The end of this season’s The L Word: Generation Q brought us the next step in Micah and Maribel’s baby-making quest—plus celebrity lesbian moms! But what did I think was the best parenting storyline of the season?
As the parent of a college student, I can offer The L Word: Generation Q’s Bette and Tina this firm advice: Never drop in at your child’s dorm unannounced.
I’m not even going to search for a parenting quote from the episode to use in this post title—the episode title itself says it all, and this episode was packed with themes of family and parenting. Here’s my take.
I skipped Episode 6, which had little about parenting, so we’re on to Episode 7, which brings us Rosie O’Donnell being parental, plus the well-worn trope of “wacky potential sperm donor situations.”

The fourth episode of this season’s The L Word: Generation Q centered a joyous look at transgender, nonbinary parents and their kids, discussed LGBTQ parental names, which I’ve been collecting for over a decade, and mentioned the restaurant of a queer chef who has a picture book about her. Here’s my parenting-focused recap!
Parenting can be challenging. And parents can be challenging. Both struggles were highlighted in the third episode of this season’s LW:GQ, featuring Actual Queer Parent™ Kehlani. Let’s explore—and look at some real-life resources.
Several characters in the latest LW:GQ faced the question “Are you ready to be a parent?” I explore their responses—and offer some resources for those asking themselves the same question in real life!
College drop off can be tough, and the third season premiere of The L Word: Generation Q gave me flashbacks. As always, I’m here with commentary on the LW:GQ parenting storylines.
The season finale of The L Word: Generation Q answered a few questions but asked more. Let’s wrap up the parenting storylines of the season.
