I am offended by this firing and don't understand why this actor had to suffer for what the writer's, director's and producer's decided was to be her storyline. I personally loved the sensitive way they were handling Erica and Callie falling in love. And I am a happily married 53 year old heterosexual. I'm done with the show and I let abc know that.
