BD Wong wasn’t too pleased with how the show chose to have his character, Dr. George Huang, come out as gay just before he left.

"I had no idea throughout the time that I was doing the show for ten and a half years, so it felt a little cheap to me. I was also kind of torn because, you know, it's positive... But it did feel a little convenient or kind of lazy or, you know, kind of not particularly the best way that you want to come out as a character. It wasn't like Ellen coming out. It wasn't a great thing that was really impactful and funny or human or whatever; it was just kind of a minor point made."

He and Tamara Tunie leaving was another reason to stop tuning in. Meloni leaving was bad enough. The show has jumped the shark. Or in the case of SVU, raped and strangled it too.

I was obsessed with Law and Order SVU years ago and never realized that Dr.George Huang was supposed to be gay.

It’s the same franchise as “is this because I’m a lesbian” isn’t it?
