I think Peter is overstating that this is a real picture of gay life..80% of gay people do not live like this...hell half the gay population is closeted and married or has a life partner
i didn't like Larry King's tone. Even from the start while he was introducing them. He went on like, "We have this actor, who plays this role on the show and he's gay blah blah and they are the only gays on the gay show blah blah." It felt like a news headlines or something. Then when the questions started, it wasn't an interview. It was like an interrogation at a police station or something. WEIRD. Is he a homophobe? Maybe Cody and his Pink Posse should get to him?
Larry King is too old to juggle and interview this many people all at the same time. His 'chicken soup-moth balls' brain cannot manage to compute this much noise, going on about gay sex.
If Larry was so against by anything to do with gay,I highly doubt he'd have broadcast and promoted the QAF product to such a vast audience of CNN viewers i.e. potentially millions.We mustn't construe old-skool as old-fashioned.His confirmations regarding if they're str8 or gay in real life was only also to quench the curiosity of 99.9% of what viewers wanted to know anyway.It was well pointed out by Larry and complimentary to the str8 actors playing gay as it is such a challenge to do so.
You could really see/hear how Gale is annoyed by Larry's "So it's acting?" at 1.07 and how Gale says "Of course it's acting, yeah." And I guess Larry got scared and quickly moved to "Hal?" by asking his opinion LOL. Anyway, these people are actors (actually, great actors) and why would Larry want to question that? Anyway, I love the character "Brian Kinney." Brian is the most unique and a special character ever. Also love Justin Taylor (both are perfect TOGETHER).
Larry King is an asshole. He keeps interrupting them, which is totally impolite, he keeps focusing on their sexuality, and what the hell!? Against Gale's natural behaviour/whatever? Gosh, I hate that guy.
You guys are reading way too much into how you think Larry is acting. From what I see he's just being truthful with the actors, which a lot of interviewers don't do and instead tip toe around particular topics and any statements that they make about the cast. If anything, I'm glad he's addressing and asking them so straight forwardly about themselves and the show, otherwise I'd never be able to hear their honest to God answers on these issues. I seriously doubt Larry was "disgusted" by the show.
you can just tell that larry king was disgusted by the whole idea. I hate the idea he kept focussing on their sexuality and not really adressing it as the amazing, ground breaking show that it is. It's also strange their only focussing on the gay men aspect of it, not the gay women side of it. Urgh..i hate larry king so much. I do however love queer as folk (:
primo: i love Justin and Brian together, that's for sure, but i really like it when Brian and Michael kiss.. it's just so.. i don't know, tender, and knowing, that Michael has always been in love with Brian makes it even more dramatic ;D
secundo: i think it actually DOES matter here whether they're straight or not, because it changes their point of view and stuff.. of course, you all are right, there's no need to say that EVERY time he asks anyone about anything, and that guy is a real asshole.
Larry king is a serious asshole! why does he always have to refer to their sexual orientation? its acting and they all did a fantastic job!! so what if gale and hal are straight or randy and peter are gay . . they all did their jobs brilliantly and made a really brilliant show!!
Hal looks so natural and loving in his intimate scenes as Michael. You'd never know it was a little hard for him. These are very brave men who did groundbreaking things.
Okay,for a moment there I,like,forgot that this is in real life,and I was like "DEBBIE!?!WTF!!!WHAT ARE YOU DOIN'!! Get up and show that homophobic di*k Larry where to shove his interview" ...
Wow, crawler @ bottom talking about Guantanamo "Pen" almost being completed. I am rewatching to see all the propaganda-it's very interesting. I recommend watching the vid again just to pay attention to the crawler...
I don't like how he cuts off the guys when they're speaking... I understand some sattelite lag, but he cut Peter completely off, and Peter's in that studio with him.
I know that my comment won't change the world , but it's sad that there are still people as judgmental as Larry King in the entertainment industry , anyway I don't hate him or anything , but I find it kind of sad , for him to be this way especially since he is probably surrounded by gays everyday , due to the "nature" of his job .
i dont no what the big deal is about larry king and wat he says...because when this interview was on tv people wanted to no who was gay and who wasnt...and they wanted to no if it was difficult to play...hes not trying to be an arsehole, just understand them.
Why is Larry personally taking their Sexuality again and again?? He anyones me a lot...Cmon! Gay or Straight! who cares..We are talking about the characters and the show "Queer As Folk"
While I do hate the way Larry King is acting i understand it.
Hes just acting and asking the same questions any other older straight homophobic man would. He doesnt understand why straight actors would take this role...its sad...
Mr King seems INCREDIBLY homophobic here... So much emphasis on the actors' sexualities, but really, who cares who they choose to love, they're great in QAF! Oh well, homophobic, American old men! Who cares about them, really?
@Caradog93 sorry for bringing this up but can't you guys stop saying who you "choose" to love ...that's what makes people think you actually can choose to be gay or not...i'm pretty shure you didn't mean it like that but some people understand it like this...and there is nothing to choose, gay or str8, you can't choose who to love (sorry for possible spelling mistakes)
interviewing 101- when you ask the interviewee a question, give them time to answer it before shoving another one of your biased questions down their throats. Watching this interview made me so irritated with Larry King....smdh.
I like what the actors are saying but Larry King is bugging me. QaF is one of the best shows I've seen hands down. You know, it's sad because later in the interview I think he says Robert Gant is straight.
I really can't stand larry king. He's an ass pointing out they're all straight and asking how difficult it is. I do, however, love Peter Paige and Gale Harold. (Ok I love them all damnit!) They're just amazing and I really miss this show.
Actually Larry is all about giving people all the rights that str8 people have.

