This week I talked with actor Michelle Clunie about the “Queer As Folk” virtual 20th anniversary cast & crew reunion that takes place Friday May 1st at 11A PST/2P EST on YouTube. This must-attend livestream event is a fundraiser for CenterLink & its network of over 250 LGBTQ community centers. It’s hard to believe it was 20 years ago when we first entered the hallowed club Babylon & met Michael, Ben, Ted, Emmett, Melanie & the whole “Queer As Folk” gang. This Friday May 1st they’re back – better than ever - to celebrate the reunion of cast, crew, writers, directors & guest stars to raise awareness of the need to support LGBTQ centers all over the world. Scott Lowell (Ted) will host members of the “Queer As Folk” cast & crew including Clunie, Sharon Gless, Peter Paige, Hal Sparks, Randy Harrison & Robert Gant. Guest actors from your favorite episodes will also be joining as well as “Queer As Folk” creator executive producers Ron Cowen & Dan Lipman & more. During this pandemic LGBTQ community centers have continued to serve their communities providing vital often life-saving services such as medical care, mental health counseling, virtual support groups, filling prescriptions, providing hot meals & check-in phone calls for older adults. With cancelled galas, Pride events, fundraisers, etc. our LGBTQ community centers could be forced to shrink services resulting in thousands of LGBTQ people to go without care. I talked to Michelle about what she hopes to accomplish with this livestream fundraising event & her spin on our LGBTQ issues.
