Showtime’s “The L Word” Prompts $1 Million Donation to Breast Cancer Research

AfterEllen.com is reporting that an anonymous donor sent in a check for $1 million to the Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation to fund groundbreaking intraductal research.

The donation was made to honor actresses Leisha Hailey and Erin Daniels. The two played a couple whose relationship on Showtime’s awesome lesbian drama the L Word was cut tragically short by breast cancer.

The donor has promised to match every dollar donated to the Erin Daniels and Leisha Hailey Breast Cancer Fund in 2008 and 2009.

As the ladies at After Ellen so brilliantly put it, “Now THAT’S a Power Lesbian!”
