Grey's Anatomy has had s fair share of LGBTQ reprentatn over the urse of s 14-year n, but Season 15 will troduce Grey Sloan Memorial's first ever gay male surgeon!

Nohels, I believe that Grey’s Anatomy still mak a satisfyg effort characterizg the aspects of the LGBTQI muny do portray such as the pictn of homosexualy and transsexualy, regardls of beg an overall heteronormative show.

Homosexualy is first illtrated the drama as a rult of the troductn of Joe the Bartenr to the show on season two, episo one, Radrops Keep Fallg on my head.
