    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Executive producers Ron Cowen and Daniel Lipman said they encountered an extreme amount of homophobia from other Hollywood industry professionals, during the pre-production and casting process for this television series.
    • Goofs
      There is a hexagon shaped window on the wall between Debbie's front door and the stairs that lead upstairs. In season 1 this window was clear and you could see 'daylight' coming through it. In subsequent seasons the glass panes of this window were covered in gay pride colors and had a non-see-through look. When you see the outside porch and front door of Debbie's house, her house is a semi-detached home with the other half of the house attached to the wall that has the window.
    • Quotes
      • Brian Kinney: I don't believe in love; I believe in fucking. It's honest, it's efficient. You get in and out with the maximum of pleasure and minimum of bullshit. Love is something straight people tell themselves they're in so they can get laid, and then they end up hurting each other because it was all based on lies to begin with.
    • Crazy credits
      "Queer As Folk is a celebration of the lives and passions of a group of gay friends. It is not meant to reflect all of gay society."
