Queer is Folk Goes Over Down Under
After all this, Queer as Folk is a welcome relief. In 'Queer' almost everyone has sex. A lot. And there is absolutely no doubt that the characters are homosexuals. Now 'that' is what I call a gay TV series. There have been lots of criticisms of 'Queer', some of which are founded. At first the series was a bit cartoony and the lesbians were particularly boring. Now the lesbians are behaving badly at times as well and the actors inhabit their characters fully…The result is really good television.

Decide not to wait for someone else to take the initiative in stopping something in the dominant society that is hurting us. When we take the lead, we are stepping out of a victim role that is stuck in repeatedly pointing out one unmet need after another, complaining about things not getting done, and deferring action to others. We no longer act as if our lives depend on whether others do or do not take the initiative. Robert N.
