“I fucked the priest!” — Sarah Finley

Tensions are running high for our L.A. queers—and it’s about time! In this episode of Off The Chart: Generation Q, we process the third episode of The L Word‘s beloved reboot: Dani and Sophie are still sparring over wedding plans, Finley freaks out when she realizes she’s sleeping with a minister, Bette and Angie face off over public school and Shane can’t stop being a fuckboy. At least Megan Rapinoe shows up. Is it hot in here, or is it just us?

Episode notes and extras:

Inside the Metropolitan Community Church, a queer-friendly haven for more than 50 years
How Grindr changed the way the world dated
The last time we saw Tina Kennard invigorated: at a lesbian oil wrestling match
Megan Rapinoe: Sports Illustrated’s Sportsperson of the Year for 2019
