Good lord, Randy hasn't aged a day. He looks amazing! Thank you to the cast! LOVE you all!

You can say that about most of them, actually.

​@@mlee6050 You should watch the reboot, the new 'Justin' isn't Brian-like per se, but he's completely different from Justin. Also, I just meant that Randy looks like a hot 30 something now and can play the role of Brian, he's not a twink anymore

Good God, Randy Harrison is still absolutely GORGEOUS.

They will never understand how important this show was for me as a teenager. I still rewatch it sometimes - the comedic aspect of the show is incredible. It's so nice to see some of the actors still care and still do small reunions! ❤

When her character told Michael that she wished he wasn’t gay after he told her he was dating someone HIV+ was not amazing, in fact it added to the stigma we’re still fighting today.

[@BooBooKittyFuzzyBritches]

@@msbuch72 🤔 Hmm... Humans are flawed & messy. They don't always do or say the right thing when faced with difficult situations. The show was never intended to portray a Gay Utopia of perfect role model characters. Not to mention, it was also filmed 20 years ago. Thankfully, a lot has changed in the world since then. Debbie was Michael's biggest cheerleader & wanted him to have the best life possible. She was also watching her brother Vic die from HIV/AIDS & was his primary caregiver. She knew first hand how devastating it was to watch someone you love get sicker & sicker. She didn't want to see her son go through that crushing heartbreak. Parents make mistakes. They're human. Babies don't come with lifetime instruction manuals on how to handle every situation perfectly. She panicked & lashed out in a moment of intense vulnerability. People do that sometimes. Most of us do our best to learn & grow & do better as we get older. Of course, Michael was in love with Ben & wanted to spend his life with him, no matter how many years that meant. Debbie dealt with her fears, fell in love with Ben too & mothered him just like she did Michael & his friends. The conflict in the story provided a much bigger opportunity for audiences to learn from it. Michael & Ben's relationship showed viewers that they could be together & still keep Michael safe. I'm not sure what more you could've wanted from the show?

[@2004cyrus]

@@msbuch72 I’m watching that very episode before I watched this and wrote this comment to you. Deb comes around to love and accept Ben soon. We have to have conflict in a tv show anyway. So that’s why she disagreed. The show would be boring if there was no rough patches.

[@issae6535]

I loved this show. The writing was phenomenal. As a straight person, I realized how many things I took for granted and it made me do better on how I move in the world.

I want them back together in the show. They are still great. Please make sequel of QAF like 20 years later. Love you, Randy. Miss you, Gale.

[@FionaEm]

I'm straight and absolutely loved this show. It was the characters & drama that drew me in. Their sexuality was important, yet secondary at the same time (if that makes sense!)

[@msbuch72]

It makes sense considering the show was created and marketed to appeal to heterosexual females at the expense of gay people and the issues we were fighting at the time.

[@Dany-nx7th]

@@msbuch72 I didn't know this show was created to appeal to straight females, but hey, it definitely worked for me :) I just thought it was made, you know, for...everyone?

@@chrisrj9871 I think this is why I like this series so much - it is about love, orientation regardless. About people in love. Just like they said in some interview: people came for the queer, but stayed for the folk :)

[@ZachAdamerovich]

I was 12 when this show first aired and I came up with some sort of ploy to convince my parents we needed showtime just so I could watch this show. It was the only time I watched something that could get close to the feelings inside of me. I remember how wrecked I was at the end of the first season.

[@2004cyrus]

That is so awesome. I was 21. Luckily my folks had showtime

[@YimidhiirWakaminPama]

I would’ve been 9 when the first season aired, but I remember running into one of the later seasons when I became a teenager and aware of my sexuality in 2004 (I was 13). So thankful to the writers, cast and crew. It still holds up today.

[@arianapuzzo7827]

This was absolutely amazing! Peacock is failing miserably by not bringing these beautiful souls back onto our screens.

[@2004cyrus]

Why Peacock? It was on Showtime originally.

[@tbecker97204]

It should be on a cable station, like Bravo or one of those, so that *everyone* can enjoy it.

[@alaam.a3760]

I miss them sm, I still rewatch the show it's my FAVORITE and I'll never feel like home or this warm with any other show they were likea family to me, I can't even describe how much I love this show or the cast I just wanna say even if it's 2022 and about to be 2023 after few months, it's still touching and the most incredible shows I've ever watched for real thank you

[@mikaylasmith4181]

I agree. I’ve been watching since I was 14. I’m 22 now. It helped me through some difficult times navigating my sexuality. It’s my comfort show. I’m rewatching the series for the sixth time now. Just can’t get enough. I’m not usually a fan of reboots, but I would do anything to see this show brought back.

