“The L Word changed my life. I was a very confused 14 year Colombian girl living in a very small city with my very Catholic family. I was not old enough to watch the show but fk it, I finally understood why I felt out of place and I didnu0026#39;t u0026quot;get itu0026quot; when my friends talked about some u0026quot;boy being super hotu0026quot;. I realized that I was, and I am, lesbian. I know the show ended up being crap. But we canu0026#39;t let the bad things overshadow what this show meant, and still means, to people like me.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMy girlfriend and I were afraid of watching this new generation, we were afraid of watching a disaster even worse that what ended up to be the original show. We were afraid that u0026quot;The L Wordu0026quot;, the lesbian word, would fall in the background. I am not against the Q generation, but I do feel that we lesbians all around the world are losing great spaces like for example: all women, lesbian bars. I love that today, people are not afraid of putting on, or not to putting on, a label. But we need The L Word right now more than ever. You can see for yourself. Search how many lesbian bars have disappeared all around the globe in the last 10 years, itu0026#39;s sad. There are just a couple left.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI just watched the first 2 episodes and I feel so happy. I am feeling like a teenager, watching the show on mute with the captions on, every Sunday at 11pm on schoolu0026#39;s nights. Feeling scared and happy at the same time. Waiting the whole week just for that one hour of television where I could watch women like me. We did exist! I was not the only one!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003enI think the choices they made with the old characters are great. I think this new show is very smart and it keeps the essence of the first seasons of the original one. I am very happy with this transition.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI really want this show to succeed. I want to know more about the old characters, I want cameos. But also, I want to know more about the new characters. I am very excited and enjoyed the hell out of these episodes.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eYeah, the show is silly sometimes but it doesnu0026#39;t take itself too seriously and shouldnu0026#39;t we. This show was and still is groundbreaking, itu0026#39;s tone varies but the message is very clear.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI am very glad Jennifer, Leisha and Kate did this. And I am so happy that they are the producers and have a lot of creative power. They canu0026#39;t let Ilene Chaiken ruin this again.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWatch it. I was not going to to do it because of the reviews and that is so stupid. Just give it an opportunity.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI love this cast, they have great chemistry.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis show is not about fixing the mistakes made in the past. They canu0026#39;t resurrect Dana and, they actually did a great job with the Jenny situation….one line was more than enough to end that mess.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI hope to get a lot of more seasons. Why the LGBTQ+ community hates the LGBTQ+ community so much?u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eLike for real. I donu0026#39;t get why anyone can be pissed at this show. Just donu0026#39;t watch it if you donu0026#39;t like it but you canu0026#39;t say itu0026#39;s not a great deal for our community and for us, lesbians.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eLesbian, from Lesbos. The origin of the L word is beautiful. Read about Sappho, read her poems. We should be proud of it and we should celebrate it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWe need more shows like this. Visibility is our best allied, donu0026#39;t forget that.”
