Daniel Sea on Max’s Return to “The L Word: Generation Q”

“My wish was for Max’s present to reflect more of a life like mine. I don’t hang out with mostly cis people, I don’t hang out with mostly white people. Diverse is such a weird word but my community is mixed and diverse in all sorts of ways. That’s my queer community.”

Against a blue background, purple, bubbly text reads, "Alone Together." Below the text, there are three images of a couple. One person has straight hair and the other has curly hair. The people are pink line drawings filled in with white. In the first image, the couple hold hands and walk together with a tiny pink heart between them. In the next image, the curly-haired person is pregnant and the straight-haired person leans down to listen to their belly. There is a tiny pink heart between them. In the last image, the couple hold their baby in the air. There are two, tiny pink hearts above them.
