Queer Celebrities! They’re Just As Weirdly Giddy About “The L Word” Reboot As You Are!
Today has been a truly bizarre and remarkable day of information. For the entire afternoon, The L Word and Donald Trump Jr. have been trending on Twitter. If you’d told me in 2009 — when those ladies of West Hollywood walked in slow motion in their evening gowns down to the police precinct to be interrogated about their friends’ death, and Barack Obama settled into his first term in the White House — that eight years later there’d be a day where the biggest news stories in the country were about a reboot of a lesbian television show and President Donald Trump’s son confessing to treason, I would have thought you were drunk. But the world sure is a different place in 2017!
One of my favorite things about this day was coming to the realization that celebrity queer women were watching The L Word at the exact same time we were. And they’re as overwhelmed about this reboot as we are. Here are some of the best tweets of the day.
Public campaign to write the theme song for the L Word reboot begins….now. Get ready for 300 unsolicited theme songs @Leisha_Hailey ok???

I wholeheartedly support this lesbian initiative or 'lesbiative', as it's known in the biz.

Re: The L Word reboot – I always wondered what happened to Jodi Lerner post Bette. I know it's a new cast, but maybe..? 😉 @ilenechaiken