But i do agree that this episode was a little tense for him lol, probably because the show was carrying such a magnitude that he wanted to present the show in a tasteful manner without much controversy. That's just my 2 cents
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
No he doesn't. Not all gays are north american nor do they go out to their local gay club(if there such a club) and fuck every single night. In fact MOST gay people don't do that. The fights they had in season 3 against the closing of back rooms in clubs and the radical way in which they portraited straight people...pathetic. This show made all of us gays look like a new specie of sperm consuming mammals who in order to live must remain in the surounding of dancing shirtless men.
I never said "all" gays, or that gays hook up "every" night. I'm just agreeing that the life style portrayed is true, it's what the mainstream gay culture is about. Of course not all gays live by that lifestyle. People who disagree with what is being portrayed in the show are either not into the life style, or are ashamed of having their life style exposed.
It needs to be said in reply to your comment that what you're referring to is only a portion of QAF (mainly the first and second seasons). If you'd actually watched the show in its entirety you would realize that not all of the characters enjoy going out and clubbing every night and taking drugs. The show is about so much more than that. Being together, being different, being human in a world where other humans are being rejected because of stereotypes.
This is America. An old grandpa trying to interview Actors from a "not normal" TV series. Always interrupting and not knowing the names of the actors. Time to retire old man !!
Brian: Pop quiz, no talking. Here's the question. Multiple choice. Do you want to come home with me? A, yes; B, yes; or C, yes. Tick, tick, tick, time's up. Pencils down. What do you say?
It's kinda funny to hear Hal admit that the acting was hard, because he looked so comfortable as Michael. Of course that's because he's a great actor. :)
I was so looking forward to seeing this interview, but Larry just annoys the hell out if me. What does it matter if they are straight or gay? It's like he had a set number of times he was suppposed to say "gay" and "straight".
do you remember what brian kinney always sad: if you want to sell something you have to make it sexy. these clips from the show (you can only see those sex scenes) are the best promotion for the tv-show... so maybe after that interview a lot mor people will watch and see the more important aspects like family, growing up, partnership and friendship... think positive :)))))
but i have to admit: i hate larry kings interview style.
Larry King is kind of bugging me by always saying "gale, you as a staight actor" or "Randy, you as a gay actor"....their sexual orientation doesn´t matter at all because its acting.... even sex scenes between men and women are not that easy to play....it is stupid assuming that only because randy is gay that these scenes are easy to play for him because there are alway many other people watching... sex scenes are always "tough" to play...
@LilliPeach I can see what you're saying here but Larry King is trying to clearly make the point that he is only pointing it out as it has so few gay actors on a show mainly about gay men and women. And each persons personal situation does reflect in some ways on their portrayal of these characters.
@LilliPeach He isn't saying ''its easier for you to do sex scenes because your gay'' he is merely pointing out, as the actors agree, that for some of them it'll be a bigger stretch from their 'norm' as they will have different feelings about playing a different sexuality vs fairly portraying their own sexuality and that community
@zingster24 Totally. Just an old man stuck in the irrational discriminations of his time. He didn't evolve with time. I love open minded old people, but that's not his case. He's exactly what I don't want to become when I get old.
