Talk:Serena Southerlyn

Departure and sexuality
I cleaned up some of the language and spelling (mostly before I logged in). This section still has neutrality issues that I'll work on in the near future.

How do I remove this from the LGBT studies template thing? For the love of Rosie O'Donnell, Serena Southerlyn was a lesbian for about fifteen seconds. What sort of Lesbian studies could you possibly derive from that? --Blue Spider (talk) 04:14, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Please do not remove project tags. Even if the character was "out" for 15 seconds, she would be closeted prior. Removal of project tags without consensus from the project involved constitutes vandalism, which will be reverted and escalating warnings issued prior to a block. -MBK004 04:24, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

I would like to know more about the real reasons she left the show, in case it was relevant. It seemed strange to fire her in the first place, and then have her question whether it had anything to do with her sexuality. There are a lot of negative implications in that for me.

 * It's worth leaving the tag if only because the issue of LGBT representation in the media came up heavily when GLAAD and AfterEllen.com complained about the L&O history of using homosexuality as a ratings grabber and a plot device. I've added a bit about that to the article.Lawikitejana (talk) 01:50, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Opposition to death penalty
At the end of the first episode of the twelfth season ('Who let the dogs out?' - first appearance of Serena Southerlyn), she said to EADA Jack McCoy and DA Nora Lewin that sometimes she would prefer an exchange between sentence to men and sentences to dogs (the dog's owners are sentenced to few years in prison whereas the dog has been killed).

My opinion in this sentence is really that she is for death penalty. Was it the first opinion of Dick Wolf or is it just a sentence with no importance?

 * She actually specifically notes in an episode (I believe early in S13) that she envied her church going relatives for being sure that the death penalty was absolutely wrong, thus making it clear she was uncertain. This was after Branch was introduced and she was more of a foil to his attitudes. 2600:1700:ED21:7140:922B:34FF:FE9A:9E60 (talk) 07:13, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
