I know it! Steven is a beautiful soul. He's so loving, caring and gentle. We learn to care about him deeply as we watch the movie and we can feel his pain. This shows just how powerful and well made this movie is.

The Brits make so many more gay movies than the Americans seem to, I wonder why? :-\

I've wondered this too. Perhaps they are more enlightened than we are over here. Or perhaps they are more willing to take a risk on making a movie based on a controversial subject for many people.
British movies are always very good too. So are their television series. I also love Australian movies. :D

I saw the opening credits of the original quuer as folk last night - ie the UK one - which was ground breaking drama at Channel 4 (a non pay per view channel) at the time.
I hadn't realised who wrote it. RusseL T Davies - as in the man behing the brilliant new 3 seasons of Doctor Who!
That man is very good at his job I tell you!

Hi Susie and Kelda! :D
I have never seen the UK Queer As Folk; only the American version. My boyfriend has seen the UK one though and he told me it's very good; much better than the American one. So, I'm sure I'd like it. Maybe they will air it here someday.
Kelda, I'm familiar with Channel 4. Many of the programs airing here in the US are from Channel 4 in the UK. Often times, the shows on the Discovery Channel and TLC (The Learning Channel) are originally from Channel 4. Even Super Nanny which airs on CBS is from Channel 4. It says so at the end of the show. I've always enjoyed the Channel 4 programs. They are very good. :)
