Yes. In its first two seasons it had its moments as you say. But I always found Brian Kinney's portrayal mannered and unbelievable. That whole PFLAG over-the-top persona that Sharon Gless played got wearing too. Emmett's character though real in my experience too-often triggered my gag reflex and that "affair" where he outed that nationally famous football player just didn't wash with me. That guy should have been fucking me not Emmett.
In the final analysis it became some hackneyed parody of gay life it seemed to me.
I recall actually groaning during some of the dialogue about "lesbian bed death", etc. between Brian and Lindz too... The stereotypes vinny were beyond anything.
However at least it was "here" and it was "queer". So here's to it.
