Leisha Hailey og Kate Moennig So Gay for You

In the early 2000s, Kate Moennig and Leisha Hailey met at auditions for an unknown TV show. Given that it was a show about lesbians living in Los Angeles, with the first ever ensemble cast of openly queer female characters, Kate and Leisha knew the project was going to be unlike anything else out there—if it even got picked up. Then, one million people watched the premiere. The L Word turned into a trailblazing phenomenon, influencing pop culture, the political arena, and the lives of countless viewers. And in addition to changing the course of television history, The L Word changed Kate and Leisha's lives forever. Suddenly, they were the faces of lesbian culture in a society still hostile to queerness. And one of them wasn't even out yet. Luckily, they had each other. From their first day on set, Kate and Leisha were so inseparable that the cast joked they were like a pair of pants—you couldn't have one leg without the other. This friendship has seen them through innumerable highs and lows, stumbling from closeted queer kids to LGBTQ+ activists, actors, podcasters, and business owners. Full of glimpses into the making of The L Word , Kate and Leisha's real-life loves and losses, and their experiences as queer icons, So Gay for You is a heartfelt, inspiring love letter to a ride or die friendship over the decades, and a testament to the liberating power of chosen family.
