was soll ich sagen? da war ich vor ein paar Wochen noch ganz aus dem Häuschen - und jetzt kann ich meinen Ärger und meine Enttäuschung kaum in Worte fassen.
Der schon gepostete AfterEllen-Artikel trifft ins Schwarze - und auch der AfterEllen-Recap der letzten Folge:

Zitat:
You know, every once in a while I ask myself if I don’t take all this too seriously, if it isn’t, at the end of the day, just TV. After all, LGBT people the world over face persecution, discrimination, and death. Would my time and emotional energy not be better spent worrying about those problems and not the death of imaginary lesbians? But then I remember something: that the greatest export of the western world is culture. Our shows and movies reach people and places that I will never go, and talk to people whose languages I will never speak. Stories like this one find people in their secret hearts and whisper to them that there is hope.
There is hope that you can find love and acceptance and a piece of happiness. These stories don’t just find gays, they find the parents and siblings and friends of gays, who can learn to love a character and then take that love with them out into the real, actual world. That’s the magic of stories; they are lights in the world. Kate Mackenzie was a light. The love she shared with Caroline, as older women, as an interracial couple, but above all, as people whose love felt real and true and vital, was a light. For reasons I cannot understand, for reasons I do not want to understand, that crucial beam of hope has been extinguished. And that’s a tragedy. But I have to believe it’s changing. I have to believe that smart and kind and funny people out there, even at this moment, are lighting candles faster than the Sally Wainwrights of this world can blow them out.
