Jennifer Beals talks about explaining the L Word to her stepkids

Jennifer Beals says that, yeah, she had some concerns about being in "The L Word." "It was my first lesbian part and there's a huge lesbian stereotype,'' she says. "What's great about this series is that it represents a multiplicity of gay women." She also talks about explaining her work to her two stepchildren, whose mother belongs to a conservative church. "Sometimes the pastor tells the children that God doesn't love homosexuals," she says. "The children know that's absurd. ... They understand that it is really about loving someone." Sometimes it's about loving two someones: Naturally the photo with this article is from the episode when Bette and her partner got crazy-desperate and brought home a guy to try to get pregnant.
