Nominated for 9 Craft Awards (bestowed by the Director's Guild of Canada), Queer As Folk is a groundbreaking drama series that has built itself a large cult following since its inception in 2000. Based on a British TV series of the same name, Queer As Folk is in many ways similar to HBO's Sex And The City, and it's one of the first TV dramas to be completely centered around the lives of homosexual characters, or even have prominent homosexual characters - following on the heels of groundbreaking sitcoms such as Ellen (1994) and Will & Grace (1998). The brainchild of UK-born writer and creator Russell T. Davies, Queer As Folk follows the life and times of a group of gay friends as they live out their respective lives in modern-day America

Set in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Queer As Folk follows the exploits of a group of gay and lesbian friends who live on or around Liberty Avenue. Most of the scenes take place either in the character's homes, a local diner, or the popular gay nightclub Babylon. Lindsay Peterson (Thea Gill) and Melanie Marcus (Michelle Clunie) comprise the lone lesbian couple to star in the series, while various gay friends and neighbors such as Brian Kinney (Gale Harold), Michael Novotny-Bruckner (Hal Sparks), Justin Taylor (Randy Harrison), Ted Schmidt (Scott Lowell), Emmett Honeycutt (Peter Paige), etc. deal with each other and their own varying relationships. Composed in a drama/soap opera format, Queer As Folk centers wholly on the careers and lives (including sex, drugs, love, friendships, tragedies, etc.) of its diverse characters, maintaining a specific focus on its attempted realistic portrayal and illustration of the American homosexual lifestyle...

The Queer As Folk (Season 3) DVD features a number of interesting episodes including the season premiere in which everyone is surprised to learn that Justin has broken up with Brian and is now in a relationship with Ethan. Brian sinks into depression, and Michael confronts Justin about the situation, telling him leave town and never come back. When Brian and Justin end up at Melanie and Lindsay's party, Brian attempts a reconciliation, but is rebuffed. After Michael badmouths Justin, Brian surprises everyone by punching him out Other notable episodes from Season 3 include "Episode 305" in which anti-gay Police Chief Stockwell is running for mayor and his campaign is the focus of everyone's activities on Liberty Avenue, and "Episode 311" in which everyone is frustrated by Stockwell's crackdown on Liberty Avenue while Emmett is concerned when a depressed Ted fails to come home one night
