*One of Shonda Rhimes’ Twitter followers complaining that her shows “Scandal” and “How to Get Away With Murder” have too much gratuitous gay sex.
Well, the follower got several personal responses from the television producer, who took time away from her busy writing schedule to “fight 4 my friends and their love and the equality of all.”
. @Dabdelhakiem There are no GAY scenes. There are scenes with people in them.

Ok, tweeps. Someone got me all riled up and fighting 4 my friends and their love and the equality of all — I am supposed to be WRITING.

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!
