Lucifer Morningstar hmm thats interesting. Ya see, I’m straight, so I’ve actually NEVER been “tempted”. And I’m pretty sure I’m not alone. It takes a certain kind of person to be “tempted” to be gay.
I’m a straight female but I must say the “Calzona” scenes were some of the best love scenes on the show. I need you two back! My heart can’t take it. 😭😭😭😭
So Callie Torres is 100% the story behind Sara, that's why the character development was so nice, she was evolving great, one of the lovable character to have
I have a similar haircut and I'm straight and married. My husband loves my hair because he loves me and the haircut works with my face and personality. Haters gonna hate. No one says shit when a man grows his hair out.
Yes, they do, if the haircut doesn't fit this particular man ;-) I see your haircut fits you (from your pic) but many people saw that this haircut doesn't fit her, it's just their personal opinion. It does have nothing to do with her gender or sexual orientation, just people's opinions to which they are entitled to.
@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849 Where the fuck did people start feeling so powerful and important that they think it's okay to tell people what "fits" them and doesn't? People don't have to and SHOULD NOT only do things because it "fits them", they should wear/look/act however the fuck they want.
If the haircut doesn't "fit". She's not trying to fit a toddler shoe on a size 16 NBA foot. It has everything to do with her appearance, gender, and sexual orientation. Sure it's an opinion people may have. But let's not pretend we don't know where those opinions stem from. Short of people being actual hairstylists with an exceptional eye to detail and noticing the hair cut is off, it's about their opinion of how she should appear. F☆☆K THAT!
I never liked her as an actress. I really dislike her on madame secretary. Her hair is obnoxiously ugly. And I find it weird to mix masculine and feminine traits. Like why have a very boyish haircut ( even weird for a boy actually) and still have the feminine neat finely plucked eye brows. I’m sorry but I have a hard time understanding and accepting gays and trans. I just don’t get it and when I see it I wish i hadn’t seen it. I don’t want to see it! Be gay just don’t tell me about it. I’m not talking about my private stuff. Be trans, just don’t tell me about it. It’s in our faces all over the media all the time and they do it in an obnoxious way purposely bring attention to theirself. I’d accept it better if they just went about it discretely like most people do about their private lives. I know they don’t all do it. And yes the media also has heterosexually in our face...I don’t like that either. Ok, go, backlash at me
@@aslmad1 okay i'm not going to attack you or anything, I just want to explain, like, how can something that doesn't affect you in ANY way bothers you? if a person is gay or trans and choose to show it and talk about it, how does it affect you? They have no reason to be ashamed, just like you they are human being, just like you they fall in love, the only difference is that the people they fall in love with happen to be the same sex as them, just because they're diffrent than you doesn't mean it's not right. and to answer what you said about doing it "discretely" it's because until today, so many people, people like you, don't see who they are as "normal", so talking about it helps the society accepting homosexuality and transexuality, and it works, things are way better than it was 50 years ago, but it's not enough, so they keep fighting by using the media and it's a good thing. I've been long but I hope it helps you understand :)
ppl insulting her for her current looks are disgusting. it doesn't matter if her look is "stereotypical" in your opinion she DONATED her hair bc she's an amazing person and is owning her own style. she's amazing.
How she likes to wear her hair is completely her choice. I am pretty sure every single one of us reading this, including me, cut and style our hair the way we like, and feel the most comfortable wearing it. So, yeah- you're right about freedom of speech, blah, blah- but, no one likes to be put down for the way they look, or their personal style. To do so is unkind and mean spirited. How much does it cost us, or how time consuming is it to make someone's day with a kind word? It not only makes their day, it makes yours too.
This is the most horrible thing you could say. Seriously, it's her person she can do what she wants. Worry about you're own shit and I bet you will feel a lot better and not need to tell other people what to do. ALSO, she has another role on another show and this is her Characters look ....
Kimmie Ammerman dude wtf.. who do you even think you are?! she looks beautiful just the way she is... you don't have to wear girlish clothes or have long hair to look beautiful.. where do you come from, the 19th century? if you don't have anything nice to say, get the fuck out of here.. no one likes a bitch... you definitely won't like it if people go around calling you ugly, would you? and anyone can clearly see that even if you have good looks, your personality kills it all just because of the shitty attitude you have
Sara Ramirez visited as a just a regular attendee at the first Clexacon, a convention specifically devoted to improving the way LGBTQ+ people are represented in the media. I was privileged to see them from afar and so proud to see a member of the industry truly there to learn how to improve the way we are portrayed. Much love! 💗
I watched this appropriately ten times and each time I understand it a little more and hear something new. Look, I am gay. And as a gay Indian woman from South Africa, I had to believe my truth before I shared it with anyone else. For a long time, I was aware of my fascination and attraction to the same sex. But I needed to figure out whether it was just a season or who I really was. After my inward exile I fell in love with my truth. I was sure of it. I could express it and I understood it. On different levels (like the LGBTQ flag) there are expressions of your truth that are necessary to explore. Being aware/mindful of what plays your strings is your most powerful and unapologetic truth.
I remember a gay person once told me that bisexual are just obsessed with sex. I was surprised that a person that was discriminated against had it within him to be so discriminatory. It just goes to show you that oppression breeds further oppression.
Unfortunately you're right. I am bisexual, my partner is lesbian and she cannot concieve the idea that 2 men can love each other. We've been together 9 years and I still cannot wrap my head arounf that. We speak about ut for hours, I keep telling her that love is love and well....you know.
