'Simpsons' surprise

Back in July I predicted Waylon Smithers would be the "Simpsons" character would come out of the closet in the planned gay marriage episode.

However, it turned out to be Marge's sister Patty was the one who decides to surprise everyone when same-sex marriage is legalized in Springfield.


Patty Bouvier declares her love for the ladies in tonight's episode of "The Simpsons."

I should have seen it coming. Smithers was too obvious a choice, and Patty was the one who always sat on the sidelines while her twin sister Selma has been married three times (four times according to tonight's episode -- lucky Disco Stu).
