Queer history lesson submitted by Aimless on July 20, 2019, 11:55pm Who remembers being queer in the 90’s?
If you don’t, or you need a reminder, please watch queer as folk.

It is hilarious and well written, but reminds you how far we have come!

Like the queer Friends submitted by Beatlesfan04 on July 23, 2022, 12:04am I know that this series has not aged particularly well, but for it's time, it was groundbreaking. It is also a great time capsule for queer life in the 90s and early 2000s. It's still one of my comfort shows.
