Home Welcome to Blooming, the only approved fanlisting for the wonderful character Justin Taylor (Randy Harrison) on the Showtime/Showcase series, Queer As Folk.Justin was the inexperienced but eager seventeen-year-old on Liberty Avenue, Pittsberg's gay village. He comes across Brian Kinney, a 30-year-old successful ad executive by day, sexual predator by night. Brian shows Justin the ropes to gay life, rather roughly, and eventually, Justin begins teaching the selfish, unapologetic Brian about what it means to be loved. Justin, in Queer As Folk's first season, battles with his sexuality identity and unsupportive father. Justin's ambition and determination, perhaps, are his most admirable qualities. He even fights to start a gay/straight alliance at his high school, not giving up when is denied his human right to do so. Even after a severe gay bashing by the arrogant, homophobic Chris Hobbs (Alec McClure), Justin survives and continues his plans with attending art school to become and artist in Season Two. Justin blooms into an intelligent, courageous, confident character by Queer As Folk's second season. He gains his mother's acceptance and respect for his sexual orientation and continues to try and break homophobic barriers in society. For example, he and Michael Novotny (Hal Sparks) decide to create a comic book, Rage, with a gay superhero. Despite the trouble he has with drawing from the gay bashing injury, Justin finds other creative outlets and impresses his art school teacher at the Pittsburgh Institute of Fine Arts with his determination. He demands more respect and equality from Brian in their relationship, and he proves his ability to get what he wants... when he wants. Brian's sexual nature has certainly rubbed off on Justin, but he still continues to be the loving, respectable Sunshine the gang all know and love. Last Updated: May 1, 2008.
