Kathy Griffin Plays a Lesbian

This post from Bitch Media makes the important point that it's not enough just to count the number of portrayals marginalized groups are given in popular culture to assess whether they are getting a fair shake. We also have to look at the context and narrative to understand how those groups are truly represented in the culture. Not having seen the episode, I can't speak to this particular critique -- but I will say that Griffin's response to the inevitable "what was it like to kiss a girl" question actually seems quite measured to my ear.
