Liberty and Dancing For All
Michael and Ben are cruising down Liberty Ave and Michael is reminiscing about the old days. We get some shots of him from past seasons, the greatest of which is when he’s hanging with Emmett and Ted. It’s awesome because it reminds me of that horridly fantastic, bright red, mohair coat that Emmett used to own. God that boy has a fashion sense all of his own.

Ben and Michael see Hunter smoking weed, and hanging out with his old hustler friends. Seems Hunter can’t get no tang so he’s given up on the school thing. He says he’s not going back and at least with his friends there accept him as he is. Just a side note, while it’s great to have friends that support you in everything, it'’ even better to have friends that challenge you and make you think about the decisions you’ll make in life. Just a thought.


Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired
Brian comes in for the night and asks Justin if he’s hard at work. Justin doesn’t answer, but instead asks him how Babylon was. Brian says it was hard at play. You know I didn’t pay attention to this the first time, but Justin turns his artwork over as soon as Brian comes in. It’s important for later, but I think it was a really nice subtle choice on Randy’s behalf. Justin asks why Brian’s home so early, and Brian informs Justin that his celibacy period is over and he wanted Justin to be the first to know. Justin says he’s touched, and Brian tells him “You’ll be a lot more that touched when I’m done with you.” Yeah, you might be diseased too!

Justin says he has work to do, Brian tells him to do it in the morning, but Justin says he’s doing it now. I guess Justin has found a way to make the syphilis thing about him so he cares about it now. Let’s see what he came up with.
Justin: “How can you be so fucking casual? Don’t you ever get tired?” Brian says to get tired of something means it’s become predictable, unsatisfying, and boring, which is exactly where there conversation is headed.
Justin says it could mean that you found something that was more satisfying. Brian asks what that would be, but Justin doesn’t have an answer. Brian goes to take a shower and asks when Justin’s coming to bed. Justin says in a while and we finally see what he’s been working on. It’s pretty gross. It’s a picture of Rage and he has these open blisters all over his face.

We end with the credits proclaiming that they don’t give a fuck about the weather. What an oddly fitting ending

.
Next time on QAF:
There’s a scandal involving a jock strap on Queer Guy and it culminates with Kent Brockman telling Em to stick to metrosexuals and keep his sex life off the screen.

Ted decides to get even with the worse sexual encounter he’s ever had. He’s sure he can get away with it since he’s “beautiful” now.

Brian can’t get a hot guy, or he can, I’m not sure what was going on there at all.

After the Next On, we get a very nice AIDS PSA where these people are kind of dancing and turning into more people. They’re spreading the KNOW and looking good while doing it. So much better than the pinky bikes!

See you next week!
