He just couldn't parse that there were chicks that liked that stuff.
He doesn't realize that more than half the Queer as Folk audience is women (presumably mostly straight)?

Guess what I watched (for the first time) with him and his BF the next night? I wasn't sure if I needed to represent the perverts right then, or if it'd be better to let him process what he'd just learnt first.
