With more character development, tighter stories and less time spent at Babylon, the third season reaches new melodramatic heights. We've decided to give you a brief episode guide to whet your appetite and get you ready for another amazing season of Queer as Folk:

Episode 2: The drama moves forward as Justin has to figure out how to pay for school now that he's dropped his sugar daddy and Melanie tells Lindsay that she wants another baby.
Episode 3: Brian helps out the Community Center and Lindsay and Melanie ask him for more sperm.
Episode 4: It doesn't work out with Brian as sperm donor (to say the least) and they ask Michael who says "Yes!" Ted and Emmett tie the knot but problems are appearing in the midst.
Episode 5: Brian convinces a conservative, homopohobic mayoral candidate to hire him to do marketing for his campaign.
Episode 6: Brian's candidate is leading in the polls and Ted readies his new website "Jerk-at-work." Ben uses steroids in his urge to bulk up and Michael confronts his man.
Epsiode 7: Ted is out and about on bail after a surprise police raid, Melanie is pregnant and Ben stops with the "roids."
Episode 8: Michael and Ben take in Hunter, a young teen hustler with lots of complications. Justin wants Brian back after a disastrous end to his Ethan thing and there's some serious trouble in the Ted/Emmett condo.

Summary:
Queer As Folk is unquestionably the gay cultural phenomena of the new millennium. The master behind the scenes is Russell Davies, the writer who created the characters who have captivated the queer world for two years. Showtime, with incredible wisdom, produced a Queer as Folk soap opera that could conceivably run forever, with characters we can all identify with. The American Queer as Folk is set in a mythical Pittsburgh - it's not West Hollywood or the West Village - it's a blue collar city where gay people co-exist with straight - just like where most of us live.

Summary:
The gay cultural event of the millennium keeps on marching along. While the writing on this second season doesn't seem as strong, the character development has been tremendous and there is tons more sex, nudity and trashy soapy fun! All of the actors seem quite comforfortable in their roles and one more has even come out - Michael's new boyfriend, Ben (played by Advocate cover-man Robert Gant).
