This point you made is particularly right on: "For this ancient thirty-something, however, I can't help but recognize a coming-out process I've seen countless times before: mimicking whatever gay images are most accessible. It's a process of trying to become what you think you are supposed to be before settling into your own skin." Well said!

This (once again) confirms my suspicions that The L Word is ruining lesbian culture. You don't see all straight folks emmulating the folks on "As The World Turns," yet from the moment The L Word began, lesbians have been running out getting "Shane" haircuts and modifying their wardrobe to match the "ideal" touted on that show. If the "ideal" involves cheating money-hungry superficial lesbians, count me out. Thank you.
