His new version uses a different naming convention, and didn't replace the old file. Quirky, eh? By the way, the comment that put this on the "Recent Discussion" list appears to be spam. I've deleted the URL just to be sure, but I'll leave the text because it's pretty funny that a random spam comment can bring an old post to a new audience's attention!

That column is bollocks. There's no conflict between having fun and being political. Mark's right about the stereotype. And on the tanning salon, Rob, there are regular cast members who are African-American unlike on many mainstream US shows. And it's the first time that Jennifer Beals' African-American heritage has been acknowledged in a role, I think. Also, I think I'm in love with <a href="http://www.thelwordonline.com/shane.shtml" rel="nofollow">Katherine Moennig aka Shane</a>. She can tousle my locks anytime!

In a few episodes, Bette faces Christian/Republican protests over a "blasphemous" installation at the Art Gallery where she is the director, is outed on tv, and raises the issue of sexuality and rights. Shayne is pretty political too. It's in itself a stereotype to say that lesbians are all dour and obsessed with sexuality and politics to the exclusion of all else. None of my dyke friends have been like that - though some are more activist than others. I have to add - I'm a long time fan of Mia Kirshner since she appeared in <i>Love and Human Remains</i>.

There's a good <a href="http://www.thelwordonline.com/" rel="nofollow">fan site</a> here. I think it portrays some realistic dilemmas people of any sexuality face in relationships, work and friendships. And it's funny. I don't know if anyone remembers the lesbian-identified man Lisa having sex with Alice - and pulling a dildo out of his handbag when she says "but you've got a real one" - "but I'm a lesbian". I'm not retelling it well but it's funny. Of course it's glitzy and everyone is beautiful, but hey - it's teev. I really like it!