I like how Gale answers Larry's question about was it tough to make love to a man on screen, it really shows that he is a professional and doesn't see any difference between playing a straight man making love to a woman and a gay man making love to a man. Go Gale!
These critics are just idiots,the QAF reflects the real gay single life,which is partying,sex and drugs,we all were singles one time,we ve been there,we ve done that,also the show shows how these caracteres has grown up as adults,settleed down,have parteners,live happy,I totally agree with Peter
why are all of his clips related to sex scenes? What about the other parts of the show? He's trying to show qaf in a bad light, really D: I mean, yeah, there are a lot of those scenes, but there are cleaner, humorous parts...He's making it out to be a porno or something...
I totally agree with Peter. QAF depicted the gay scene and lifestyle very accurately. It has frustrated me for 20 odd years now that there is so always so much emphasis on sex, alcohol, drugs, partying and body image in gay bars and clubs. It's a very fickle scene and I could relate to many of the episodes. I like being gay but I beleive we are our own worst enenmy. Mardi gras or gay parades do not help our cause either!
I don't totally agree with what Peter said. Yes the things on QaF are real, they happen all the time, but not every gay person does these things, which is what he seemed to be saying.
Do you think that its strange for a straight girl to want Gale to be gay? I think he is soo hot but I jus want him to be gay!!!!!!!!Gay men well not the too mascualar ones are hot
Ok, I LOVE QAF because of Gale and Randy (justin and brian) just their love story and the SEX! I know its gay sex (and i'm a girl AND straight lol!) but it was so hot O.O I think i might have issues lol anyways!!
I think that Gale is just a wonderful commited actor maybe thats what he wanted, to cause these effect in viewers, so he'd get more attention as an actor.
But even then he is TOO DAMN GOOD at it and makes me suspicious lol! We'll never know ffs!
You don't have issues likeing male/male action, it's completely normal! :P It's the same for me. And Hal said (not sure if it was in this interview) that half of the viewers of QaF are straight women.
This is hard to watch because it seems like Larry King was asking such stupid questions! Like the acting question, and Gale was like "Duh, it's acting"! I also dont like how he had to put a sexual orientation with a name and face every time he introduced an actor! I just felt like the cast was very uncomfortable during the interview and so it was very strange to watch as well!
That guy with the glasses is VERY short minded!!!! There are MANY, MANY gay men and women who do NOT AT ALL have that kind of lifestyle. They don't ever go to gay clubs, don't fuck around! If they complain about the portrayal of gays in this show, it is NOT because they 'are ashamed of themselves'.
ha vic and ben were gay and thea was bisexual so all the only 2 gay members was bullshit larry really doesn't understand acting it's not about what you are
Yeah but Jack (vic) wasnt a MAIN character and Robert (Ben) wasnt out yet. I mean, the actor that played Blake was, and Harris (Hunter) is bi, so, ya know. But I hated that he had to introduce them, evry time, by their Name AND sexual orientation.
i agree with peter...the LGBT community (my community )was at the time looking for the best image to represent itself even if that image was false. the normal herto life is not how we live. i dont go against other peoples opinion but thats not the life style we created or followed. it makes no sense to complain. many people act like thats all the show is about...it goese much deeper than that.
Gale admits it wasn't tough to do guys! Especially Randy ;) The scene while Gale was talking, the one where Brian and Justin first get together, was so hot. =P Notice Gale paused a little before answering 'Of course it's acting' LetsHereitFortheBoy clip makes me smile. That was when Justin managed to get Brian! The car scene is great. 'I'm going with him' =D This show is brilliant. It isn't setting out to show all gay life, everyone is dif! It is showing the lives of a few people 'warts and all'
