Leaving the closet on the Simpsons

IMDb reports:
Marge Simpson's sister Patty will come out as a lesbian and marry a woman that she met in a bar in a forthcoming episode of The Simpsons, several gay-oriented websites are reporting. The episode is almost certain to touch off controversy, not only because of the significant number of children the series continues to attract but also because it comes at a time when many states are seeking to ban same-sex wedding ceremonies. It is due to air early next year.

I guess that will finally expain a lot about her, or they're really running out of ideas.
