As much as you probably hear this from every lesbian who's ever watched The L Word, I just want to thank you for your gift. You gave us a voice and also gave the public a view of lesbian life/relationships not completely dependent on our sexuality. I'm a mixed race lesbian from Virginia and without that show, I don't know how I would've ever come out or even truly accepted myself as NORMAL. There was no one like me. I'm 27, I've moved to LA, and I came out to my religious, republican parents two days ago. I'm not ashamed and I'm not hiding! So thank you for being that voice I didn't have, that face to look up to, and the inspiration to live my life happily. Woman, you rock!!!!

But, this is an AMA, so I should ask a question. Was there a single, most significant film, tv show, or piece of art that made a surprising impact on your life? (As an artist, I'm sure your answer is yes, of course) What is it?

And THANK YOU. See you in Dinah Vegas!! (Haha, riiiight)

'We don't serve anyone by hiding our light under the bed'

That's incredibly poetic and inspiring. Thanks for your reply and I'll absolutely be backing your campaign(s).