I think Gale is secretly Bi, or at least curious, cause he was always touchy feely with the guys, ESPECIALLY his lil' BFF Randy, I hear they would give little kisses hi and bye and stuff. Either that or he is sooo comfortable in himself he has no problem doing those things. And he didnt look that uncomfortable when Randy says "I love you" later in the interview (i think in part 3)
Yeah I agree, you can look at pictures off set like red carpet and see him kissing guys sticking his tongue out at guys dancing with guys..I think it would be cool if he was bi, but I need him to be kinda straight for my own fantasies! hah
yeah, I know he sees woman, but he just seems so comfortable kissing Randy and other guys and a little forced kissing woman. Are the woman a cover? Is he under contract to be 'straight'? Is he just more SEXUALLY attracted to men, but emotionally to woman? IDK but he hasnt had more than 1or2 known relationships & isnt married. I would love if He and Randy were together, I would LOVE it better if he was with me but that aint happening lol! I will be in NYC acting soon though! maybe I'll meet him.
Interesting analysis. Although I am sure we are are thinking to hard, he does seem forced with women. Like in DH with Terri Hatcher, the just stuck together, but maybe its her, lol. But that kiss in awake with April was kind of lackluster too. Then it may just be what the role calls for..IDK but him with Randy is the best!
yeah, but heath didnt act all touchy-feely off set like Gale did, that is waht we mean, and when Gale came out with his sexuality, he basically said 'unfortunatly, basically I'm stright' He didnt even want to say it. And even if he was bi, I think he is definitly More into woman, but maybe he fools around a bit with guys. He always talked REALLY highly of Randy, and always hung out and onPeter and Robert (the other gay men of the cast) lol. but its just us hoping for Gandy (gale-randy) =)
Guys.. its JUST a role.. he is Hetero. Look at Heath Ledger, think he was bi? No.. he was married with a child. Actor's take roles that challenge them, just because you kiss a guy doesn't make you gay.. besides, you have to look at the fact that in those scenes, there are camera's, lights, gaffers, grips, directors, NOTHING is intimate about it! lol
Although I completely agree with you with the fact that it's okay for most of the actors to be straight, I just felt the need to point out that IF Heath Ledger was bi, the fact that he was married has nothing to do with it. Bisexual means liking both males and females.
You know this guy doesnt get the show at all.Idislike Larry King, he is being such an ass, he is asking the same questions over again and making it were they have to be uncomfortable,plus have you all noticed that every scene from the show its about drugs or sex,what he's emplying that the show.he doesnt show the clips of the bashing or the fact justin has to deal with family friend school issues with being gay or the fact that michael has to deal with bashing with words at work.he's stupid!
I second every word you said. The show raises so many important issues. Larry only shows how bad interviewer he is, and also that he is clueless about the gay world.
Exactly! I think there should have been some of the more powerful and emotional scenes like the very first clip should have went on to where Brian said he wanted Justin safe and around. The prom and bashing should have been showed! Ugh! I hate Larry King!
I totally agree with this. When QAF was first described to me, I'd heard of the title. I asked whether it was a good show or not, and was informed that it was completely pornographic and the characters made little difference to the sex scenes.
the way he interviews..is really awkward..i mean..he is cutting them off...the hell....

