I love Justin's story. I like mostly of the story lines of him when he is trying to cope with intolerance as a young person who just recently came out. I like the scene where he tells the teacher off. I though the story with Chris would be better if Justin told about the handjob in school. And around Babylon Chris would just feel threatened because he is the minority and there are too many people agai8nst his verbal attacks unlike it is in school.

David's and Michael's story was good too. It applies to many couples with a big income difference. It is hard to find the medium where one doesn't feel like one is using someone and at the same time not to bring down their standard of life. Well done.

Lindsay is annoying. I actually don't see anything wrong with what she is doing. I just find it annoying how she is presented as a good person for doing it. She doesn't do it because of being a good person, she just needs a new cow to milk. It is funny how she tells Justin she wants to be independent while in reality she just takes advantage of someone else here. I have a feeling soon enough the guy will go back to France because Lindsay will take her first income source, Melanie back.

While this episode does have a lot going on with every character for once and is sometimes a little too cluttered, it was just incredible. Randy Harrison finally has his time to shine here as Justin when the kids at school and the teachers continue calling him names. He teams up with Daphne after some big words of encouragement from Deb to form a GSA, or Gay/Straight Student Alliance. There are quite a few amazing scenes, my favorite being the pitch for the GSA that Brian gives Justin while the both of them are completely naked. Lindsay and Melanie finally talk again, but there are more problems than it first appears. Also, Michael and David go through problems when Michael gets angry at David for paying for everything. Once again a great soundtrack and a great ending, Queer as Folk just keeps getting better and better.
