Queer as Folk: the ultimate episode guide.
QUEER AS FOLK has pushed, shredded, and defined the envelope when it comes to television portrayals of gay and lesbian lives, stories, and sexuality on the small screen. As the series continues to shatter boundaries and take risks, The Advocate looks back at Showtime's adaptation of the hit British drama with the up-to-date episode guide imaginable: Relive Brian's Babylon tricks, Emmett's outrageous outfits, and, of course, Debbie's salty life lessons.
SEASON ONE episode 101 Brian, in the middle of violating the virginal 17-year-old Justin, is summoned to the hospital as his son is being born to his old friend Lindsay and her lesbian lover, Melanie.
