L Word Recap 7: "Lonestar"

Wednesday February 22, 2006
This week on The L Word we learned all about Gold Star Lesbians and Lone Star Lesbians. Turns out both Shane and Carmen are Gold Stars. A while back when I published the definition of Gold Star, I received an email from someone who thought calling someone a Gold Star was offensive, because it implied that those who were not Gold Stars were less than. After all, it is the top finisher who wins the gold medal in the Olympics. Hmm...It is something to think about. Anyway, here is the latest L Word recap: Episode 7, "Lonestar."

Definitions: Gold Star Lesbian, Lone Star Lesbian.
