Predictable:
So I'm watching ER right now, and Carrie's partner Sandy just got wheeled in to the ER with burns and other injuries. To give a bit of backstory to those who don't watch it, Carrie used to be an ER doctor and is now head of something or other at the hospital, and Sandy is her lesbian partner. They have a baby, and Sandy is the biological mother. Sandy's mother thinks they are gross nasty perverts. Sandy's mother is currently babysitting while all of this is going on.
I can tell you right now what is going to happen. Sandy is going to die, Carrie will want to keep her child, and Sandy's mom is going to fight for custody because she thinks Carrie is a dirty lesbo perv. While I know that this will bring the plight of same-sex parents to the masses, it's still just suuuch a fucking predictable plotline. Plus, I was totally rooting for one of the only visible lesbian couples on prime time television. Their first kiss ruled, and dear fucking Christ, I hope I'm wrong and this won't be their last.
Update: Yep, she died. Let's watch the custody battle ensue! (Which, of course, will cause me to get all political and fiery.)
Update #2: And of course the family won't let Carrie even fucking see the baby. I hope this crap makes people who think that same-sex marriages and same-sex parents are immoral see the freaking light, already. However, I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt even though they continually give me reason not to.
