When asked what TV SERIES' cast consisted of Characters that I would have wanted to be friends with, when I was 25......immediately, QAF came to mind....

            

                Interestingly, the British QUEER AS FOLK Series, which predated the American Series, was even racier, although it's characters were less likeable.....excepting Charlie Hunnam,  perhaps....who set the mold for Randy Harrison's later interpretation.....

alas...when I was 25, the Celluloid Closet was big enough to contain all these characters, behind 'closed doors'........
