THE 17 REASONS WHY WE WANT MORE L WORD STORIES

Legitimization– Television, a “living space medium”, can be a powerful agent of change in our culture. This promotes social acceptance and, eventually, legislative change.

Lightening – It can strike twice for Showtime, if the heart and soul of The L Word, “Bette and Tina”, are at the center of the stories told.

Liberal – The L Word has a large heart, is open minded, tolerant and kind.

Left – The L Word left us all wanting more love, more lust, more lechery, and more life.

Legitimacy – This is imprinted upon a community, by society as a whole, when the stories of an underrepresented group are acknowledged in the entertainment media.

Lobotomy – The procedure we will all need to get over our longing to see the characters we fell in love with over the past six years.

Lessons – The women of the "L" dispelled many myths and stereotypes about lesbians through thought- provoking story telling.

Luciferous – "There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it." -Edith Wharton-. The L Word has been both the candle and the mirror.

Liberty - The L Word reminds us we were born free and equal.

Level playing field – Whether we happen to be straight, gay, bi-sexual or transgender, we all equally enjoy laughter, loyalty, friendship and a great LOVE story.

Legalized marriage – It’s the last bastion of civil rights, and another reason telling the story of “Bette and Tina’s” marriage is both romantic and socially important.

Lust and Lascivious – We admit it, we love seeing the sex scenes and the glamour on The L Word. After 80 years of movies showing straight love scenes, isn’t it only fair?

Leap of Faith – We bow to the wonderful actors who took that leap, without fear, to honorably, proudly, and authentically, portray these characters.

Liquor – The “L” women age like a bottle of fine red wine; the more you watch, the more you want.

Loyalty – All women will support all women when they share the universal connections through our stories.

Life – Showtime breathed life into an untapped market that has just awakened to the possibilities when our stories are thoughtfully told. It "coaxed us away from the mechanical, toward the miraculous."

Love – What we see with every “Bette and Tina” kiss.
