These are what we call the 'YMMV items.' Things that some people find in this work. We call them 'your mileage might vary' because not everyone sees these things in the same way. This starts discussions in the trope lists, a thing we don't want. Please use the discussion page if you'd like to discuss any of these items.
Alternative Character Interpretation: While nobody would dispute his Jerkass tendencies, it's still sort of surprising how little flack Stuart gets for hooking up with minor half his age and continuing to do so even after discovering Nathan's age. His claims on not being a pervert seem a bit hollow.
Jerk Ass Woobie: Stuart, both in-universe and among viewers. In the series people admit that he's a jerk while showing that they care about him, constantly trying to make him accept that he has some serious issues which urgently need addressing.
Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: When Brian sells his loft and buys a beautiful country manor for Justin during his (second) attempt to propose. After watching Justin chase after Brian for years, if this doesn't melt your heart then nothing will.
Hollywood Homely: Ted, who has trouble getting laid despite looking like this. Lampshaded in the episode where he goes to Lindsey's sister's wedding and women start eying him. It seems that only he's only unattractive by gay men's standards.
An interview with the actopr actually addressed this and he stated that Ted's problem is that he only pursues the hottest of the hot, which he is not. If he'd have reasonable standards he'd be pretty popular.
Ho Yay: Lots of it, which is unsurprising considering what this show's premise is.
Magnificent Bastard: Brian has his moments, most notably in his manipulation of Stockwell.
Narm: Justin in the first season, at least earlier on. QAF was Randy Harrison's TV Debut, and his overaffected manner of speech would work alright on stage, but on camera it was often difficult to take him seriously.)
Tear Jerker: Brian's expression after Justin is gay-bashed is enough to break anyone's heart.
And the Call Back it gets in season two when Ben is in the hospital, Michael is going to pieces, and Brian reminds Michael that the only reason he got through Justin's attack was because of him.
Vic's death in Season Four, and Brian, Michael, and Debbie's reactions to it.
The bombing of Babylon during the "No on Prop 14" benefit. The look and sound of desperation in Brian's voice as he tries to find Justin, and then Michael, is nothing short of devastating.
