This, and so many lines, symbols, and events from the show became lesbian canon, thanks to the way The L Word brought queer womanhood - even if it’s explicitly in a hyperprivileged bubble - to the screen. Find me a woman-loving woman who hasn’t drawn some rendition of this herself. Many of these envy-worthy lesbians are connected by the Chart, a whiteboard (turned website in later seasons) drawing lines between hookups of queer women around the globe, oddly personifying the interconnectedness of, well, real queer women around the world.
As in, so many women and queer people watching really, really wanted the glamorous, hyperdramatized lives of these somewhat (okay, very) flawed but ambitious, attractive, and proudly out (for the most part) women. When the series debuted in January 2004, it was the first of its kind to portray lesbian life in an aspirational light.
