I do think the L word is cultural. I mean, societal, I think, then as a result. But cultural in that. And listen, I'm going to say a few things that may be offensive to other queer women out there. But like, you know, I'm a gay woman who grew up in the 80s and 90s. You know, we had no role models. no direct role models. You know, we were grasping at straws.

We were grasping at an MTV VJ Duff, you know, grasping at like the girl from just one of the guys, which was an eighties movies literally before you were born. But you know, there was nothing for us that we were grasping at, at a Mary Stewart Masterson and some kind of wonderful who was a straight person. It seems sort of gay.

Like, thank you, Katie Lang, we appreciate your work. But when the L word came out, I remember watching it with my one lesbian friend that I had in Los Angeles at the time and just thinking, oh my God, it's possible. It's possible. Where are these women? They must exist. They must exist.

And we were so enamored of this culture and this sort of group of friends that were created on the show that I kind of think we manifested it because we eventually met them.

And I was a standup at the time and I was writing and stuff. And I was doing standup at Dinah Shore Weekend, which for the dear readers, that is the lesbian sort of like Coachella, if you will. Yes. And I was doing standup and the L word gals were doing a, a like, you know, meet and greet kind of thing while the show is still on. And somebody took them to come see my standup.

I had been doing these very silly vlogs with some other lesbians where we essentially like recapped the L word. We made fun of the L word and recapped it. And they had been watching it unbeknownst to me. The cast had been watching these vlogs. Kate Menning came up to me and said, I'm a huge fan. And I almost fainted.
