** At the end of season 1 Jenny (who earlier in the season was torn between her long-time male partner and the first woman she was attracted to) is involved at the same time with both a man and a woman. Both of them are aware of the other and it seems to be shaping up into an interesting poly relationship. However the writers seem to have decided not to pursue the the possibilities of this storyline and Season 2 begins with the guy breaking up with her because she's clearly more interested in women (later on, Jenny's sexuality gets complex again when she is dating a UsefulNotes/{{transgender}} man in the process of transitioning).

* HandSignals: Jodi is deaf and speaks using ASL. Bette learned this language, too, so she could communicate with Jodi, after [[spoiler:they become a couple]]. We are also treated to a silent shouting match between Jodi and her ex which [[FlippingTheBird culminated in a sign that required no proficiency in a sign language to understand]], and a little bit of actual shouting which included dual [[PrecisionFStrike f-bombs]].

* OneDropRule: Mixed race Bette and fully black Yolanda discuss racial politics one episode, and at one point Yolanda [[InvokedTrope brings this up]] to tell Bette why Bette is still considered 'black'. Bette retaliates by [[ArmorPiercingQuestion asking]] [[DefiedTrope if she's going to let White America define her identity.]] Bette notes that she could [[HidingYourHeritage pass for white]], but never does, consciously embracing having black heritage and always calling herself biracial rather than to deny either of her parents implicitly.