Yeah. As a bisexual man I hear that a lot. People think that men are obsessed with sex already and then being bisexual on top of that then my whole life must be about sex. 🙄 I have also heard that as a bi man, I claim to be bisexual because it’s a stepping stone to being gay. I’ve heard that I will eventually pick a side, that I’m greedy, that I’m indecisive (which I am but not about who I am with), that I’m incapable of being in a monogamous relationship because bisexuals cheat even though I’ve been married to my wife for 17 years and have never cheated once. I hear a bunch of biphobic false stereotypes.
@@robertp181 You're so right. I was a teenager in the late 70's/early 80's, and I learned quickly that my LG friends had no patience with people who were bi. I was called so many names, and it really hurt that the queer community was so ready to reject me. So for several years I just said I was a lesbian. I was with my girlfriend for 6 years, never tempted to look for a male lover. Same thing when I married a man - I wasn't prowling for a woman. I only want to be with the person I love. I just happen to have no gender restrictions on who I fall in love with - and that includes nonbinary people.
I actually always though that her and Arizona should never get back together after she fucked callie over after taking care of her and being her punching bag after the whole losing the limb thing. That would have been the last straw if it was me. You are going to cheat on me after I've taken care of you, tried to cheer you up, and put up with your self pitty mess? And than after doing it she still felt it was justifed? Nope that would have been.
I also think when Arizona left for the job it should have been ended for good. But as the story went on I think it was stupid how they did break up and Callie becoming a b**** by putting her own selfish feeling above what is best for her daughter that should ALWAYS be put first. Parting a kid from the second parent is just cruel as long as the partner isn't abusive of the child. Plus I didn't feel her new relationship so I did hope that when Arizone gets written off it's based on them getting back to getter and have their "happily ever after"
SourStrawberrys ~ .... and peeing all over herself and on the floor and on bathmat, but when Callie came home, she lovingly tried to help her up off the floor and into the shower but all Arizona did was cuss and treat her like crap and never appreciating her for having to carry the entire load of the relationship. (I really do know that this is a scripted show and not real life) 😁Does anybody remember how cute Callie looked when she danced in her pink underwear in her living room after breaking up with Arizona? Now, I must mention- I am not gay, I just thought she looked so cute though!
Hearing her speak made me so emotional. It breaks my heart how many people struggle with their identities and the possibility of backlash for being who they are. Praying for a day where we are all my open minded and kind to others who may be different .
10 years ago she helped me come to terms with who I am. I came out eventually because of her and her strength. I realized I could come out too even thought it is pretty scary. I hope she knows all the amazing things she has done for people like me.
Oh my goodness! I really missed that smile! I fell in love with Sara when she joined Grey's Anatomy and have been a huge fan of hers ever since. I was absolutely heartbroken when she left the show... As heartbroken as I wad when George died, when Mark died and when Lexi died. I adored Callie's (Sara's) smile ! It's so big, beautiful, welcoming, happy and loving. When she smiles the world smiles... It's so very hard not to be happy when we see that smile. I'm so glad Shinda didn't kill off Callie! I hope she returns even just for one or two episodes here and there. Grey's isn't the same without her... ALL but 2 of my favourite characters are gone now :( But! This isn't about Grey's, this is about an AMZING woman who is using her celebrity power for the good of everybody no matter the race, religion, gender, sexual orientation etc!... I am so, so glad to KNOW that one of my favourite characters from a favourite series had the same goals and mindset as me 🙂... I'm straight but that doesn't mean I don't care I can't fight for what is right. However I am a minority... I'm black so I have ny very own problems to fight. Except I'm not just black. I'm half white too!... But my heritage is English, Jamaican, Irish, Italian, and Scottish... I consider it as having the very best of many worlds 🙂I'm proud to be mixed. Anyway, I'm rambling. Thank you, Sara for everything you do and thank you for using your celebrity status to give back to the community... To the WORLD, even... I'm British and still hear and see what you're doing for us all... YOU are amazing ❤️❤️
She talks about fear of backlash and then we get all these lame comments... being nice really is not that hard people. Or ya know. Just shut up. She looks amazing and happier than ever, good for her.
Dana Carter yeah I think so too. But there are some people who think that just her coming out was accepted so publically, that she was doing it all for the fame and glory. I think that she was very brave to. Thanks Dana Carter.
It's so sad that all of these comments are about how "hideous" her hair is and people being so sad that she cut off her "long beautiful locks". People wonder why queer and trans people have such a hard time feeling comfortable in their skin. Love you so much Sara - keep doing you
Mia Bryant I don't care what her sexual orientation is, that doesn't mean she shouldn't care about her appearance. But o.k. if she likes it...all that matters I guess
Jan Jones ....so according to you, anyone who cuts their hair doesn't care about their appearance?!?!....this is one of the most asinine comments Ive read.
I am no of course not, I just don't like this style on her. Guess what...I get to have an opinion too. At least I didn't disrespect her as a person, or judge her on anything else. I am aware different people like different things, but that style does NOT look good on her in MY opinion.
you get to have an opinion on whatever, but when it doesn't add anything of value, i don't understand why it has to be shared. i don't want to know if you don't like my haircut or my style. don't tell me that. to comment on people's appearance just because you feel the need to have it heard is mean. is that something you do in real life? do you like having your own looks criticized?
Great smile. And love how she said chosen family. Those tend to be the best/healthiest I've found because you want to be around those people you choose to love and it's not out of obligation or genetic linkages. Smart interview.
