Gender is not something black or white. Face it, there are millions of homosexuals and bisexuals living either inside or outside their own respective closets, and this has been portrayed by the movie The L Word.

Since the theme of the series is lesbianism, it’s something fresh in the eyes of the people. They have probably seen a lot of films (and series too) that had gays in it, but lesbian? Rarely to never. The L Word is about the friendship and the lives of a group of lesbians and bisexuals, what hardships they encounter regarding their sexuality and the like. Also, the series has been receiving praises from the feminists, since it shows another side of femininity (putting the image of the woman outside of the box).