This comment has received too many negative votes show
No he doesn't. Not all gays are north american nor do they go out to their local gay club(if there such a club) and fuck every single night. In fact MOST gay people don't do that. The fights they had in season 3 against the closing of back rooms in clubs and the radical way in which they portraited straight people...pathetic. This show made all of us gays look like a new specie of sperm consuming mammals who in order to live must remain in the surounding of dancing shirtless men.

I never said "all" gays, or that gays hook up "every" night. I'm just agreeing that the life style portrayed is true, it's what the mainstream gay culture is about. Of course not all gays live by that lifestyle. People who disagree with what is being portrayed in the show are either not into the life style, or are ashamed of having their life style exposed.

It needs to be said in reply to your comment that what you're referring to is only a portion of QAF (mainly the first and second seasons). If you'd actually watched the show in its entirety you would realize that not all of the characters enjoy going out and clubbing every night and taking drugs. The show is about so much more than that. Being together, being different, being human in a world where other humans are being rejected because of stereotypes.

Brian: Pop quiz, no talking. Here's the question. Multiple choice. Do you want to come home with me? A, yes; B, yes; or C, yes. Tick, tick, tick, time's up. Pencils down. What do you say?
Michael: None of the above. He's going home.
Justin: I'm going with him.
Brian: Good boy. You get an A-plus.

I was so looking forward to seeing this interview, but Larry just annoys the hell out if me. What does it matter if they are straight or gay? It's like he had a set number of times he was suppposed to say "gay" and "straight".

ColourfulSummer 2 years ago 28
do you remember what brian kinney always sad: if you want to sell something you have to make it sexy. these clips from the show (you can only see those sex scenes) are the best promotion for the tv-show... so maybe after that interview a lot mor people will watch and see the more important aspects like family, growing up, partnership and friendship... think positive :)))))
but i have to admit: i hate larry kings interview style.

kittenlush08 3 years ago 9
Larry King is kind of bugging me by always saying "gale, you as a staight actor" or "Randy, you as a gay actor"....their sexual orientation doesn´t matter at all because its acting.... even sex scenes between men and women are not that easy to play....it is stupid assuming that only because randy is gay that these scenes are easy to play for him because there are alway many other people watching... sex scenes are always "tough" to play...
LilliPeach 3 years ago 180
@LilliPeach I can see what you're saying here but Larry King is trying to clearly make the point that he is only pointing it out as it has so few gay actors on a show mainly about gay men and women. And each persons personal situation does reflect in some ways on their portrayal of these characters.
nickawgomez 1 year ago 2
@LilliPeach He isn't saying ''its easier for you to do sex scenes because your gay'' he is merely pointing out, as the actors agree, that for some of them it'll be a bigger stretch from their 'norm' as they will have different feelings about playing a different sexuality vs fairly portraying their own sexuality and that community

the worst question that this host.have ever ask is that..have gale harold ever regretted taking that role...
he should have asked...are u happy that u took that role...
from my point of view that question was as if it is something to be regretted...
im proud of gale being st8 and accept to take the role of brian kinney...

I like how Gale answers Larry's question about was it tough to make love to a man on screen, it really shows that he is a professional and doesn't see any difference between playing a straight man making love to a woman and a gay man making love to a man. Go Gale!
Hazey1215 3 years ago 10
I agree, Gale handled it well (and Randy too, for whispering to Gale :P).
at least Larry didn't use "hard" instead of "tough", THAT could've been awkward.
cobrastern 3 years ago 10
Oh yes, very!! I was wondering if he was going to say "hard" at any point, it would have lightened the mood
Hazey1215 3 years ago
These critics are just idiots,the QAF reflects the real gay single life,which is partying,sex and drugs,we all were singles one time,we ve been there,we ve done that,also the show shows how these caracteres has grown up as adults,settleed down,have parteners,live happy,I totally agree with Peter

why are all of his clips related to sex scenes? What about the other parts of the show? He's trying to show qaf in a bad light, really D: I mean, yeah, there are a lot of those scenes, but there are cleaner, humorous parts...He's making it out to be a porno or something...
Fuzzyfeelin 3 years ago 9

Spike1885 3 years ago
I totally agree with Peter. QAF depicted the gay scene and lifestyle very accurately. It has frustrated me for 20 odd years now that there is so always so much emphasis on sex, alcohol, drugs, partying and body image in gay bars and clubs. It's a very fickle scene and I could relate to many of the episodes. I like being gay but I beleive we are our own worst enenmy. Mardi gras or gay parades do not help our cause either!
mcarps7 3 years ago 4
I don't totally agree with what Peter said. Yes the things on QaF are real, they happen all the time, but not every gay person does these things, which is what he seemed to be saying.