Cali was the reason I realised I wasn't just "falling around with girls" but actually bi sexual. And I'm not surprised they were scared of backlash for being lgbtq+ when the actor who played George felt he was cut for his own homosexuality.
I like, love and admire her a lot. She´s a pretty, nice, talented, smart and brave woman. Love the way she talks. Love her Grey´s Anatomy character. I hope the best for her. Thanks for sharing. Blessings today and always. From Mexico City.
Oh thank GOD! I really thought my gaydar was broken. Good on you Sara! What I love the most about you is that awesome voice of yours. Hope to hear much more of it in the future.
I've always thought she was the most underrated character on the show...this just confirmed that she is absolutely amazing. Both on screen and off! ❤️❤️❤️
gorgeous human being. this interview left me so, so emotional thinking about how I was just a pre-teen, watching Dr. Calliope Torres on TV, imagining a world where I could also be a queer doctor. Now I'm a queer Med student and I just want to be as strong and eloquent as Sara Ramirez, fighting for what matters: equality.
so so so proud of Sara for coming out publicly. she is an amazing advocate and so humble and brilliant. its so great to see her dressing how she chooses, and cutting her hair any way she wants, no matter what anyone has to say...its beautiful ❤
To everyone commenting about her hair cut. 1. Your opinion about her hair doesn't matter. 2. She donated her hair to "Locks of Love", an organization that makes wigs for children whose hair fall out due to illness. What have you done?
Jana Booysen I donated almost 20 inches of my hair 6 weeks ago. Doesn't mean I need to like the haircuts of everyone else who has recently done the same. I dislike shaved sides and undercuts, so, yeah, I love and respect her donation, but I think her hairstyle looks unflattering at best and Kim Yong Un at worst.
Jana Booysen too bad she donated it to them though. They actually charge the people for the wigs after the hair is donated by these wonderful, generous people.
sgtmian because let's face it, people have opinions. People will voice opinions. It's part of basic human interaction. And yeah, if you're in the public eye, more people will see your new outfit/hair/action and have an opinion on it. My opinion should not matter in the great scheme of things, but that doesn't forbid me from having one or voicing it.
it's a completely pointless opinion that doesn't add anything of value, except it might make someone else feel like shit. it doesn't need to be voiced, you can keep it to yourself. i have people in my life who do this, comment on other people's looks behind their backs, even to their face, and it's ugly, i don't understand why anyone would want to be friends with someone like that. people in the public eye are still human beings with feelings, so if you wouldn't say it to their face, why say it at all?
In a world bombarded with "like", millinial speak, memes, acronyms and phrases with no vowels, This beautiful womans voice is a breath of "like" ... fresh air . 🌈
I enjoyed her speaking out. She seems very genuine. I don’t think it’s easy for anyone to come out famous or not. I have lots of family and friends that have to deal with the hatred, bullying and discrimination.
What the heck is pansexual and non-binary? Like it or not, you are made with two sex chromosomes: either XX or XY. So, which are you? Simple (rhetorical here. I don't need to know the answer. Ask yourself) question.
Danielle Paterek hmmm then what about intersex people. Some have xxy some have xx and have "male genitalia" so dont give me crap like this when intersex people exist
oh my dear i would never judge u for who u truly some people may judge u hate u envy u but the bottom line is they aint u love yourself let the haters hate i will never look at u any differently
My kween! She helped so much growing up and discovering my own sexuality. It's so good to see her standing up for herself and not only behind a character (that still is my favorite, let me say. Callie Torres is a rockstar)
Hi, Sara, I didn't know this. But I am so proud of you for everything you do ... and now, that includes your bravery. Love and strength, from one of your old Juilliard friends!
02:03 And again with the "Mexican-Irish thing." but her parents are both Mexicans with Spanish lastnames, Ramírez and Vargas, Where is the Irish there? Why does she needs to explain all the time that he is "half European" when she is not? It´s pretty obvios that she has a problem assuming she is Mexican.
At about 3:14 is about how I typically react when I found out someone is LGBTQ - it's just another facet of them, and doesn't really affect me in any significant personal way. I'm old and married so why should it bother me that this guy has a boyfriend, that gal is trans, etc.
I just love that on greys she could play a bisexual person! I personally would feel like I was playing someone I needed to see when I was younger or just playing someone who I could personally connect to. Love you, Sara! You are such a role model!
I love Cali Torres “Sara Ramirez” no matter if she’s straight, Bi, or whatever. Love her personality on Greys, she was my favorite character. And I’m 💯% sure She’s an awesome person all around.
She’s gorgeous! Very well spoken, holds her own and is using her power for good. I can completely relate to the bi-phobia and bi-antagonism she talks about. I came out as lesbian at 16 as I felt that I had to choose a side and it wasn’t until I was 30 that I had the courage to admit that I was actually bisexual. Or perhaps the label pansexual would be a better fit as I’m attracted to people on the gender spectrum. Now I’m happily engaged to a beautiful, androgynous person who equally identifies as male and female - so lucky me! I still have moments where I subconsciously internalise subtle biphobia, which I didn’t realise until I listened to this, so thank you for the reminder Sara, that it is OK & important to 100% own your sexuality.
