Шарон Глесс говорит в интервью, что Шоутайм может перезапустить Квиров!
Не знаю другого сериала, который так бы на меня повлиял. Квиры изменили мою жизнь к лучшему. И, как ни смешно, именно они заложили во мне уверенность, что нужно посильно участвовать в политике - голосовать, ходить на митинги. Это было задолго до 2011 и до того, как я что-то прочитала про общественные движения в США, Харви Милка и май 68-го.
"The best thing, I think, is I’ve gotten mail or people have told me that they sat their mother or their father down, usually their mother, gay boys who didn’t know how to say, ‘I’m gay,’ and they’d sit them down and have them watch Debbie. Or the parents were not accepting to their son being gay and they’d set them down and ask them to please watch Queer as Folk. One boy wrote me that it saved his life, Queer as Folk. And he said, ‘I think a lot of kids are suicidal if they can’t get anybody to listen to them or understand.’ He said, ‘my best friend wasn’t as lucky. Queer as Folk had not came out yet and he’s dead.’ And I thought, ‘wow, the impact of television is just amazing!’"
