Hey all! Here's the primer for QaF. Thanks to
miss_lurker for all of your help. I couldn't have done it without you!! <3<3<3
Our Primer is spoilery Up Through Season 3. So, if you don't want to know, then DON'T read

QaF focuses on the careers, ambitions, and relationships of a group of gay men living in Pittsburgh. Follow the lives of Brian, Michael, Justin, Emmett and Ted. Share their struggles and their triumphs; their loves and their losses.
FYI: Queer as Folk USA was adapted from a British series with the same name written by Russel T. Davies.
LIBERTY AVENUE
Liberty Avenue is the home of most of the gay community in QaF. This is where most of the "magic" on the show happens.
Hot Spots on Liberty Avenue:

Home of the delightful lemon bar!! Debbie, the patron saint of Drag Queens, is the back-bone of the establishment. She keeps everything lively with her quirky fashion sense, her bawdy humor, and the knack to be in everyone's business.
Woody's

A popular whole-in-the-wall to get a drink, play pool, or to meet-up before a sexy night at Babylon.
Babylon

The place to be on Friday and Saturday nights. Whether you're bumping and griding against a tight-bodied twink or getting a blow job in the backroom, your sure to have a night worth remembering.
THE CHARACTERS
Brian Kinney

By day Brian Kinney is a tough-as-nails ad executive who's not afraid to use his cunning or his sexuality to get what he wants. By night, he can be found prowling the backroom of Babylon for drugs, a blow job, a fuck, or all three. Brian is every fag's wet dream. He oozes sex and always gets what he wants. Brian doesn't do relationships or love because that's what "breeders" do. He likes to fuck because it gives you "the minimum of bullshit with the maximum of pleasure.
Well, until he met Justin Taylor.
Tenacious and determined, Justin wormed with way into Brian's life and eventually into Brian's heart.
The pair have an "unconventional and undefined relationship," in which either person stays
Brian has refused to stop tricking, but abides by "The Rules" that he and Justin have set-up.
The Rules
1. No kissing tricks.
2. No phone numbers.
3. No fucking the same guy twice.
4. Must be home by 3 A.M.
George Shickel called Brian "the love child of Ayn Rand and James Dean." That pretty much sums it up.
Michael Novotny

Michael, self proclaimed "semi-cute boy next door," mama's boy, and comic book freak. He owns his own comic book store and created his own comic book, Rage, with Justin.
Michael and Brian have been best friends since they were both fourteen
and Michael has always been Brian's main source of unwavering love and
support. The problem for Michael is that he's in love with Brian, but it doesn't look like Brian ever plans on changing his status from best friend to lover. It's been said, by most of the characters on QAF, that Brian's fucked everyone except Michael. It's not even clear that Michael would really want him to, seeing Brian's views on relationships, sex, and love.
This hasn't stopped Michael from pursuing relationships, though.

Michael is involved with Prof. Ben Bruckner, despite the reactions of his friends and family and his own initial reservations regarding Ben's HIV status.
Justin Taylor

One night, Justin set out down Liberty Avenue to see what it was all about. Underneath a streetlamp, Brian saw Justin, brought him home and took his virginity. With a lot of determination and patience he became part of Brian's small make-shift family. With some guidance from Brian, Justin was on his way to becoming "the best homosexual he could be."
One of the major decisions he made was to go Pittsburgh Institute of Fine Arts to pursue his passion for drawing instead of Dartmouth and honor his father's wishes.
Somehow, the blond twink stole the Teflon heart of Brian Kinney. Brian even went to Justin's prom. It was the most "ridiculously romantic" thing Brian had ever done for someone. Only the night was tainted by Chris Hobbs, who bashed Justin in the head with a baseball bat.</P>
After Justin got out of the hospital, he and Brian tried to live together and "The Rules" were put in effect. It was short-lived though. Justin ended up leaving Brian for Ethan Gold, a musician at PIFA, because Brian wouldn't tell Justin how he felt about him.
Ethan was the antithesis of Brian. He knew how to do romance. He knew what to say and he had no problem telling Justin what he wanted to hear. Ethan wasn’t good at keeping his word, though, and cheated on Justin.
So, Brian and Justin got back together.

Their LOVE IS DESERVING OF ALL CAPS!!! <3<3<3
Emmett Honeycutt

Emmett, "courtier to disco trash" and web porn star turned event organizer. Emmett is tough, caring, and proud. In spite of his easygoing attitude, he knows how to stand up for those he cares about.

At the end of Season 2 Emmett got involved with his long time best friend Ted.
Ted Schmidt

Ted, former account and web porn king with a big heart and low self esteem. Ted was always lusting after hot guys who don't look twice at him until he fell for Emmett, his best friend, late Season 2. Recently, Ted got himself into deep trouble he after loosing his business. He hooked up with a shady doctor with nasty habit and got hooked on Crystal Meth.</P>
Ben Bruckner

Ben, a HIV-positive Carnegie Mellon professor. He's a health nut that has a penchant for eastern food and religion. He's generally positive about is HIV status although he has had dramatic periods onscreen when he's felt otherwise. He is a sweet, understanding guy who doesn't feel threatened by relationship between Michael and Brian, for the most part.
Blake

Ted met Blake, a cute 20-something crystal meth addict, one night and ended up in a coma from a drug overdose.

Blake jumped ship but later reappeared and he and Ted hooked up. Despite vowing to go clean, Blake couldn't give up his addiction and eventually disappeared on Ted. He reappeared once again at the rehab clinic that Ted checks himself into, this time as a counselor.
Debbie Novotny

Debbie the loud and proud mother of Michael who works as a waitress in The Liberty Diner. Deb spends most of her time doling out advice to just about everyone who will listen. She has a habit of butting into everyone business, especially Michael's, something that drives him bonkers.
Lindsay Peterson

Lindsay, a WASPy ex-art teacher who now works in an art gallery. She's Brian's second best friend and the mother of his son, Gus. Lindsay tends to repress her feelings and that has lead to some problems between her and her longtime partner Melanie.
Melanie Marcus

nonsense Jewish lawyer. While she spares no love for Brian (the feeling is entirely mutual), she is friends with everyone else and is frequently called on whenever a lawyer is needed. During Season 3, she decided to bear her and Lindsay's second child, despite her many fears, and chose Michael as the father.
