I've wanted since I did
"The L Word" to talk about bisexuality because it seems -- clearly --
a big part of our story. I think for all gay people -- I suspect for women even
a little more than men, although I have no empirical information about that --
firstly, we all had to come out. There was a presumption on most of us at some
point that we were heterosexual and we had to realize that we weren't and
grapple with it in every possible way. We are all aware that there is a sliding
scale of sexual orientation in some sense. Some people are explicitly, devoutly
-- or however you want to characterize it -- gay and some people are more inclined
to bisexuality in one way or another.
One of the big lesbian
stories has always been women who come out, are with women for a while and then
go back to men -- for any number of reasons and there are a huge number or reasons why that
happens. I wanted to tell that story on "The L Word" because I was I
wanted to tell as many of our stories as I could. But I had a hard time doing
it because the fans of "The L Word" were so dedicated to the
Bette/Tina relationship -- they loved the character of Tina so much. I got so
much anger for letting the Tina go back to men. Because I was in control of it,
I buckled under the pressure. When I had originally envisioned that story I had
just thought of Tina as a person who would have a relationship with Bette and then
when that relationship broke up, her next relationship would be with a man and
I thought I'd get to tell that story. And I didn't get to really explore it in
that way.
