L For Love

On www.afterellen.com there are reviews and commentaries on shows that have lesbian or bisexual characters such as "The L Word", "Top Chef", "Bad Girls", and "Cashmere Mafia". A review of Season 5 of "The L Word" praised the show for changing the way lesbian life is portrayed on television. However, in another article about "The L Word" the show is criticized for giving stereotypical representations of Latina lesbians. It seems that homosexuals have created their own circle of shows that they love for their positive display of gays, lesbians, and bisexuals. In an article about the cooking show "Top Chef" I learned that they have even come up with the term "chefbians" to refer to lesbian chefs. In all of the articles the shows are reviewed from a lesbians perspective on how lesbians and bisexuals are portrayed. After reading through a few reviews it is evident to see what homosexuals love to see on television shows and what stereotypes they hate to see displayed.
