Running between 2004 and 2009, Showtime’s six-season The L-Word offered a Sapphic-centric L.A.-set successor to Queer as Folk. While groundbreaking, audacious, and sexy (over 110 sex scenes during its run!), originator Ilene Chaiken and her creative teams were responsible for one of the most loathed, insane (literally!) main characters on cable TV, Jenny Schecter (Mia Kirschner), whose unsolved murder served as a framework and point of contention during the show’s final season, and a well-meaning but inaccurate and cringe-worthy trans representation in Max (Danielle Sea).
At long last, on Sunday, December 8, Showtime will premiere its followup The L-Word: Generation Q. With Marja-Lewis Ryan as showrunner, it definitely makes up for past sins with its ethnic diversity both in front of and behind the camera (including Latina screenwriters Tatiana Suarez-Pico (Parenthood) and Nancy Mejía (Vida); authentic transgender representation; and socially aware, hugely entertaining and dramatic storylines involving both the original’s characters and a fresh batch of new “Gen Q” faces.

When the original L Word launched, “which of these actresses are gay in real life” was a common question asked of the cast members at squeeze junkets and interviews. It was a different time, then. Leisha Hailey was the only out lesbian in the main cast. Kate Moennig was also a lesbian but it wasn’t okay yet to say so, at least not anywhere important or public or in print. Karina Lombard, Mia Kirshner and Laurel Holloman had all hinted at or embraced the bisexual label at some point, but both Laurel and Karina have since redacted the identification. Karina’s utterance hurt the most, perhaps, as she indicated that being on the show was what convinced her she wasn’t bisexual anymore. Laurel, who’d identified that way after having an experience with another woman following her part in The Incredibly True Adventures of 2 Girls In Love, eventually came to feel that that relationship was a one-off and it wasn’t right for her to maintain identifying as bisexual.
The L Word: Generation Q, however, is a VERY gay cast. So we’ll get through the first series and then move gayly onto the second!
