I don’t understand how anyone could not be attracted to Gale Harold’s character in Queer as Folk, Brian Kinney. That said, I never actually thought I’d have a dream about having sex with him, but not having sex with him since I wasn’t me in my dream. I was a gay man.

My attraction to gay men is no secret, nor is my fantasy of being one. I mean, really… nothing new.

But guess what. It looks like I’m not so strange after all. According to Fab Magazine’s “The show has never been written for straight women.” So why is Queer As Folk making women wet?, by Romy Shiller, tons of women want to be the man with Brian.

The toss-up of conventional roles creates a grab bag of lust opportunity and gender play. Sheila Hockin elaborates: “A lot of straight women wildly romanticize Brian Kinney. There is some commentary on the Web, straight women talking about sexual fantasies to do with the characters, where they want to be a guy Brian kisses. They don’t want to be a woman. It all gets very gender-bending.” Women are not just taking a peek as themselves, replacing characters on the screen (Justin, for example) with their pretty, pouty faces, they’re also masquerading as gay males. Gender Meltdown.

I don’t think I’d make a good Justin, and don’t anyone dare to suggest I name my gay male alter-ego Mario! I was thinking something more like… Jaden?