Absolutely love this woman, her portrayal of Cali Torres is one of the best characters in any show and the journey she took us on was beautiful. And her voice ❤❤❤❤
Jos *raises hand like in school* wait so, the "q" in LGBTQ doesn't mean questioning? I know they added IA for intersex & asexual I presume. There's so many new things they add onto it. Just checking ☺
Peach Elizabeth thanks for further clarification, I like to think I understand, I am so grateful Australia now has legal same sex marriage but as this has never existed in my family or circle of friends and I so far have only ever felt hetrosexual, I can't say that I do truely understand the complexities of human sexuality.
This woman is such an inspiration for me since she was Callie. I can feel all of the confident and love that she wants to transmit and it make me feel really empowered, confident and loved, thank you Sara, and you go girl!
Yang, Mer & YOU were among my FAV characters on GA. Your smile lights up a room & your spirit will hopefully light up many a lives! SOOOO much 💓 & 👊 to you! P.S: D new haircut is 🔥!
Sara I love u come back to Grey's anatomy I'm proud to hear that u have come out exclusively and are not ashamed of who u are , I have a brother who came out as a proud gay man at 18 and he's now 28 and I'm so proud of him.... I miss ur long beautiful hair X
People need to wake up and realize that she has no obligation to be like her character in real life. She looks AMAZING with a more masculine look and she doesnt have to answer to anyone on how she chooses to look. Sheesh people get a liiiiife !! 😶
I’m glad I watched this. Thank you for these kind, real words Sara. It’s hard out here for us. The more people share their stories and speak up and out, the more inclusive (we hope) spaces can be. At least spread awareness! ✊🏾 🏳️🌈
Omg could watch this over and over. So empowering. So proud of who she is. We need more people like this in the world. It’s thanks to people like her I was able to come out to my friends and family. I’m proud to be bisexual. LGBT🏳️🌈😍👫👭👬
When i came out to my parents i was maybe 16. at the time i was scared to tell them because i really didnt know what to expect. they never really took a negative stance against same sex realtionships but they had never had a gay child. i told my friends months before i told them. they reacted great so i built up more and more confidence and decided to tell my family. i had this whole big speech and i thought there would be this huge thing and i would have to stand up and make a big deal out of it. I told them i needed to talk to them both at the same time. and had them sit down in their room and my nerves were thru the roof. they sat down i was like "look i have to tell you something serious. i hope this changes nothing." they looked at each other then at me. i was about to continue and my mom cut me off and said something to the effect of " if this is you telling us your gay we already know. can we not waste time on this?" my body melted. all this time i was so scared and they werent even shocked. it was like me telling them the sky was blue.i knew then that nothing would change with us. and 10 years later my sexuality has had no effect on how we interact . its just who i am and makes no difference to them. they have held there hearts doors open for my girlfriends and have supported me for who i am. they even provide support when others dont support me. even my extended family which a large chunk of them very realigous dont make a big deal about it. its just how it is. grass is green theres 7 days in a week and maddie likes girls. i am very lucky and i know that. i was so scared and have hated myself for who im attracted to off and on for so long. but have been accepted the whole time. i am truly blesses
She was a woman who came out… as a woman, who doesn’t “identify as a woman”? So still just a woman having an identity crisis then? You got a haircut, you’re still a woman. She/her I will use for you
“YOU CANT PRAY AWAY THE GAY”
i watched that episode today
Amen 😂
Lol
Acually you can pray for help not to give into the sin of homosexuality. Everyone id tempted to sin and its out job not to give into the sin
Lucifer Morningstar hmm thats interesting. Ya see, I’m straight, so I’ve actually NEVER been “tempted”. And I’m pretty sure I’m not alone. It takes a certain kind of person to be “tempted” to be gay.
Ok I know people are talking about her coming out, but can we also talk about how well spoken she is ? Like I can listen to her talk all day!!!
Shoddy Wrestling Oh My God...I’m sitting here thinking how much happier I’d be if she was my local politician.
And with that voice too
That was my sentiment as well
Lmao ok
Right?!
She speaks so eloquently. I could listen to her talk forever
RIGHT?? ♥
Same
OMG RIGHT??
Nicole L she sounds the same on the show right ! 😜
What a micro aggression ..
I’m a straight female but I must say the “Calzona” scenes were some of the best love scenes on the show. I need you two back! My heart can’t take it. 😭😭😭😭
Same, and I really miss them 💔
Calzona jahahahaha
I'm inlove with calzona!😭
Na who came up with the name "calzona" 😭😭
So do I. it feels like they belong to each other
wtf she doesnt age like the older greys anatomy cast..
A Hispanic thing no getting old 🤷🏼♀️like jlo
Vampires exist!
like seriously no joke... i keep staring at her in the full interview i see callie from season 2... the only thing change is her hair
She does seem to have gained some weight thou
I liked her before the haircut.
The way she talks is so soothing
So Callie Torres is 100% the story behind Sara, that's why the character development was so nice, she was evolving great, one of the lovable character to have
More like she turned into her character she was married to a man until 3 ago
She looks exactly the same while her greys anatomy co stars look like grandparents now😁😂 whats the secret bro?
Her skin
yes! 😭
no offense but lesbians legit always looks fresh and younger...
um dont disrespect chyler, kelly, and camilla 😑
greysxmultix edits hehe, chylers bi I live chyler she’s gorgeous
I love how she said the people who raised her were Unequipped to support her compared to bashing them. She’s so classy
Im a fan of GREY'S ANATOMY AND CALLIE WAS MY FAVORITE CHARACTER
She was one of mine too but not now
Callie is one of my best 😀
I wish she was still on the show
me too
Same
She donated her hair!! 😍
shellie powers which is really awesome but she had such beautiful hair
😥
I donated my hair too!
