Queer As Folk, Remembered

We're sitting here watching Queer As Folk (QAF) the British version, one of the perks of living right by the Tower theatre, Independent and hard to find dvd & video rentals, we've never seen it even though it came out before the American version, It's really good actually and it takes me back to the days when we all used to gather at this great Lounge called Zippers, everyone would be there after a long weekend of partying, we'd all drink beer and sit in those big wing back chairs and watch the adventures of our favorite characters and compare which one we were most like, I was Emmit, a slender, handsome, Queeny, stylish & witty homo, Bobby was michael, the good looking guy next door, I think Dave was Brian Kinny, and I forget the rest, It was a big part of my gay adolescence I'll never forget it, QAF always pushed the limits and really hit topics that were so important to the community, Drugs, Sex, HIV, Gay Marriage, Gay parenting, all things friends and I were going through at the time Scandalous!! I wouldn't trade my twenties for anything, I don't regret any of it... Checkout both the British and American version's if you haven't yet!! I have a couple of the seasons for anyone who wants to borrow them
