Grey’s Anatomy Nominated for GLAAD’s Outstanding Drama Award

Calzona has long been one of our favorite on-screen romances. And now, Grey’s Anatomy is being honored with a GLAAD nomination for Outstanding Drama Series, presumably thanks to Grey’s fantastic handling of a successful on-screen lesbian marriage.

We’ll never forget the wedding between Callie (Sara Ramirez) and Arizona (Jessica Capshaw), with both brides wearing gorgeous white dresses. The whole episode seemed incredibly progressive and current.

As is the couple’s relationship with Mark (Eric Dane), Sofia’s baby daddy. Instead of an awkward rendition of Three’s Company, the show got a few threesome jokes out of the way early, and now the focus is on making things work. Which they (almost) do.

We’ll be cheering for you, Grey’s!
