Thanks for the info. I love Russell Tovey. He's been a very busy boy!

My pet peeve with shows focusing almost exclusively on gay men is that they're almost never family friendly. It seems like the gay community itself has this raging need and desire to perpetuate the stereotype that all gay men are sex-crazy animals who live and breathe the "scene." Granted that earlier quote shows that this program will try to be more diverse in its approach, but yet again we have another gay storyline that will likely be full of sex.

HBO isn't a family friendly network, all their shows are full of sex. If you want family friendly, Nickelodeon and Disney Channel comes to mind. of sex.

How does anybody know (other than the folks associated with the new series), that it "will likely be full of sex"? I'm just glad that there will be another series, on tv that focuses mainly on fictional gay characters, regardless if they're shagging each other fabulously or trying to find the man that will be a perfect husband and father for them.

I was basing my assumption off the synopsis. I just meant that we need more gay-themed programs that are more appropriate.

Frankly, i don't think so. I didn't like Queer as folk (and if i have to be honest, the less sex the more i liked the episode, but the truth is gay characters are just eunuchs in most tv shows, even some very positive portrayals like Modern family, didn't treat the gay characters like the straight ones.
This is a show with all gay main characters wich means is not destined to a wide mainstream audience, and sex is part of life. I'll be glad if the main characters are very different between themselves and have different attitudes towards sex (QAF characters were very different but during the first seasons all were totally promiscuous stereotypes).
I hope the show is good and has success (HBO is a very good channel so in terms of quality it will probably be good) and it became more and more normal have a gay main character.
And i know it's not that important, but i like they cast some gay actors. People seem to push for actors to come out but the truth is some cast directors seems to not give a gay actor a straight role, and most of them seem to prefer give a stragith actor gay roles too, so it's a lose-lose situtation. Hopefully this will change

Kevvoi, thank you for sharing this news. Andrew Haigh, of 'Weekend', directs the pilot episode, I read. So cable channel is right for this type of gay series assuming it will be like the 'Weekend' type of gay life depiction.

i for one, am excited for this series! i love that it's being shot in SF where i live, so it will be fun for me to recognize the locations. in that respect, i hope it will be a bit like Sex and the City - in that the city will be a big part of the story line.

If we could decide who we loved, it would be much simpler, but less magical.

This looks soooo good! FINALLY a new gay tv show. It's about time. It's almost been 10 years since QAF aired its last episode. I'm also glad we get more shows including gay characters. There's a certain lack of gay characters right now.. especially compared to straight, or even lesbian characters.
Anyway.. just wanted to say thanks for posting the trailer. I can't wait till January!
