Queer as Folk became an accumulator of headboard notches.

"Overnight, Brian Kinney (played by Gale Harold), the berstud of ""Queer as Folk,"" became an accumulator of headboard notches that would put Samantha Jones to shame and that made her double-entendres seem like an also-ran's at a drag contest. A gay coterie in Pittsburgh in Queer As Folk followed Brian's lead: Emmett, the shop girl who dreams of stardom; Ted, the repressed accountant who loves Callas; Michael, the comic-book enthusiast and doormat; Justin, the boy wonder who just might be an Important Artist in Queer As Folk. In short order the woes of this clique found a predictable rhythm. Queer As Folk introduced new loves (a gazillionaire sugar daddy, a classical music virtuoso, a closeted football star), each of whom upset the balance among this ersatz family of friends. Each satellite romance met some resolution in Queer As Folk, always with a rainbow-bannered lesson."
