anything, the more it’s accepted. Does ‘not to long ago, blacks and whites couldn’t marry’ sound like a long time ago? We are still there with interracial marriage and lesbian visibility. Too many people fought for our individual rights for us to let them go away. Today, Oct. 15, 2009 in Louisana, a judge refused to allow a black and white hetersexual couple to marry. Some states would like to hang homosexuals. We must stand for our individual freedoms. Crystal Chappell is doing just that by creating Venice when she was told by so many sources that the Otalia story must end with GL. Guess she is showing ‘many sources’. Love the Venice people for standing tall.

Gooner – I totally agree with you. The visibility should be a priority and I hope that Crystal Chappell’s Venice will indeed cause the turn of heads with the networks. I am also hoping that Grey’s will involve Callie and Arizona in a little more interaction. Tonight’s episode had Callie’s father showing up with a Priest to “de-gay” his daughter and there was a very strong exchange between she and her dad. I thought it was very dramatic and very positive. Arizona also had a conversation with her dad that was brilliant. I like that kind of interchange with strong lesbian women taking their stand. Callie may be bisexual or she may have just been looking for love in all the wrong places. Let’s let this relationship move forward in primetime.

This comment contains a spoiler for Season 6 episode 5 of Grey’s anatomy – be warned

Greys jumped the shark (and my fist!) when they fired Brooke Smith as Erica Hahn. GOD that woman could act! And who do we get to replace her? A thinner, younger version of her. Blech. No thanks…
