In class, we have learned about the importance of living in a multicultural and diverse universe. I have decided to work with the 2019 television show, The L Word: Generation Q, which is a reboot of the original series The L Word, which premiered in 2004. The L Word: Generation Q is a showcase on how the mainstream media in the United States and Across the world has evolved in 15 years over the depictions of the LGBTQ community. The show is mainly comprised of the Latino and Black communities in the United States, giving them a representation in the film industry (Blackwood & Purcell, 2014). The L Word: Generation Q tells people not to be in denial of their sexuality or ashamed of it but should instead come out and stop living the lives in shadows. The unintended social message is how sex is used in reclaiming our desires and redeeming ourselves (Hobson, 2013). I believe that without sex, human beings can achieve this.
The social message from the tv show is that all LQBTQ men and women should come up in the open, and embrace their sexuality without fear while leading happy lives. Although the characters in the tv show are satisfied with the careers, relationships and achievements, they still make the same mistakes and then end up regretting the decisions they made later. The social implication of this message to young people should be that they are allowed to make mistakes in order to learn and become better individuals in their careers and lifestyles. The L Word: Generation Q is a representation of the LGBTQ culture and the scenarios that they face in a racist and sexist world in order for them to succeed and survive. The tv show creates a space in which the world should be more accommodating to the LGBTQ community in matters of marriage and children.
