Hi everyone,
Today I am going to share something that particularly caught my eye in Grey's Anatomy's 13th episode.
The complicity between Cali and Arizona is just striking! For those who do not watch the show, Cali and Arizona are partners (a lesbian couple).
At the beginning of the episode, when they get to the meeting they are arguing because of their daughter Sofia. The way the argue leads to think that they are really close to one another, and share an amazing complicity. I think that complicity between those two partners challenges the heterosexual order or sexuality status quo. It portrays a positive image of homosexual; it depicts homosexual couples as 'normal' heterosexual couples that argue and share many things.
What are your thoughts on representations of homosexual couples in TV series? If you watched he show, do you think my analysis is accurate?
Here is a link to watch the episode

Usually TV shows make a meliorative painting of homosexual couples in an attempt to improve the image people have of them but also to decrease the prejudices they face in today's society. In this specific case it is true that Cali and Arizona share a great chemistry.
