‘Queer as Fxxk’ is an ongoing webseries produced by X:MACHINE Productions in association with The Victorian AIDS Council/Gay Men’s Health Centre and The Burnet Institute and University of Melbourne.

The Melbourne based gay soap opera aires on Facebook and YouTube and is currently in its fourth series. This Series promises even more drama and comedy with guest appearances from (the Fabulous) Adam Richard, Denise Scott, Andrea Powell, Cal Wilson, Judith Lucy, and Catherine McClements.

The series follows the lives of four gay housemates, and the dramas they encounter as they meet go out, meet guys, hook up, and negotiate relationships.

Colin Batrouney, Manager of Health Promotion at the VAC/GMHC adds, ‘The growing popularity of series three of Queer as Fxxk has seen us reach the milestone of almost 3000 fans and over 2000 regular monthly users. Series four has allowed us to further explore the lives of Brendan, Peter, Aaron and Davo in situations that are sometimes tricky, sometimes tragic but at all times (we hope) entertaining. Will Davo and Glen have a baby? Will Peter cope with having HIV? Will Brendo stay with Jack? Will Aaron ever stop being a wanker? And will Brenda ever shut up? We have a number of fantastic guest stars this season and more than one musical interlude, we’ve got dream sequences, dinner party spats, departures, arrivals, blind dates, psychic phenomena and psychiatric assessments – in short, something for everyone!’.

The project has also been pushing to become even more accessible. Jason Asselin, Health Educator at the VAC/GMHC working on the project says, ‘We’ve had several requests from viewers asking for our videos to be closed captioned for the hearing impaired. We’ve been doing exactly that – going through our back library and ensuring all episodes are closed captioned or subtitled. That’s the great thing about the project, we’re able to take the feedback of our viewers and act on it fairly quickly.’

Queer As Fxxk was co-created by X:MACHINE Productions, The Burnet Institute, Victorian AIDS Council and The University of Melbourne. The project began as research into the uses of social networking in relation to sexual health messages.

Queer as F**k is an online interactive narrative that follows the lives of five fictional gay men in a shared house located in Collingwood, Melbourne. Peter, Brendan and Aaron live together in the house; whilst Davo (Brendan’s mate) and Daniel (Aaron’s boyfriend) make regular appearances.

Throughout the narrative, the drama in the lives of these five men is posted online through 10 short film clips, uploaded onto Facebook approximately every two weeks. These ten episodes introduce the characters; display the consequences of drug use & unsafe sex practices; address HIV misconceptions; introduce NPEP (non-occupational post-exposure prophylaxis used after high-risk behaviour); discuss issues such as safety in relationships and ‘coming out of the closet’; and provide entertainment to attract more online followers and encourage them to interact with our project.
