What We Learned From Queer As Folk

No holds barred, In your face, NO apologies no regrets. QUEER is here
and Queer is staying....in your homes, in your lives and
in your heart.
Almost three years ago the final season of this ground breaking show
came to an end. Or did it? Each one of us here still love the show,
watch it, think about it, write about it, squee over it
maybe we even have a wank war or two over it
Why are we still here? Why does Queer as Folk still draw in new
viewers, and new fans all of the time. Is it because it is all about
sex, or is it because each one of us learned something from this show.
The characters and their story lines CHANGED us. Made us view
ourselves in a different way. This show challenged us to get in our
own faces, to look inside of ourselves no holds barred and captivate
us.
Each of us saw Queer as folk through our own perspective and paradigm.
We saw a show that made us think of who we are, what we want, what we
value, who and what makes a family and most importantly, who we love.
The
as Folk. Come on and join us. Let the class begin!
