Most explicit series I have ever seen. 😁

Dana

I'm a total political nerd, so I was like...this is about the Trump lawyer...*that* Trump lawyer. Omg.. ...I have to watch.

Dana

BTW, this series is about real people, and I bet most of the political stuff is accurate because it's all very well documented.

Joe Lancaster

Wow, these men. I'm going to enjoy watching this show 😄

JoriOwOwl

I am terrified for the rest of this series 😂😭

Kate

I had heard about this show because I follow Gaytimes on Instagram and they posted an article about it and I am SO EXCITED that you’re reacting to it and I get to watch the full episodes with you. This first ep….HOOOOO BOY did it set a tone!!! I cannot WAIT for the rest of the show even though I’m pretty sure it’s gonna end me 😭😭😭😭😭

Quidagebo

sh!t, this is gonna hurt

Jamie

I can't wait to watch your reactions. I love this show so far even though it's super heavy and makes my chest ache.

Leslie

This show is beautiful, I agree about the history, you know it, but with this show you get to live it, love your intelligent commentary and vulnerable reactions, I’m right there with you

Sweet baby jesus this show is a heavy hitter, I'm reeling. Two episodes in and I'm knocked flat already. The sheer emotion, backed up by the fact that it's factual - how could people do this to people?!

Jamie

I'll be watching your reaction to Ep 2 tomorrow and will report back!

Leslie

People are saying this show is graphic and they are right, but a lot of people haven’t seen Queer as Folk from Showtime in the late 90’s, if you are young and missed that, go wwtch

Katie

I love this show so far (even though it's an emotional gut punch waiting to happen) and love your reactions to it! I wonder why more poeple aren't reacting to it on YT? I've only seen a few :O

Dana

Oh Cohn. Of the 'he wasn't gay, he wasn't one of those, he just had sex with other men' that always stuck with me. Because Cohn wasn't just surviving, he actively persecuted his own kind. I honestly am interested a lot in his mindset, tbh. All the hearing scenes are accurate, taken from the transcripts.

Dana

Oh, another thing. I really like how the series compares the relationship that Hawk has with his father, to Senator Smith. Smith is more a father to Hawk. It wasn't Hawk's actual father's vitriol that made him want to play straight; it was Smith's love. Hawk didn't want to disappoint or ruin Smith's career. It's both beautiful and tragic.

Katie

<3333 yay!

Queer as Folk was the first canon gay interest show I ever saw, and it almost single-handedly normalized queer sex, affection, and community for my early twenties raised-in-Texas sheltered little brain. We owe that series a LOT. Literally twenty years ahead of its time (and paved the way for The L Word to make its mark, of course).

Jamie

I'm curious to find out what Tim did to eff things up between them so badly the first time ("so I can eff it up again").

Rachel

you should recommend Fellow Travelers to Jeanet

Giulia De Nobili

right? the fact that he knew that not even the good and decent father figure would have accepted him is probably the main reason why he never came out, he internalized so much shame... I believe when he talked to the conversion therapy doctor he was asking for himself, he was almost hoping he would find a cure... my heart breaks for him. like it breaks when i see that even Marcus can't let go completely of his fears to participate to the gay rights walks... their time broke them beyond measure!

Anais Winter

I looked up the full poem recited in ep 2 and cried my queer little heart out.

Anais Winter

i am gonna need a lotta ao3 au or fix it stories after this