Cassie Turner awesome!
shellie powers n
Bull!

F☆☆K THAT!
MsCissey No it has everything with someone being comfortable in their body and doing what they want with their hair
How refreshing her eloquence, her intelligence and the authenticity in which she expresses herself is just beautiful
First of all Sara looks good AF ! And we support a queen who owns who she is
YES i was looking thru the comments to read something like that
She won't be a queen when she is downstairs
I never liked her as an actress. I really dislike her on madame secretary. Her hair is obnoxiously ugly. And I find it weird to mix masculine and feminine traits.

Kimmie Ammerman dude wtf.. who do you even think you are?! she looks beautiful just the way she is... you don't have to wear girlish clothes or have long hair to look beautiful.. where do you come from, the 19th century?
if you don't have anything nice to say, get the fuck out of here.. no one likes a bitch...
you definitely won't like it if people go around calling you ugly, would you?
and anyone can clearly see that even if you have good looks, your personality kills it all just because of the shitty attitude you have
The way she says "..I knew my truth and my truth never went away.." So powerful. ❤️
Wth..... you don’t age girl? What do you eat?!
Luisa D shes mexican 😗
Pu$$y, i guess
Luisa D vegetables and fruits probably
I think it's obvious she's eating
Not a girl

But I needed to figure out whether it was just a season or who I really was. After my inward exile I fell in love with my truth. I was sure of it. I could express it and I understood it. On different levels (like the LGBTQ flag) there are expressions of your truth that are necessary to explore. Being aware/mindful of what plays your strings is your most powerful and unapologetic truth.
That's really great. I'm happy for you.
Hello from SA Durban
I remember a gay person once told me that bisexual are just obsessed with sex. I was surprised that a person that was discriminated against had it within him to be so discriminatory. It just goes to show you that oppression breeds further oppression.
Its very true!! A lot of queer folk judge people who are bisexual which i find so unreal and offensive and hypocritical.
Unfortunately you're right. I am bisexual, my partner is lesbian and she cannot concieve the idea that 2 men can love each other. We've been together 9 years and I still cannot wrap my head arounf that.
We speak about ut for hours, I keep telling her that love is love and well....you know.
Yeah. As a bisexual man I hear that a lot. People think that men are obsessed with sex already and then being bisexual on top of that then my whole life must be about sex. 🙄 I have also heard that as a bi man, I claim to be bisexual because it’s a stepping stone to being gay. I’ve heard that I will eventually pick a side, that I’m greedy, that I’m indecisive (which I am but not about who I am with), that I’m incapable of being in a monogamous relationship because bisexuals cheat even though I’ve been married to my wife for 17 years and have never cheated once. I hear a bunch of biphobic false stereotypes.
True I know a lot of people who are gay and full of prejudice
@@robertp181 You're so right. I was a teenager in the late 70's/early 80's, and I learned quickly that my LG friends had no patience with people who were bi. I was called so many names, and it really hurt that the queer community was so ready to reject me. So for several years I just said I was a lesbian. I was with my girlfriend for 6 years, never tempted to look for a male lover. Same thing when I married a man - I wasn't prowling for a woman. I only want to be with the person I love. I just happen to have no gender restrictions on who I fall in love with - and that includes nonbinary people.
Can we talk about how eloquently spoken she is?! So so so well spoken. I love it.
Better question is her character coming back?
Kele Jones probably not, especially now that Arizona, Jessica's character is not going to be on the show anymore
grecia sanchez I hope at least for the final season they do
She's more of a broadway actress anyways.
No tf😂
no she's on Madame secretary
her voice is so soothing I could listen to her talk for HOURS
She’s got one of the most beautiful voices. I wish she hadn’t given up singing.
She gave up singing? What a bad idea....she is magical in her singing...
she is so beautiful....i really pray that Calzona comes back and this time it will be forever
Ndivhu M welllll Arizona's character is being written off soooo....it's so sad
I actually always though that her and Arizona should never get back together after she fucked callie over after taking care of her and being her punching bag after the whole losing the limb thing. That would have been the last straw if it was me. You are going to cheat on me after I've taken care of you, tried to cheer you up, and put up with your self pitty mess? And than after doing it she still felt it was justifed? Nope that would have been.
SourStrawberrys Callie deserved so more, she just kept getting played from george to callie 😩 i miss her on greys tho
I also think when Arizona left for the job it should have been ended for good. But as the story went on I think it was stupid how they did break up and Callie becoming a b**** by putting her own selfish feeling above what is best for her daughter that should ALWAYS be put first. Parting a kid from the second parent is just cruel as long as the partner isn't abusive of the child. Plus I didn't feel her new relationship so I did hope that when Arizone gets written off it's based on them getting back to getter and have their "happily ever after"
SourStrawberrys ~ .... and peeing all over herself and on the floor and on bathmat, but when Callie came home, she lovingly tried to help her up off the floor and into the shower but all Arizona did was cuss and treat her like crap and never appreciating her for having to carry the entire load of the relationship. (I really do know that this is a scripted show and not real life) 😁Does anybody remember how cute Callie looked when she danced in her pink underwear in her living room after breaking up with Arizona? Now, I must mention- I am not gay, I just thought she looked so cute though!
My gaydar shot to a solid 7 when I first saw this woman in 2007.
Hearing her speak made me so emotional. It breaks my heart how many people struggle with their identities and the possibility of backlash for being who they are. Praying for a day where we are all my open minded and kind to others who may be different .
