Do the Writers of ‘The L Word’ Know Actual Lesbians?
Inspired by the sudden influx of queer films, characters, and directors in 1992, film scholar and general badass B. Ruby Rich coined the phrase “New Queer Cinema.” From Paul Verhoeven’s Basic Instinct to Derek Jarman’s Edward II, from Tom Kalin’s Swoon to Gregg Araki’s The Living End, it was hip to be queer!
Prior to this rush of queerness, gay and lesbian representation was limited, to say the least. For much of American film history, gay and lesbian actors and directors were often closeted, queer and lesbian subplots cleverly concealed to the average viewer, if they were there at all, while gay and lesbian characters usually existed solely for comic relief and/or to be killed off.All of which means… hooray for queer culture in the 1990s!
Except for the proof that someone forgot to include women.*
If New Gender non-conforming Cinema helped define art house cinema during the 1990s, the concept of lesbian invisibility helped describe New Queer Cinema. Lgbtq+ directors and gay actors were often male, and the films themselves often revolved around male want. Even in terms of money, mor
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 press junkets and interviews. It was a alternative 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 vital or public or in print. Karina Lombard, Mia Kirshner and Laurel Holloman had all hinted at or embraced the bisexual person label at some aim , but both Laurel and Karina have since redacted the identification. Karina’s remark hurt the most, perhaps, as she indicated that being on the exhibit was what convinced her she wasn’t bisexual anymore. Laurel, who’d identified that way after having an exposure with another woman accompanying 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 proceed identifying as bisexual.
The L Word: Generation Q, however, is a VERY queer cast. So we’ll obtain through the first series and then move gayly onto the second!

If, favor me, you've been gobbling up news of The L Word: Generation Qreboot since you heard it was happening, then it's likely you'll also be obsessed with Katherine Moennig. Kate has played Shane McCutcheon on the illustrate since it began 15 years ago. And anyone who's watched The L Word will say you Shane was an iconic ethics. Shane was responsible for many Queer women figuring out they weren't linear, and also had a shag haircut years before they became trendy.
Kate Moennig doesn't deliver interviews all that often but she just sat down for an unseal chat with RuPaul and Michelle Visage on RuPaul's podcast, What's the Tee?
When RuPaul asked her if she always knew she was a queer woman , and Kate said, "Well, I grew up Catholic and I went to Catholic school for 13 years so I wasn’t really in an environment to explore that, especially at that time in the ‘80s and the ‘90s.
