Whether you liked it or not, QAF was a groundbreaking show. There had never been anything like it on television. I definitely am in the "loved it" camp. I am truly sad to see it go. I got so annoyed with the nay-sayers out there. "That doesn't represent me"...bullshit. We all know an Emmet or a Ted or a Ben. And I can guarantee we all know a Brian...the gay community is full of Brians. I think the people that didn't like the show felt that way because it was too much a mirror to themselves. Was it perfect? Of course not. It still is Hollywood and still had to be entertaining and titillating. That being said, this is one of the few shows out there that I really got into. And I got teary-eyed as Sunday's show came to a close. Does that make me an emotional putz? Maybe, but I wouldn't want to be any other way. :)
