The L Word

16 years after the series ended, ‘The L Word’ is still taking up a lot of lesbian oxygen.

We need more Paris x Kate content.

Iconic.

Happy Lesbian Visibility Day!

Hint: we can expect “drama, drama, drama!”

Has anyone checked on Finn?

Hold on to your tits and bits because “The L Word: Generation Q” is officially filming their 3rd season.

“When I’m watching television, especially something that’s very queer-centered, I try to turn that part of my brain off. But — spoiler alert — you can’t. It’s always there.”

Warning! This article contains spoiler alerts for “The L Word: Generation Q” Season 2, Episode 9.

“Have you considered that it’s possible to burn shit down and still leave something standing?”

Carrie, I think it’s time you get back to your roots. Come to the city. We’ll eat pasta and cry and laugh and wax poetic over our love of antidepressants.

From the get-go, the night is off to a rocky start.

Do you want to date a boss-bitch? Well, guess what? A boss-bitch is a boss-bitch because she’s paying attention to everything. And honestly, it’s quite frankly annoying to have a partner who pays that close attention to you, who notices when you’re slipping through the cracks.

Cherie Jaffe is back! 

“When I sat down by myself in my apartment and thought about what I just said yes to, I got really emotional, because when I was younger, television, magazines, or any sort of media is where you get a preview of what could be. I never saw someone who looked exactly like me in an intimate scene.”

As if this season hasn’t already been bad enough for Dani.

Unconditional love is far more powerful than biology. Biology doesn’t guarantee that people are going to show up for you the way Shane and Alice show up for Bette and Angie.

What this episode reminded me of is the beauty in f*cking up. She’s an unconventional beauty for sure, but anything powerful will never be run-of-the-mill.

The dyke divinity is in the details.

Warning! This article contains spoilers for last night’s episode.

It’s finally here!

Alice was, and is still, unfolding in front of our eyes, revealing new layers each time she graces the screen in an iconic pantsuit. 

“Regardless of how society has changed in the last 17 years,” Kate Moenning, who plays Shane, tells GO, “what hasn’t changed is the primal desire to be seen and to love and be loved.” 

The L Word Generation Q has just dropped the full trailer for season 2, promising more drama, messy love triangles and, of course, sex. 

Showtime has announced that season 2 will premier on streaming and on-demand for Showtime subscribers August 6, with an on-air premier to follow on August 8 (10 p.m. EST/PT).

“I’m the fiance of Tina. So Bette and Tina have broken up, and I’m the person who’s about to marry Tina. And that comes with meeting all of her group and feeling like the outsider and like I don’t have the right clothes,” O’Donnell explained on Hot Takes & Deep Dives with Jess Rothschild.

Yes, all caps are necessary.

All I’m asking for is *one* date, Carmen.

Jennifer Beals, a long-time LGBTQ+ ally and advocate, called the award an “amazing honor.”

I’m still thinking about *the* threesome…

She’s your cool straight girl best friend who is *so* cool, she’s actually gay.

If this show were your only representation of queer women, you would assume we cannot keep it in our pants. So, in real life, can we?

The bitch is back. (Sort of).

This show loves to torture us — and we love it right back.
