I'm sure I'm not the only person who winced and cringed during a particularly shocking scene from The Real World Homecoming: Los Angeles's sixth episode. The scene in question occurs when some of the original season two cast members - which include Tami Roman, Jon Brennan, Beth Stolarczyk, Beth Anthony, David Edwards, Glen Naessens, and Irene Berrera-Kearns - attempt to play a friendly game of "fishbowl," and it gets off to an awfully intense start.
During the end of the episode, things take a sharp turn when a query about the Black Lives Matter movement and George Floyd comes up - particularly asking about Brennan's views on these topics as a white conservative. Brennan, a missionary who lives in Alabama, acknowledges that there are white people in America who are racist, but he seemingly contradicts his statement when he refers to the kids he ministers to as "young, Black,...

Once upon a time, 19 years ago, in a faraway land south of Houston Street in Manhattan, seven strangers were brought together in a fancy loft to have their lives taped "to find out what happens when people stop being polite, and start getting real." Coming from disparate backgrounds, these seven young adults examined issues such as race, sexual orientation and other social and cultural differences. The inaugural Real World, Real World: New York, aired in 1992, the year of the Los Angeles Riots, and racial tensions bubbled to the surface in the Real World house, culminating in a heated confrontation between African American cast member Kevin Powell and white southerner Julie Gentry.
Arguably the most memorable season in Real World history was Season 3: Real World San Francisco. HIV positive Pedro Zamora, who had already testified about HIV education before Congress, joined the cast, bringing awareness about HIV and AIDS to a national audience.

The Real World was the original reality show, debuting on MTV in 1992. And from the very first season in Los Angeles, there was a lesbian. Beth Anthony came into replace a housemate who left during filming, and she was instantly the first out lesbian on reality TV.
Now in its 26th season, The Real World has played host to several members of the Lgbt community, including 10 women who are out lesbians or bisexual women. (This, of course, is not including the women of Road Rules or those who make out with women on camera but still consider themselves straight.) And on the new season in San Diego, premiering September 28, we'll meet Sam McGuinn, a butch 21-year-old from Virginia.
So where are all those women now?
