Jenny's life is turned upside down when she attends a party hosted by Tim's neighbors, Bette (Jennifer Beals) and Tina (Laurel Hollomon), a lesbian couple who are looking to take the step into parenthood after seven years of dating. A brief encounter at the party suddenly has Jenny thrust into the local lesbian community and a whole new world she never understood until she questions her own sexual orientation. Comments: I am a straight gal and I love the show!!! I love the l word. I read quite a few postings about how a lot of people thought the show aimed at heterosexual males. I have to disagree. I am not a male but i am a heterosexual. I can relate to some of the story lines because i have been pregnant( bette and tina), I have been cheated on (tim and jenny), I know people who play around (shane), I have semi-dorky friends (dana) and lastly i have been in love. i think the message of the show is that as people we all share at least 1 thing on common. That is that we all want to be loved. It doesnt matter by who or how, we all want it. We strive for it. Its a main priority in our lives from the moment we are born. I think its a great show and i for one will continue to watch it!! Scene Description: Jennifer Beals and Laurel Holloman lesbian kissing each other. ..Movie Stills
