Shonda Rhimes Shuts Down Complaint About 'Gay Scenes' In Her Shows: 'You Are Late'

Published 11 years ago

Over the weekend, a disgruntled fan tweeted Shonda Rhimes and complained that the “gay scenes” in Scandal and How to Get Away with Murder were “too much.”

Shonda, who executive produces both shows, took to Twitter and shut the complainer right on up.

. @Dabdelhakiem There are no GAY scenes. There are scenes with people in them.

@Dabdelhakiem If you are suddenly discovering that Shondaland shows have scenes involving people who are gay, you are LATE TO THE PARTY.

I love all you Tweeples. Even the ones who still need to grow. And remember that at some point, someone discriminated against you too.

I don't know why this kind of hate is out there. Ugh. #onelove. At least in Shondaland. Have a great rest of your weekend!