[@noahkling4018]

It’s great to see that everyone is doing well. Your courage to be a part of the show enabled viewers to challenge social norms. Your ability to own your characters helped us own our lives.

[@youtubeperson7100]

QAF wasn’t available in Norway, and I was introduced to the show by a friend coming over with a dvd “I just had to see”. I was hooked about 3 minutes in, and we binged the first season in a weekend. Worst cliffhanger EVER, and I had to wait almost 2 years before we could get our hands on the season 2 dvds from Canada… Still madly in love with these characters 🌈

[@Dany-nx7th]

well, I guess season 5 ended with a cliffhanger too...

[@MJC_227]

This was awesome! QAF got me through college and helped me feel a connection the the LGBTQA community that I had no interaction with on a regular basis. The only thing that would have made this reunion better is if Gale Harold was there!

[@vikrantkulkarni1241]

This show was Pathbreaking in the truest meaning of the word. I watched it in 2019 and was blown away since the first scene. Even today in 2021 it holds a special place. Randy has definitely found a fountain of youth. I mean he is 43 years old but still looks gorgeous. I would have loved to see him in many Hollywood movies. All the millions of fans of the show would agree that the kind of relatability and emotions this show projected was remarkable.

I LUV THIS SHOW JUST FOUND SEASON 2 AT A FLEA MARKET WAS SOOO HAPPY LUV ALL THE GUYS SOOOO MUCH

[@kencoleman5007]

Oh, ""Queer as Folk" wasn't available in my house when I was high school. But i did sporadically get to watch "Dawson's Creek" (old school Berlanti) and Popular (by a pre-Nip/Tuck Ryan Murphy). It's amazing seeing how the two have just flourished since then. With the exception of the Ryan Reynolds Green Lantern movie. But I just have to say how happy for, and proud if Carl Nassib I am. The year after I graduated from university, Carl's older brother Ryan started at my college, and Ryan Nassib was integral in turning around Syracuse football. It turned out that the Nassubs were these huge D1 level athletes, and Carl (a junior in Penn State's pre-med program) went from "walk-on" to one of the top defensive players in a famously difficult conference. When (fresh out of college), became a standout player for the Cleveland Browns, I didn't think I could be prouder of him. And, he then becomes the first out gay active player in the NFL's 100 and something seasons! Amazing.

[@megangarciadeleon4554]

Peter Paige is so amazing with his ground breaking on free form!!

[@gregpledge2769]

WOW The cast looks awesome everyone looks amazing!!! Hal love love the long hair on you! QAF was a fantastic show I never missed an episode! I believe some of the locations had been filmed in Toronto in the Church and Wellesley St area my old stomping grounds. It would be great if there was a reunion episode or movie but with the original cast! QAF was groundbreaking at the time and helped a lot of gay people come to terms with their sexuality. It is such a blast to see you all again! :-)

This show defined my 20s when it first came out. It helped me come out to my family and live the gay life (or try to). Michael was very much me back in 2000, xept I had glasses and wasn't as outgoing. I think it was this show alone that spearheaded everything in my life! I mean, I heard about it late in 2000 on early gay social media, but this show was what grew a lot of things for me altogether. So, yeah, thank you so much for all you've done! :)

[@user-hp3yy3mm9y]

I love watching this show. I ended up buying the whole series. I have watched it over and over and it never gets old. This series was and still is so important to me, it helped me get through some challenging times in my life, where I had no support system to come out and actually be myself. You know when a series is really good when you feel like you grow with the Characters. This series actually gave a in your face real look at what we go through and are still going through even to this day, which is the fight to over come homophobia, and our rights for equality, and fighting to keep our right to marry who we want to marry. Thank you all of the cast and everyone who made this possible.

[@Scene68]

I am so wildly disappointed that the powers that be in Hollywood do not want to carry on with these amazing actors and their respective characters for another go-round/continuation, instead of a full-blown fresh reboot on Peacock. Smh... But this show has changed my life in many different ways, and the five seasons still hold up.

@@sebastianlovinger3883 The UK show was never meant to go on longer. They only returned at some point because of demand, but it was written as the show it was, just like they did with it's a Sin.
