The title character, Adam Seymour Duckstein (voiced by Jim J. Bullock), is an [[CampGay out-loud-and-proud]] water foul working as a male nurse who regularly deals with the mishaps that come with living as an openly gay man. Along for the ride are his close-knit circle of gay friends Bi-Polar Bear (Creator/BillyWest), Oscar Wildcat (Creator/MauriceLaMarche) and his boyfriend Openly Gator (Creator/KevinMichaelRichardson). As this is an internet-based show about homosexuality created in the early 2000s by a hetereosexual man, expect some of it's content to be a tad... [[SocietyMarchesOn on the regressive side]].

* EducationalSong: Queer Duck sings one (to the tune of [[Theatre/TheSoundOfMusic "Doe, A Deer"]]) in "A Gay Outing" when his nephew and his two friends go through his copy of ''Out'' and ask what certain things mean, such as GBM, S&M and bicurious. Of course, he doesn't teach them the ''actual'' meanings and instead teaches them {{bowdlerize}}d definitions.

Queer Duck finds himself in an existential crisis, questioning his homosexuality and thinking how much easier his life would be if everyone in the world didn't hate him because of who he was in love with. After breaking up with Openly Gator, he becomes acquainted with washed-up Broadway diva Lola Buzzard (Jackie Hoffman), helping her make a comeback with her one-woman show ''I'm Not Dead Yet'' and eventually getting engaged to her. Thinking this may be his one shot at a happy life, Queer Duck seeks the help of local gay conversion therapist Rev. Vandergelding (Jeff Bennett), who turns him into a "bro"-type slob. Will Queer Duck even again be the homosexual everyone knows and loves?
