Yes, imagine what the producers would have thought, seeing a few years into the future, & catching an episode of "Queer As Folk"...Justin, Brian & co. did WAY more than just kissing in that :)
@Kaluthrica yes but that was on cable.....I have watched Queer as fold...and they could never have gotten away that stuff on network tv.....society dictates what is acceptable and 2 men are not acceptable...
Amanda is so beautiful in her 'balloon' scene with Dex. But I wonder what it would've been like if Amanda had been present when Sable came around to have her own fling with Dex?
If that was a new episode in this day and age they would have kissed passionately on the lips. I find it depressing in the 80s kissing between 2 men to be considered taboo. thank god we dont have to endure that any longer.
RE: the Steven/boyfriend thing. It would have been much better and so less cringey had the director just had them going in for the killer kiss and then cutting at that point; rather than have those stupid brotherly hugs.
@ReeseyLee Here Here! I thought that whilst watching this episode! I was like "why haven't these two kissed yet?" and then I thought back to when Luke was on the show, we never saw Steven kiss Luke either :| It's not an 80s thing, because in a soap in the UK, there was a gay couple that lived together and they kissed and stuff, so it's not like it's an 80s thing :/
Actually we learn later in one of the reunion shows that Steven and Bart become domestic partners and reside in DC together. Looks like Barts it for Steven.
As for Sammy Jo, if I were Blake, I'd banish the tramp from Denver for ever!
Geez 14 hour flight from Denver to Australia in 1986??? These days even with just one stopover in LA it takes 18hrs at least. Qantas must be slipping. You'd think flight technology would've got better not worse.....hahaha!
@yvan380 I'm straight and i find it totally stupid and insulting to the viewers intelligence but that is all the censors would let them get away with.....not much has changes since then because other than cable u would not see 2 men kissing on a major network....shame because what is the fucking big deal....anyone that would believe to people who are attracted to each other would simply hug is a fool.
Lol!! I love the production team's little inside joke about Amanda state of mind. Those candy colored balloons look like decoration for a child's eigth birthday party.
I nice visual segway coming after Blake's repremand.

It really is sad to consider how long networks were free to show two men killing each other, but never two men kissing each other.

Blake doesn't know crap about raising children, esp. daughters (well how could he, he's had servants do it).

@solitairecat I'm sure she was flying in her private jet, hence no stopovers and shorter flight.

I love the way that gay people do not kiss but always hug...they must have some weird sex in a Dynasty based gay world.

There wasn't a gay kiss on television until Will & Grace. I guess people thought kissing was just was too out there.

@zedslivingdead I think the fact that they even had gay characters was amazing added with the fact that they repeatedly brought it to the forefront.

i totally agree
Being gay myself i find this "hug" thing ridiculous
But perhaps that's all they could show on TV in the 80's
