As folk, there is love
it's a drama about love.
This is a drama about family, friendship and love.
It's a TV show where a boy grows into a man.
This is also a TV series in which a few people fight for freedom and equality.
"queer as folk", comrades are also ordinary people, no different from ordinary people, because there is love.
Thinking of Ang Lee's words, "Everyone has a Brokeback Mountain in their hearts", and the poignant love between Jack and Ornis has survived under the Brokeback Mountain.
Thinking of "Lan Yu", Liu Ye was moved when he hugged Hu Jun and said, "You've lost weight".
I think of Bai Xianyong, the swan song of the soul-stirring love - "The Evil Son".
Think of Leslie Cheung, the fall of a dazzling star on April Fool's Day.
Reminds me of the handsome Wu Yanzu in "Love of a Beautiful Boy".
Think of all men who are related to love. Nothing wrong, nothing special, it's all about love.
"queer as folk" began showing in 2000 and lasted for five years and five seasons. Our protagonists grew up over the five years and then were changed.

When the iceberg meets the sun - Brian and Justin
finally understand why people sometimes like to compare other people's smiles to sunshine, when they smile, the world will be bright, there will be no haze, that is our little Justin. He has a charming big smile and blonde hair and blue eyes, so everyone in the play calls him sunshine affectionately.
The best handsome guys in the world may have a common problem, that is, arrogance, and so does Brian. With a successful career, brilliant talents, and an extremely beautiful face and a perfect figure, God must have given him a favor beyond ordinary people when he created him. It is said that he is a beast without feelings. He has sex with people everywhere. In his own words, it is "just for fun". When people are lonely, they need to find a way to relieve them. Friends love him, but he hides his feelings in his soul, so to outsiders, Brian is an iceberg that will never melt until our sunshine comes along.
They met on an ordinary night, and they had a tangled love story. Justin gave Brian his first sex and love, but to Brian, the little boy in front of him was no different from the sleepover every night, the difference was that the boy was only 17 years old, and that night he had Two boys, his own son, and Justin.
"save the last dance for me", the singing sounded, and the two handsome people danced gracefully under the surprised and fearful eyes of others. Soft lighting, soft melody, pink scarves floating back and forth with their dance, what a beautiful scene. This is the first time Brian has shown his love for Justin at Justin's prom. This is the end of the first season.
It was a party again. In the club, Justin left with his new boyfriend. Brian looked at this scene helplessly and sadly with a blindfold on. Are the blindfolds filled with tears? At that time, his heart may have felt pain. This is the end of the second season.
After a lap, Justin finally returned to Brian's side, and finally realized that the person he loved the most was still Brian, even without any commitment, he was still very happy with him, so it was like going out for a lap, and finally came home . This is the end of the third season.
After Uncle Vic's death, Brian went through a battle with cancer and had an epiphany about life and death. In Brian's attic, Brian told Justin that after all this, he wanted to move in together. Justin was stunned at the time, so a sunny smile, "This sentence is what I have been looking forward to since the first time I came here." This is the end of the fourth season.
After the explosion, Brian frantically looked for justin and said the sentence "i love you" that Justin had been waiting for for five years. Only then did he realize how important justin was to him. However, the two decided not to get married because they didn't want the other to sacrifice anything for themselves. For Brian, the sacrifice was freedom, while Justin's career. In fact, Brian has changed a lot since then, all of which he is willing to change, so as far as marriage is concerned, he is not afraid of losing his freedom, but he does not want Justin to lose his career. Justin may have misunderstood this time and didn't fully understand Brian's heart. After J left, when everything was silent, in the noisy club, Brian on the stage, a lot of loneliness and sadness. The whole play is over.
When the iceberg meets the sun and turns into water, there are all kinds of tenderness.

God favors kind children -
Michael Michael is a kind child who loves cartoons and has a childlike innocence. He contrasts sharply with Brian, emotionally exposed and sentimental. Having been in love with Brian for sixteen years, the feeling has never been reciprocated. Brian actually loved him, but he didn't express it. He also knew that Michael could find someone better than him to take care of him, so Brian never dared to respond to this feeling.
Michael is very cute, his smile is the same as that of little Justin, he loves caring and helping people, and he is a man worthy of love.
So there is Dr. Dvide, and there is Professor Ben. Eventually married ben, adopted a boy, and created a daughter of his own with their good friend mel. Finally, he became a wife and lived a stable and happy life.
Michael is happy. God always favors good people and gives good people the happiness they want.
There is also emmet, who has always been his own personality, dare to love and hate. Ted is the person who has experienced the most. He has been to the police station and the drug rehab center. His love is always traumatized, but he is also living his own life bravely.
There is also a great mother Debby in the play, a mother who always supports her children.
In fact, comrades are no different from ordinary people. Love and hatred are the same for them. The difference is that they are still fighting for their equality and freedom. They have to be accepted by society, accepted by God, and accepted by their families, all of which require effort and sacrifice.
There is a saying that I like very much, "I like you, not because you are a man, but just because you happen to be a man." Love has nothing to do with anything, only the heart.
As folk, there is love.
