Queer as Folk, a drama based on Britain's controversial series, is about the lives of a group of gay men and women living in Pittsburgh. Focusing on their relationships, their careers, their loves and ambitions, the series is a brave, realistic, funny and sometimes graphic portrayal of society. We discover characters as real as the people next door doing everyday jobs, raising a child, looking forward to the weekend -all with a strong and healthy interest in romance and sex.
