Another of my favorite television shows was The L Word, starring Jennifer Beals, Mia Kirshner, Laurel Holloman, Leisha Hailey, and Sarah Shahi.
I have watched all six seasons three times. Seventy episodes. Since I love women, I loved watching women love women.
The L Word was on Showtime from 2004 to 2009 and followed the lives of lesbian and bisexual women who lived in West Hollywood, California.
The L Word featured television's first ensemble cast of lesbian and bisexual female characters, and its portrayal of lesbianism was groundbreaking at the time.
One of the series' groundbreaking characteristics was its explicit depiction of lesbian sex from the female gaze, at a time when lesbian sex was "virtually invisible" elsewhere on television.
Since that happened to be the kind of sex I happened to have while trying to be a man, I understood what was going on and loved the characters.
To me, making love to two wives was like women loving women, because of my gender identity.
While I am scared to start a lesbian relationship, I am certainly open to it.
