Martina versus the lesbians

Martina Navratilova allegedly considers TV shows like "The L Word" to be "depraved." That's the claim in documents filed to fight the tennis star's lawsuit against Do Tell Inc., the folks behind the Rainbow affinity credit card. Navratilova claims the company refused to stop using her image after she demanded they cease and desist. (Details here.)

The counterclaim, according to this reputable site, insists that "Navratilova objected to the Rainbow Card being associated with the cable television soap operas 'The L Word' and 'Queer as Folk' on the Showtime channel. In January, Navratilova allegedly told the top officers of Do Tell Inc. that she no longer approved of any association between the Rainbow Card and the Showtime programs. According to the defence answer, filed last week, Navratilova called the shows 'depraved' and said she believes 'The L Word' falsely represents lesbians."
