Gay-Cap: 'Grey's Anatomy' - Callie's Road To Recovery

While much of the western world has been embroiled in the royal nuptias of Prince William and Kate Middleton, we at SheWired have Calzona on the brain now that Callie is on the mend. The last time we encountered TV's most adorable lesbian doc couple Callie and Arizona, Callie (Sara Ramirez) was singing for her life in the Grey's Anatomy Musical Event episode. Callie's long road back opens with a shot of baby Sofia Robbin Sloane Torres - I'm not sure I like Mark's name sandwiched between Arizona's (Jessica Capshaw) and Callie's as he's sandwiched himself between everything else, but... -- in the NICU at one week old and at 1 pound and one ounce.

Gay-Cap: 'Grey's Anatomy' - Three Opinionated Parents and a Fetus, SPOILERS

While last week Grey's Anatomy offered little in the way of a gay storyline via network television’s most eat-em-with-a-spoon-their-so-cute lesbian couple of docs, Callie (Sara Ramirez) and Arizona (Jessica Capshaw), who are in a three-way baby raising relationship with  narcissist and lothario Mark (Eric Dane), last night’ episode had the trio careening toward the side of a cliff as far as managing three opinionated people and a fetus. Earlier in the episode, Mark’s supposed true love Lexie (Chyler Leigh) -- although who can really tell since he banged Callie when he was supposed to be in love with her – finally hooked up with handsome Avery (Jesse Williams), who is smitten with her. If the relationship between Lexie and Avery pans out then Mark has no shot at getting back with Lexie.

Charlene Strong Rises like a Phoenix from the Ashes to Change the Heart of a Nation with �For My Wife�

She is not a victim. Don’t call her one and don’t even think about it to yourself as you’re sitting in a quiet room. She is a wife, partner, friend, co-worker, gay rights activist, wine-lover, and humble spirit. Charlene Strong, age 47, also happens to be a lesbian. Her very private and devastating story made national headline news in 2006 when a flash flood plummeted into Seattle, Washington’s Madison Valley. The effects of the storm killed her wife of nine years, Kate Fleming. In an instant, Strong was thrust into the media spotlight as an activist and film subject depicted in the monumental award-winning Trick Dog Films documentary For My Wife.