10 years ago she helped me come to terms with who I am. I came out eventually because of her and her strength. I realized I could come out too even thought it is pretty scary. I hope she knows all the amazing things she has done for people like me.
Oh my goodness! I really missed that smile!
I fell in love with Sara when she joined Grey's Anatomy and have been a huge fan of hers ever since. I was absolutely heartbroken when she left the show... As heartbroken as I wad when George died, when Mark died and when Lexi died.
I adored Callie's (Sara's) smile ! It's so big, beautiful, welcoming, happy and loving. When she smiles the world smiles... It's so very hard not to be happy when we see that smile.
I'm so glad Shinda didn't kill off Callie! I hope she returns even just for one or two episodes here and there. Grey's isn't the same without her... ALL but 2 of my favourite characters are gone now :(
But! This isn't about Grey's, this is about an AMZING woman who is using her celebrity power for the good of everybody no matter the race, religion, gender, sexual orientation etc!...
I am so, so glad to KNOW that one of my favourite characters from a favourite series had the same goals and mindset as me 🙂... I'm straight but that doesn't mean I don't care I can't fight for what is right. However I am a minority... I'm black so I have ny very own problems to fight. Except I'm not just black. I'm half white too!... But my heritage is English, Jamaican, Irish, Italian, and Scottish... I consider it as having the very best of many worlds 🙂I'm proud to be mixed.
Anyway, I'm rambling.
Thank you, Sara for everything you do and thank you for using your celebrity status to give back to the community... To the WORLD, even... I'm British and still hear and see what you're doing for us all... YOU are amazing ❤️❤️
She talks about fear of backlash and then we get all these lame comments... being nice really is not that hard people. Or ya know. Just shut up. She looks amazing and happier than ever, good for her.
It's so sad to me that we just can't agree to disagree
i miss her on the show :( I hope she comes back
Callie was one of my favorite characters on Grey's, I was sad when she left the show.
They are so well spoken and they are the best advocate 🥺🥺🥺
You're the only one I've seen use their pronouns, thank you for being educated. :))
Sara is amazing!! I wish I could speak like her, be as beautiful as her. Love her!
She looks so different but great. She is extremely well spoken, great interview!!
She's so brave. I'm proud of her.
Avanti this is in no way brave, it is attention getting. Actors have huge egos and a stunt like this is free PR.
Nicki Morelli it may be a PR stunt but it still takes guts to say something like that about yourself . So I'm just showing my appreciation.
Avanti Yeah it takes a lot of guts to say look at me when you want the attention. And she is saying one thing while doing another.
Avanti Balaji I didn't know Sara Ramirez came out of the closet until now; but in doing so, she is as brave as they come.
Dana Carter yeah I think so too. But there are some people who think that just her coming out was accepted so publically, that she was doing it all for the fame and glory. I think that she was very brave to. Thanks Dana Carter.
she speaks so euphorically and beautifully and shes so beautiful wow im in love
It's so sad that all of these comments are about how "hideous" her hair is and people being so sad that she cut off her "long beautiful locks". People wonder why queer and trans people have such a hard time feeling comfortable in their skin. Love you so much Sara - keep doing you
The haircut just doesn’t fit her. Still love her tho. Doesn’t mean I don’t support her.
Sidenote: she was such a cutie pie as a kid 😊
Mia Bryant I don't care what her sexual orientation is, that doesn't mean she shouldn't care about her appearance. But o.k. if she likes it...all that matters I guess
Jan Jones ....so according to you, anyone who cuts their hair doesn't care about their appearance?!?!....this is one of the most asinine comments Ive read.
I am no of course not, I just don't like this style on her. Guess what...I get to have an opinion too. At least I didn't disrespect her as a person, or judge her on anything else. I am aware different people like different things, but that style does NOT look good on her in MY opinion.
you get to have an opinion on whatever, but when it doesn't add anything of value, i don't understand why it has to be shared. i don't want to know if you don't like my haircut or my style. don't tell me that. to comment on people's appearance just because you feel the need to have it heard is mean. is that something you do in real life? do you like having your own looks criticized?
Great smile. And love how she said chosen family. Those tend to be the best/healthiest I've found because you want to be around those people you choose to love and it's not out of obligation or genetic linkages. Smart interview.
Cali was the reason I realised I wasn't just "falling around with girls" but actually bi sexual. And I'm not surprised they were scared of backlash for being lgbtq+ when the actor who played George felt he was cut for his own homosexuality.
For a second I thought it said “grey’s anatomy character died” and I almost had a heart attack lol
I mean who wouldn’t like women after being with Jcap 🤷♀️✊🏼😘
Yo Momma I think that JCap and Sara are so pretty!
Yaaazzzzz! 😍😍
True ,Jcaps is one hot babe 😍👌🌈❤❤
Good point even though she’s been bi her whole life. 🤷🏻♂️
And Jcap is straight
I like, love and admire her a lot. She´s a pretty, nice, talented, smart and brave woman. Love the way she talks. Love her Grey´s Anatomy character. I hope the best for her. Thanks for sharing. Blessings today and always. From Mexico City.
Oh thank GOD! I really thought my gaydar was broken. Good on you Sara! What I love the most about you is that awesome voice of yours. Hope to hear much more of it in the future.
I've always thought she was the most underrated character on the show...this just confirmed that she is absolutely amazing. Both on screen and off! ❤️❤️❤️
I just wanna say that I love you no matter what.
