and at Vince's 30th birthday, when Cameron gets him a more impressive present: 'I have never been so upstaged!'

Alexander, at Phil Delaney's funeral: 'This could be me! I could be dead! Mind you, I think I'd draw more of a crowd.'.

and when he sees his mother out on Canal Street with Hazel, who reminds him: 'This place isn't just for you, you know!'

In a later episode he makes the arrogant assumption that a guy giving Donna some grief was actually staring at him, causing Donna to tell him 'It's not all about you, you know'.

Drugs Are Bad: The worming tablets Stuart is sold that lead him to drawing the Shag Map:.

and of course Phil Delaney's fatal cocaine overdose

Drives Like Crazy: Stuart likes to make pedestrians dive out of his way.

Country Matters: Vince tries to reassure Nathan over Stuart not wanting a proper relationship with him: 'Nathan, he's a cunt.' Not to mention Nathan's comeback: 'You're friends with a cunt.'.

Citizenship Marriage: Romey and Lance.

Children Are Innocent: Subverted with Stuart's nephew, who tries to blackmail him.

Stuart's catchphrase is lampshaded by Vince: 'As a friend of mine is fond of saying: FUCK OFF!'.

They have an Oh, Crap! moment when they discover he lives in a Room Full of Crazy and knows a lot about preparing corpses for burial: Alone with the Psycho: Dane and Alexander when they go to a stranger's house for a threesome.All Gays Are Pedophiles: invoked by Stuart's blackmailing nephew, who threatens to tell Stuart's parents a few very nasty lies: 'I'll tell them you touched me- you pervert!' Stuart of course counters this.Understandable because he was 15 at the time. Age-Appropriate Angst: Nathan reacts rather emotionally after sleeping with and then getting rejected by Stuart.Justin, his US counterpart is 17 at the start of the show. The Twink: Nathan is 15 in the UK version.Straight Gay: Most of the main cast in both versions (except Alex and Emmett).According to Word of God, the working title of the UK show was, in fact, Queer As Fuck.However, for the American show it could be misheard as 'Queer-Ass Folk.' Pun-Based Title: The title is derived from a Northern British phrase 'there's nowt so queer as folk', meaning roughly 'there's nothing stranger than people'.Hunter (US) was adopted by Michael and Ben.Lindsay and Melanie (US) have two children: Gus and Jenny Rebecca.Romey and Lisa (UK) have a son, Alfred.Lindsay and Melanie are pretty affectionate on-screen, though not as explicit as the male-on-male scenes. Considering the creator, it's probably plain old Author Appeal. The resident lesbian couple never share more than a kiss on the cheek onscreen, while the gay male relationships are portrayed very frankly and graphically. Fag Hag: Hazel/Debbie, who regards her son's coming out as a turning point in her life, allowing her to get involved in the gay scene herself.Hazel thinks Alexander looks rather good in drag:Д«rian: 'Only do drugs with your friends, because they're the only ones who give a shit about you.'.She claims to not want children, and only like other people's kids. Subverted by a woman whom Melanie had a one-night stand with.In the US version they also have a daughter who's biologically related to Melanie (Lisa's counterpart) and Michael (Vince's counterpart). Romey/Lindsay has a son using Stuart/Brian's sperm. The principal lesbian couple in both versions have biological children.The show's official philosophy seems not so much to be that gays are promiscuous, but that men are. Notably Melanie and Lindsay, in spite of occasional infidelities and one threesome, show much less inclination to promiscuity on the whole. In the US version, Michael's relationships are the only completely monogamous ones on the show, and even he goes for random hook-ups when single.

He accuses Vince of being a straight guy who has sex with men because he wants a relationship instead of casual sex. Stuart's views seem lean this way, though.

Vince also seems to fit this, but he's emulating Stuart and has the least amount of hookups (and one serious boyfriend). Stuart definitely fits this bill, but he's shown to have some deep-seated psychological insecurities.
