    Why is Shane always the one with the least screen time. In the finale she had one small scene and that's it. We need more Shane, please

  • @DanaX09

    I liked the idea of the L word, and obviously it was hot, but I think it portrayed lesbians as people who were completely unable to maintain healthy relationships. I get that it was sort of a soap opera format, but it would have had a more positive impact on society, if at least some of the couples were in stable monogamous relationships and maintained boundaries between friends and lovers. When I first saw this show I was finding myself and frankly it scared me and put me off trying to connect with the lesbian community. I wanted ONE lover and a relationship, I did not want to be involved if all that was available was a steady stream of “ships in the night”.
