Petition - Queer as Folk movie!

Sorry mods, if this isn't allowed here...

Scott Lowell is asking for help! Check out his Facebook post here: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Scott-Lowell/339055209457239

So, I'm confused. Why does FB tell me that my post about the online petition for more QAF has reached almost 11,500 people (as of 7/2) and yet only 905 have signed the petition? Is FB wrong or are people just not signing? Does the petition not "Work" in all countries? Or is something else preventing people from signing? "Veronica Mars" had over 90,00 backers of their project giving actual money. This is just asking for a "show of hands". I am so very VERY thankful for all who have already signed ... but where are all the thousands of QAF fans who supposedly want to see more? How do we reach them? If this online petition form isn't a good one, is there a better format somewhere? Send a message if you have suggestions. I'd like to get a real feel for how many fans ACTUALLY would want to see more QAF. It's the #1 question any prospective producer is going to want to know: How many will watch? Thanks!!!

And go sign the petition here: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/641/774/746/bring-back-queer-as-folk-to-celebrat-pa-gay-marriage/?taf_id=11199794&cid=fb_na

Spread the word!

If you're not sure the mods will allow a post, please ask one of us first.

A movie! Have signed immediately. Thanks for posting this. Moderators please, please let this posting stay for a bit at least. If the producers have any queries as to whether QAF is still watched/wanted, a quick scroll down the getithere postings would soon confirm it.

Already signed.

I started to sign, but it wanted my phone number and mailing address. I did not want to leave that info. Maybe other people have clicked to sign (thus the 11,500), but then backed out because they wanted too much personal information.

I signed it! A movie would be great. Would Brian's view of marriage have changed given the changes since 2005? And would the actors all be willing to come back? I was under the impression Hal Sparks wasn't too happy about some of the other actors dissension over the last (horrible) season.

I also wanted to sign, but I will not give my address and phone number to anyone on line.

I signed. It never asked for a phone number.

I didn't sign because I don't want a movie. Maybe other fans feel the same?

I didn't sign. I think QAF is beautiful the way it is, I'm just afraid of being disappointed by the movie.

Same here. I love QAF with all my heart, but I'm afraid it's impossible to make a good movie which many people will like. Years have passed, all of us have built our own version of life post 513, so the majority will be disappointed anyway. The most important reason, however, is that I just can't imagine what else can be said in QAF. They touched all the topics, they told us everything about everyone, what else is there to mention? Yes, I'd love to see Brian and Justin happily living together, Debbie and Carl, Michael and Ben marrying, but it's just not enough to make a movie about. Probably producers might pleasantly surprise us, but I'm afraid it's almost unreal.
