I'd say I've been different charters at different times of my life, Shane when I was younger for sure and possibly Bette as I became older.
L Word was a fantasy come true. So many people say," you cant be
gay! Your too pretty to be gay." Like only women that cant get a man are the ones that are gay. It's always a man that makes comments like that. God thank my god that I am gay and not have to put up with men that are so shallow. Being gay is being me and I am sure all lesbian women feel this way. I didn't come out untill I was 35 and had been married in a alcohlic abusive relationship for 13-15 yrs. And the entire time wonder "if." The entire time watching tv with "him" and thinking to myself, "god she is so beautiful, if I could I would totally do her." Having dreams about women and how they feel. My whole family knew before I did. It was harder to admit to myself than my family. My sis told me one day, (while I was still married to him) She says, " I am suprised you've been married for this long." I asked, "why." She say's, "well to tell you the truth, I just always thought you were gay." I asked, "what ever made you think that?" She told me, " it was they way you were as a kid, just always thought you were." This was a year before I divorced my husband, then a year later gave into my inner desires. It was the best thing to ever happen to me in my entire life.
I KNOW NOW WHAT SERENITY AND INNER PEACE MEANS.
NOW I DONT WORRY ABOUT THEM, THOSE, AND THEY'S.
I ONLY WORRY ABOUT ME AND MY PARTNER THE LITTLE THINGS THAT MAKE LIFE WONDERFUL. AND TO ALL THE REST MIND YOUR OWN BUISNESS AND GET OUT OF MY BEDROOM! AND NO YOU ARE NOT INVITED, STAY OUT!!!
thanks for letting me share
forever me - a tale of a lesbian
i really love the L word. it is the best season i have ever seen
I too was a late lesbian in life. Married to a drunk for 18 years, all I wanted was to be a mother. I was blessed with both a daughter and son. After high school (long time ago), I did what I thought I was supposed to do and that was get married and have my babies. It was great for a while, untill my daydreams of women consumed me and all the what if's were there. I thought HOW could I do this with two kids. Well it all came into play when my sister introduced me to her hot lesbian neighbor. She actually hooked us up on our first date. Needless to say I divorced the husband and we are now in an almost 7 year relationship and just became grandparents. Life is wonderful! Btw.. all my family and friends knew before me also, and the ex husband actually respects and likes my GF, which helps alot, it took a while but it worked itself out. I feel like a winner, I got my kids and my woman. Plus as of today a two mnth grandson that has us all spoiled rotten around here.
We are huge fans of The L Word and I pretty much cried when it was over with. I keep thinking WTF happen? WHY?
To anyone out there that feels trapped or afraid to come out, don't. It is actually alot easier then you will ever think. Once you tell one person it feels so much better and then it just becomes easier and then next thing you know you are living a life that suits you and feels good to you.
I stand and applaud The L Word and all whom worked on it. I just wish me saying BRING IT BACK could work, if things were only that simple.
BTW hello everyone I'm new here, nice to meet you all.
Im 27 and i just came out about 9 months ago.I came out 2 my ex first and he just was like i have known that for years. I came out to my friends and i lost one of my best friends. The funny thing is that everyone has known forever. When i came out my friend B she told me about the L word, I watched all the first five seasons in 2 weeks. I lov e this show, it helped me come out 2 my dad and stepmom, and ever my grandpa. The day the 6th season came out i got it that day and watched it that day. The L word has helped me figure out who i am and and that its ok to be me and if someone has a problem with me i dont care. Im going to miss the l word, please bring it back!!!!
Yay for the L word. But they should make it more easily available to low income people. I feel like The only way I could watch the l word was to buy the dvds. Donate to the poor?
Yay for the new L word!
:)
Well, they pretty much shunned the Asian community, so guess I can't really send in an entry.
yeah that is pretty much sure about it.. I love l world episodes
