When I started watching The Fosters, hell when I first heard the concept behind The Fosters, I hoped so hard that it would be good. I hoped so hard for a show that was full of heart and love. A show about parents, who are lesbians. Parents who struggle with things like how to discipline kids, and how to integrate exes, and how to navigate the world when it involves the care of tiny humans who need you, and how to do things like find time to tend to your relationship and have sex when everything revolves around those tiny humans. Also I wanted to show to hand me the moon because why not ask as long as I am asking for every other damn thing under the sun. This show has delivered. It has exceeded every expectation I had and if I can judge from your tweets this week, it exceeded many of yours too. Here are a few of the our favorites from this week.
I’m having LesbianCharacterInMortalDanger anxiety. Is there a better name? There must be a better name for this by now. #gaydybunch

Stef’ll be okay. Stef’ll be okay. So what if she’s wearing the same color shirt Tara was? Joss Whedon DOES NOT WRITE THIS SHOW. #GaydyBunch

#GaydyBunch is the only place I can say “Jesus you’re a dumbfuck” and not get stoned to death. Thank you Jennifer Lopez. #weirdesttweetever

Stef’s father is in Out of Town while his daughter is getting shot in the chest. Probably #TheFosters live very near Rosewood. #GaydyBunch

Anyone remember that time in the pilot when Mike said he asked to be Stef’s partner so he could protect her? Yeah. #GaydyBunch #TheFosters

You would think that after watching PLL so much, a possible death wouldn’t effect me so much. #GaydyBunch

“Are we waiting for your husband to join?” “Actually. Looking at you makes me think my ‘husband’ might be a moot point forever.” #GaydyBunch

This is a groundbreaking show for many reasons but the number one being that they did NOT kill the lesbian. Only shot her. #GaydyBunch
