I’ve seen a lot of people say, “Why wouldn’t you call it something else and make it a new show?” There are plenty of queer creators trying to get shows made, and Queer as Folk has a really long legacy of built-in not only fandom but appreciation. Every now and then, there’s a queer show that comes out that we all watch because it’s the only one, so to know that Queer as Folk was getting reimagined, not only as an actor that was old enough to finally play something on Queer as Folk, but just because it was exciting to know that there would be more stories being told. Similarly, I don’t think I was ever in a position where I was like, “Why are they making this again?” I was like, “Oh, my God, thank God they’re making this again,” because that means that we get new stories. And so, to read something as special as what this is, and that I know has this gorgeous legacy, I didn’t just need to be a part of it, I had to be a part of it. I don’t think we have reached a threshold point. I don’t think there can be enough queer content.
