No, but in the final episode of season 1, near the end of the episode someone gets their head bashed with a baseball bat. The aftermath is shown and there's blood visible around the head and face.

Right after Ted and Emmett leave their neighbors’ party, the shot changes to Michael and Ben’s apartment, and you can hear Ben v*ing in the bathroom. It's a cut scene and only audio.

The show focuses on the lives of gay men, including their sex life. These sex scenes are often explicit in nature, though I don't recount seeing actual genitals. Many bare chests and buttocks are shown throughout the show as well as men in sexy, revealing clothes.

A gun is not fired, but Justin and Cody approach Chris Hobbs when went home from work and Cody demands that he apologize to Justin for bashing him two years ago. Chris mocks and refuses.
Angrily, Justin pulls out Cody's gun and shouts, "Don't f*ck with me!" Justin make him get on his knees, apologize and suck the pistol. As this is done, Chris has to feel the fear of anyone he humiliated (and posed the threat of someone he did this against to ending his own life).
Just when he was about to consider pulling the trigger, possibly killing Hobbs, he tells him to get up and go inside and not call the police saying the a few homosexuals didn't pull the trigger.
