OT

via Queer Day . Apparently, the Simmons Market Research group did some 'research' on the habits of gay and lesbian viewers and were surprised that we don't fit the stereotypes. This was the standout line though: "Lesbians, it turns out, watch "Law & Order: SVU" BWAH! Clearly, this survey was conducted before the Mariska-possesses-Benson arc began.

Wait, what are stereotypical gay and lesbian viewing habits? Because, really, the fact that lesbians watch SVU and Golden Girls really shouldn't be a surprise to, well, anyone.

Exactly! I was under the impression that SVU's entire viewing audience was lesbian and/or bi. wouldn't it be nice if the powers that be at SVU finally recognized this little fact and gave us back our butchBenson? not to mention Alex?
