Jennifer Beals, Ilene Chaiken #TLWGQ premiere at #TheCastro, 11/17/2022 #BettePorter #Tibette

I wanted to, but I only write what makes you happy and you know to her credit as if she had guided us. through greed and she, you know, kept marching and telling stories and was undeterred by quarantines and closures and all kinds of crazy stuff, she just kept the Train on the track and I think I know we joked about how hard you had it so long to be teased with all those videos and stuff like that, but what? Do you think the Legacy would continue outward, but what is the most impactful Legacy? um uh, when people told me that, I thought, are you kidding me?, there was nothing like it, you know, and I would slap them in the face. a little bit and that would end the discussion, but I want you to talk about what you think it entails from a long-term perspective, and as far as I'm concerned, the L word never ends.

I feel like these characters and these stories are a part of my life and a part of my life we ​​can continue making this show for years to come there may be other shows with L these characters will now have a place in our culture and what I guess it means more to me besides whether or not Beck and Tina are going to get together in the end, I now have daughters who were six when we started doing the show and now they're 27 and their friends watch the show and they get scared by it, and that means both for them and for the first generation, yes, yes, one of the things I had children and two younger children, but my oldest son at NYU is 20 years old.

He says, you know Jennifer Beals and I'm like, yeah, wait, who am I? He knows you don't, he knows, he didn't remember, it was like he was watching him in something, he was popular in something that was great, doesn't he know your name? i reviewed the original no no he doesn't pay attention to anything i do um and he obviously never heard of our chart yeah that's not gross but i'm curious what happened to the show. This was a social network that we should probably revive again because there's an opportunity in the market right now uh that's a good idea, it wasn't a good idea, way ahead, way ahead of its time, wasn't there a show where Alice was he going to prison?

We made a potlit that never went further. Okay, there was a minute where Alice could have killed Jenny, but wow, it's called The Multiverse, um, yes, please, I hope this show goes on and on. I hope you know that there is coming a day when it will be another generation that amazes us. that takes over and I hope the legacy is that love is the loudest sound, that's when you're so far down, but I'll ask you one more question, when you think about the times that we live in now, just uh Nancy Pelosi. She announced that she was no longer going to be spokesperson today, obviously a terrible attack on her husband, Papa Lucio.

I know very well that there was still a resurgence around anti-gay things around his attack, including by Elon, knowing that even though there are all these challenges across the country and against trans people against homosexuals and you can see it being encouraged again. Do you think it's the last stand or it's an ongoing fight right now? When you look at things, I think people are in a different mood this week than they were a week ago because apparently there wasn't a Red Wave um it was what someone said it was a slight trickle it was a slight spotting or something um strange ER that any of we are experts but you are more expert at this than me um I feel like we have come a distance but we have a long way to go and we are going to continue to fight this fight and no matter what the laws are, they will still be people who don't want us. . exist and we will continue to change hearts and minds at the same time, Jennifer, and as time goes on, I think the generations are smarter, more progressive and more loving, based on compassion, and I think you saw. that in the elections and that will be the change and you and there will be some other fight to fight but that you continue day after day and do not take anything for granted absolutely no, yes, there is more, yes, honestly, I believe. lesbians should do everything and now more healing and everyone else and raise all the children very well, no, no, no, I watch a show where Bent and Tina are grandmothers, you know, very, very active grandparents, although alternatively you could have more children.

I had two. during the pandemic, what did you do? I just wanted to say thank you so much, just as a cast and for me personally, I feel how much you love this show, I feel how much you support us and I just want you to know that it has been the ride of a lifetime and I am truly grateful, thank you.
