The L Word
Under pressure from Christian group, Saltshakers, Just Jeans, Daimler Chrysler, Roche, Allianz and Centrum have all decided to remove their advertising from Seven and Prime's lesbian drama, The L Word, which contains nudity, explicit sex and slef-insemination.
Lesbians On The Loose editor, Merryn Johns, said, 'There are a lot of images of diversity in pop culture these days and it's disappointing that such big companies would respond to a pathetically small group that nobody has ever heard of and be cowed into reacting that way.'
However, from what I've seen of homosexual representation on television, it's all exagerated and stereotypical anyway. None of the homosexuals I've ever known are anything like those shown in Queer Eye, Will & Grace or The Block. And I think its more likely people would be watching the show hoping to see some sex than to better understand gay culture.
