Ted Schmidt - Queer as Folk
“ Every year I always wish for the same thing - a boyfriend. Someone to love who’ll love me. This year I think I’m gonna wish for something else. The wisdom and maturity to realize that I won’t find what I want by looking for it. Not expect someone else to give me what I never gave myself. That I’m not a half waiting to be made a whole. And even if that special person never comes along… I’ll be just fine. ”
I love Ted, but I can’t stand how he fell into alcohol and narcotics abuse, and abused Emmitt.
Large swathes of me watching Queers USA was me shaking my hands at the screen shouting “Dammit Teddy, you’re tearing this family apart!”
