The L Word gets real
| 02 July 2010
Long-awaited reality program The Real L Word made its debut in America this month.
The show, created by Irene Chaiken who also created The L Word, is a lesbian themed reality show which will screen on Showtime, a mainstream US cable channel. It focuses on the lives of six real life lesbians.
Reuters reports Chaiken said, “One of the things I was asked constantly [about The L Word] was ‘is that true? Are there really lesbians like that?’.
“To some extent this show answers that question in the affirmative... Just like all women, lesbians come in many different packages and these women may tell you something that you wouldn't have thought before about who a lesbian is.
“It was truly challenging to find six aspirational women who were comfortable enough in front of the cameras to share their lives with us, but who weren't simply looking to promote themselves in a vulgar way.”
