‘Grey’s’ Banishes Its Lesbian to The Parking Lot of No Return

Grey’s Anatomy finally entered the final phase of its gaywashing yesterday, disposing of Brooke Smith’s Dr. Hahn in a scene as muddled and incoherent as Smith’s actual firing.

Hahn and her on-screen love interest, Sara Ramirez’s Callie, had only one scene where they discussed their same-sex leanings, and it came near the end of the show. The exchange started in classic Grey’s “This hospital issue is really about our relationship!”-speak before devolving into…well, we don’t know exactly. It appears that Hahn gets mad at the somewhat reluctant Callie and says, “You can’t kind of be a lesbian,” which is awfully tough talk for a character who just realised she was a lesbian in the last episode. “I don’t know you at all,” Hahn continues, before storming off into the parking lot (where she is presumably flown back to her home planet on a rocket ship booby-trapped by worried ABC executives).
