I came out in 1997 as a 36 year old, True Love Waits, fundamentalist. I gobbled up every episode of the first Queer Eye despite living in a market without Bravo! at the time. I remember one trip to DC where I stayed in the hotel room most of the weekend because it actually had Bravo! Similar memories of Williamsburg.

The first part of this blog entry really pissed me off. I am so tired of gays who have to make sure folks know there are queers who break stereotypes. You know, there are straights who break them, too. I think residual, internalized homophobia is the cause, and I was poised to strike.

By the end of the blog, though, you had me. I agree that Jonathan can be a bit much, and that maybe he should makeover his own hair, but I applaud him for being himself.

Glad you gave it a second chance, Seth. Yes, the charcters are different, and perhaps more outwardly gay (if that’s a thing) than the first crew. BUT I see them as sincere, genuine and uplifting. Which is a boon in today’s society.

In reply to Whit Honea. I loved that one. It's actually the ep that made me commit to watching the full season. For whatever reason, the whole thing started feeling more authentic and just... better, with that particular episode.

Nice one, Seth. You certainly have a unique opportunity in terms of viewing both versions. I’ve been singing the praises of the reboot for weeks (and threatening to write about it). I feel like it might be America’s last hope. I’m curious, what did you think of the episode in which they helped a gay man, who didn’t fit the stereotypes, come out to his stepmom?