I love her voice, her way to talk and smile❤️
gorgeous human being. this interview left me so, so emotional thinking about how I was just a pre-teen, watching Dr. Calliope Torres on TV, imagining a world where I could also be a queer doctor. Now I'm a queer Med student and I just want to be as strong and eloquent as Sara Ramirez, fighting for what matters: equality.
Wow! She even looks 15 yrs younger. It's amazing what loving your self and living your truth openly can do. So happy for her. She's amazing.
Omg, she's one of the sexiest characters in Grey's Anathomy, miss her long hair!
so so so proud of Sara for coming out publicly. she is an amazing advocate and so humble and brilliant. its so great to see her dressing how she chooses, and cutting her hair any way she wants, no matter what anyone has to say...its beautiful ❤
When they played Callie and Arizona while Sara was talking, my heart... CRIED!
To everyone commenting about her hair cut. 1. Your opinion about her hair doesn't matter. 2. She donated her hair to "Locks of Love", an organization that makes wigs for children whose hair fall out due to illness. What have you done?
Jana Booysen I donated almost 20 inches of my hair 6 weeks ago. Doesn't mean I need to like the haircuts of everyone else who has recently done the same. I dislike shaved sides and undercuts, so, yeah, I love and respect her donation, but I think her hairstyle looks unflattering at best and Kim Yong Un at worst.
Jana Booysen too bad she donated it to them though. They actually charge the people for the wigs after the hair is donated by these wonderful, generous people.
J0k394 but why. do you have. to voice. your opinion. on other people's looks. if you don't like the haircut, don't get it. good lord.
sgtmian because let's face it, people have opinions. People will voice opinions. It's part of basic human interaction. And yeah, if you're in the public eye, more people will see your new outfit/hair/action and have an opinion on it. My opinion should not matter in the great scheme of things, but that doesn't forbid me from having one or voicing it.
it's a completely pointless opinion that doesn't add anything of value, except it might make someone else feel like shit. it doesn't need to be voiced, you can keep it to yourself. i have people in my life who do this, comment on other people's looks behind their backs, even to their face, and it's ugly, i don't understand why anyone would want to be friends with someone like that. people in the public eye are still human beings with feelings, so if you wouldn't say it to their face, why say it at all?
I love the way she talks. The words and the flow is just brilliant.
In a world bombarded with "like", millinial speak, memes, acronyms and phrases with no vowels, This beautiful womans voice is a breath of "like" ... fresh air . 🌈
I enjoyed her speaking out. She seems very genuine. I don’t think it’s easy for anyone to come out famous or not. I have lots of family and friends that have to deal with the hatred, bullying and discrimination.
She looks more like herself here. Proud of you Sara! I'm pansexual and non-binary and proud.
You flunked Biology 101, are confused, and spout Marxist BS. Be brave. Be heterosexual. That's how nature intended you to be.
What the heck is pansexual and non-binary? Like it or not, you are made with two sex chromosomes: either XX or XY. So, which are you? Simple (rhetorical here. I don't need to know the answer. Ask yourself) question.
you're an idiot lmfao wtf
shut up, idiot.
Danielle Paterek hmmm then what about intersex people. Some have xxy some have xx and have "male genitalia" so dont give me crap like this when intersex people exist
I am so proud of Sara and her self-assurance. She is so intelligent and I'm so glad to see her owning her truth.
She is amazing and she is a very kind person and one of my favorites actresses, i love her❤️
I didn’t know she was really bi sexual, but I still love her on greys anatomy. Keep being you a strong spokes person.
She came out after grey or near the end of her greys day so not a lot people know about it.
oh my dear i would never judge u for who u truly some people may judge u hate u envy u but the bottom line is they aint u love yourself let the haters hate i will never look at u any differently
I loved her long hair. Maybe she’ll grow it back out, but this new hairdo is banging too.
~Lisa~
She is so beautiful! Long hair or short hair, those eyes n her electrifying smile she is simply so mesmerizing!!!!
My kween! She helped so much growing up and discovering my own sexuality. It's so good to see her standing up for herself and not only behind a character (that still is my favorite, let me say. Callie Torres is a rockstar)
Wow, just wow. I can't explain how proud I am of her of being so proud of who she is.
Hi, Sara, I didn't know this. But I am so proud of you for everything you do ... and now, that includes your bravery. Love and strength, from one of your old Juilliard friends!
02:03 And again with the "Mexican-Irish thing." but her parents are both Mexicans with Spanish lastnames, Ramírez and Vargas, Where is the Irish there? Why does she needs to explain all the time that he is "half European" when she is not? It´s pretty obvios that she has a problem assuming she is Mexican.
At about 3:14 is about how I typically react when I found out someone is LGBTQ - it's just another facet of them, and doesn't really affect me in any significant personal way. I'm old and married so why should it bother me that this guy has a boyfriend, that gal is trans, etc.
I just love that on greys she could play a bisexual person! I personally would feel like I was playing someone I needed to see when I was younger or just playing someone who I could personally connect to. Love you, Sara! You are such a role model!
The voice, the tone....I could listen to her all day. It commands attention!
Even i don't like her new look she's still gorgeous.
I guess but danm the woman is beautifu...l i will turn gay just for her lolll...
I love Cali Torres “Sara Ramirez” no matter if she’s straight, Bi, or whatever. Love her personality on Greys, she was my favorite character. And I’m 💯% sure She’s an awesome person all around.
A gifted actor and vocalist. I'm happy for them.
