1.02: Liminal Closet Space part 1
Coming out continues as a theme in episode two of Queer as Folk. We get into 00s fashion, boybands and queerbaiting, straight pubs and the gay scene. Also queer folk art, namely the AIDS Memorial Quilts.
Stuart goes on a manhunt at work, teen Nathan checks out butts at school and his friend Donna is finally named, and has the most best fashion sense! While Stuart is possibly maybe out at work his emotional-labour friend Vince is not. Yet Vince’s mum comes along to the gay pubs on Canal Street while Stuarts parents are still waiting for their ‘golden boy’ to get straight-married. We go into the ins and outs of Vince and Stuart being in and/or out of the closet.