Maybe it's because of his experience
Watch 'QAF says goodbye',Peter Paige admits to having seen his friends' lifes destroyed by drugs
And as for the sex scenes...
I kind of understand why they chose to show them
because that's what makes this show unique and controversial
Drama is everywhere,same-sex couples-not really
The fun part is,even if they showed them to make it look bad,
the result was probably the opposite
Just like Brian said-wanna sell something,use sex

Ok, I LOVE QAF because of Gale and Randy (justin and brian) just their love story and the SEX! I know its gay sex (and i'm a girl AND straight lol!) but it was so hot O.O I think i might have issues lol anyways!!
I think that Gale is just a wonderful commited actor maybe thats what he wanted, to cause these effect in viewers, so he'd get more attention as an actor.
But even then he is TOO DAMN GOOD at it and makes me suspicious lol! We'll never know ffs!
deborahmoor 3 years ago 2
You don't have issues likeing male/male action, it's completely normal! :P It's the same for me. And Hal said (not sure if it was in this interview) that half of the viewers of QaF are straight women.
cobrastern 3 years ago 4
This is hard to watch because it seems like Larry King was asking such stupid questions! Like the acting question, and Gale was like "Duh, it's acting"! I also dont like how he had to put a sexual orientation with a name and face every time he introduced an actor! I just felt like the cast was very uncomfortable during the interview and so it was very strange to watch as well!

Gale admits it wasn't tough to do guys! Especially Randy ;) The scene while Gale was talking, the one where Brian and Justin first get together, was so hot. =P Notice Gale paused a little before answering 'Of course it's acting' LetsHereitFortheBoy clip makes me smile. That was when Justin managed to get Brian! The car scene is great. 'I'm going with him' =D This show is brilliant. It isn't setting out to show all gay life, everyone is dif! It is showing the lives of a few people 'warts and all'
Onaqua 4 years ago 22

dontjudgeme26 3 years ago 3
I think Gale is secretly Bi, or at least curious, cause he was always touchy feely with the guys, ESPECIALLY his lil' BFF Randy, I hear they would give little kisses hi and bye and stuff. Either that or he is sooo comfortable in himself he has no problem doing those things. And he didnt look that uncomfortable when Randy says "I love you" later in the interview (i think in part 3)
blissfullycat02 3 years ago 8
Yeah I agree, you can look at pictures off set like red carpet and see him kissing guys sticking his tongue out at guys dancing with guys..I think it would be cool if he was bi, but I need him to be kinda straight for my own fantasies! hah
NJS06 3 years ago 3
yeah, I know he sees woman, but he just seems so comfortable kissing Randy and other guys and a little forced kissing woman. Are the woman a cover? Is he under contract to be 'straight'? Is he just more SEXUALLY attracted to men, but emotionally to woman? IDK but he hasnt had more than 1or2 known relationships & isnt married. I would love if He and Randy were together, I would LOVE it better if he was with me but that aint happening lol! I will be in NYC acting soon though! maybe I'll meet him.
blissfullycat02 3 years ago 2
Interesting analysis. Although I am sure we are are thinking to hard, he does seem forced with women. Like in DH with Terri Hatcher, the just stuck together, but maybe its her, lol. But that kiss in awake with April was kind of lackluster too. Then it may just be what the role calls for..IDK but him with Randy is the best!
NJS06 3 years ago 2
yeah, but heath didnt act all touchy-feely off set like Gale did, that is waht we mean, and when Gale came out with his sexuality, he basically said 'unfortunatly, basically I'm stright' He didnt even want to say it. And even if he was bi, I think he is definitly More into woman, but maybe he fools around a bit with guys. He always talked REALLY highly of Randy, and always hung out and onPeter and Robert (the other gay men of the cast) lol. but its just us hoping for Gandy (gale-randy) =)

Guys.. its JUST a role.. he is Hetero. Look at Heath Ledger, think he was bi? No.. he was married with a child. Actor's take roles that challenge them, just because you kiss a guy doesn't make you gay.. besides, you have to look at the fact that in those scenes, there are camera's, lights, gaffers, grips, directors, NOTHING is intimate about it! lol
rpvideo123 3 years ago 3
Although I completely agree with you with the fact that it's okay for most of the actors to be straight, I just felt the need to point out that IF Heath Ledger was bi, the fact that he was married has nothing to do with it. Bisexual means liking both males and females.

I totally agree with this. When QAF was first described to me, I'd heard of the title. I asked whether it was a good show or not, and was informed that it was completely pornographic and the characters made little difference to the sex scenes.