She is not plural
A wonderful feature! Sara is beautiful in every way. Now I miss her even more on Greys. Thanks to her for being so brave, open and honest.
Calzona needs to come back I miss themmmmm ❤️❤️
She’s gorgeous! Very well spoken, holds her own and is using her power for good. I can completely relate to the bi-phobia and bi-antagonism she talks about. I came out as lesbian at 16 as I felt that I had to choose a side and it wasn’t until I was 30 that I had the courage to admit that I was actually bisexual. Or perhaps the label pansexual would be a better fit as I’m attracted to people on the gender spectrum. Now I’m happily engaged to a beautiful, androgynous person who equally identifies as male and female - so lucky me! I still have moments where I subconsciously internalise subtle biphobia, which I didn’t realise until I listened to this, so thank you for the reminder Sara, that it is OK & important to 100% own your sexuality.
I loved her on Grey’s Anatomy... but this made me love her more. So happy for her and her truth 💜
Same 💖
Absolutely love this woman, her portrayal of Cali Torres is one of the best characters in any show and the journey she took us on was beautiful. And her voice ❤❤❤❤
Dumb question as I am clueless. What is identifying as queer? I always thought it was an insult to say that to someone
Thank you for answering
I was gonna ask the exact same question. Thanks for explaining
L Murray thank for asking and thanks jos for answering
Jos *raises hand like in school* wait so, the "q" in LGBTQ doesn't mean questioning? I know they added IA for intersex & asexual I presume. There's so many new things they add onto it. Just checking ☺
Peach Elizabeth thanks for further clarification, I like to think I understand, I am so grateful Australia now has legal same sex marriage but as this has never existed in my family or circle of friends and I so far have only ever felt hetrosexual, I can't say that I do truely understand the complexities of human sexuality.
She is absolutely crazy eloquent. I had no idea how smart she clearly is!
"It's real. I mean it's called LGBTQ for a reason. there's a B in there and doesn't mean badass, I mean it kind of does, but also means bi" 🤗
The world has become a better place because of you, Sara. Love you!!!
This woman is such an inspiration for me since she was Callie. I can feel all of the confident and love that she wants to transmit and it make me feel really empowered, confident and loved, thank you Sara, and you go girl!
Yang, Mer & YOU were among my FAV characters on GA. Your smile lights up a room & your spirit will hopefully light up many a lives! SOOOO much 💓 & 👊 to you!
P.S: D new haircut is 🔥!
It doesn't matter what her sexual preference is, I love her, she is a amazing actor!
Sara I love u come back to Grey's anatomy I'm proud to hear that u have come out exclusively and are not ashamed of who u are , I have a brother who came out as a proud gay man at 18 and he's now 28 and I'm so proud of him.... I miss ur long beautiful hair X
She is always for me dr. Callie Torres! Love her so much!
People need to wake up and realize that she has no obligation to be like her character in real life. She looks AMAZING with a more masculine look and she doesnt have to answer to anyone on how she chooses to look. Sheesh people get a liiiiife !! 😶
Her voice makes me melt 😩😍🥺 she’s beyond gorgeous
Oh they way she kissed gave that away . The kiss can tell you a lot
I’m glad I watched this. Thank you for these kind, real words Sara. It’s hard out here for us. The more people share their stories and speak up and out, the more inclusive (we hope) spaces can be. At least spread awareness! ✊🏾 🏳️🌈
She is so precious OMG, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS SARA, I NEEDED IT
Also not crazy about the look. But love her on Greys and even better here. Such a beautiful soul🙏
Ugh I love them so much (also I could die for their smile it’s the prettiest smile I’ve ever seen)
Omg could watch this over and over. So empowering. So proud of who she is. We need more people like this in the world. It’s thanks to people like her I was able to come out to my friends and family. I’m proud to be bisexual. LGBT🏳️🌈😍👫👭👬
she has changed so much since season 1 physically and mentally
3:09 oml my cousin’s exact reactions 😂❤️
When i came out to my parents i was maybe 16. at the time i was scared to tell them because i really didnt know what to expect. they never really took a negative stance against same sex realtionships but they had never had a gay child. i told my friends months before i told them. they reacted great so i built up more and more confidence and decided to tell my family. i had this whole big speech and i thought there would be this huge thing and i would have to stand up and make a big deal out of it. I told them i needed to talk to them both at the same time. and had them sit down in their room and my nerves were thru the roof. they sat down i was like "look i have to tell you something serious. i hope this changes nothing." they looked at each other then at me. i was about to continue and my mom cut me off and said something to the effect of " if this is you telling us your gay we already know. can we not waste time on this?" my body melted. all this time i was so scared and they werent even shocked. it was like me telling them the sky was blue.i knew then that nothing would change with us. and 10 years later my sexuality has had no effect on how we interact . its just who i am and makes no difference to them. they have held there hearts doors open for my girlfriends and have supported me for who i am. they even provide support when others dont support me. even my extended family which a large chunk of them very realigous dont make a big deal about it. its just how it is. grass is green theres 7 days in a week and maddie likes girls. i am very lucky and i know that. i was so scared and have hated myself for who im attracted to off and on for so long. but have been accepted the whole time. i am truly blesses
She was a woman who came out… as a woman, who doesn’t “identify as a woman”? So still just a woman having an identity crisis then? You got a haircut, you’re still a woman. She/her I will use for you
It has always amazes me when people say, I was 8 about to turn 9; is there a different number after 8 that I'm not aware of?
