“You’re KateShane.”
We sorted every (magical) lesbian/bi TV character in the history of the world into Hogwarts houses because we love you.
I have so many great friends from my time on the show.Kate Moennig has become one of my absolute best friends, which is really funny, because the first day I met her, she intimidated the hell out of me. I was like, “How can any one person bethis cool? It’s not normal.” I was afraid she might roll her eyes every time I opened my mouth because I’m so not cool. But, ironically, now she’s like my sister. The L Word was such a unique experience. We were all in Vancouver together, away from home, and we hung out with each other all the time. It was so rare and so great to be surrounded by that many strong, smart women.

I said, “Pam, look, I’m straight.” She’s like, “I know.” Only two girls on that show were actually gay. But I said, “I’m coming at you, I’m gonna do it, I’m gonna pursue you and get you to fall in love with me. And you are gonna do it. And I’m not gonna make you. You just watch.” And she was laughing, but sure enough, it was this romantic, great thing. At one point, I’m singing Leonard Cohen’s “I’m Your Man” to her in a parking garage and dancing her around. It was amazing. I had the best time.
But of course — Bette Porter and Tina Kennard are the ultimate lesbian power couple. I’d love to run into them at the gym or Starbucks, although I might be too intimidated to actually talk to them. Their passion for life would make them a joy to know, even if their passion for each other might make being around them a little awkward from time to time. - The Linster
Fictional lesbian couples we wish we knew
When you meet a lesbian who says she’s never seen an episode of The L Word.
Lesbians from WeHo insist that The L Word is like real life, but most of us don’t know any Bette Porters or Shan McCutcheons. But nearly all of us know some Dana Fairbankses. Hell, lots of us are Dana Fairbankses: Clumsy at love, kind of insecure, mostly sweet, still a little bit scared of our parents. And who among us hasn’t shared her heart with a Mr. Piddles? And then the most relatable character on the highest profile lesbian TV show that has ever (and probably will ever) exist got the kind of breast cancer that kills you faster than a snakebite. Dana’s death is the gold standard by which we measure all other shitty TV writing and general agony. WE’LL NEVER FORGET.

She murdered Mr. Piddles. Do I really need to say anything else about her? - Heather Hogan
Tina don’t want to act no mo.
![I didn’t get any attention for The L Word because my character didn’t look like me, we didn’t have the same voice. In True Blood I pretty much look like myself, but I really only get recognized when I’m in what I call “drag.” [laughs] Seven-inch heels, an amazing dress, my hair’s extra-done and my makeup’s perfect. That’s the only time I really get recognized in this town. I’m kind of a shuffle-y tomboy, so I don’t really stick out.
