I used to get threatened. I'd puke in the bathroom at school So I thought, I'll just be funny, because when people are laughing, they're not trying to beat you up. Rodriguez, who recorded an album of songs after the first Queer Eye season, had a tough time telling his parents that he was gay, partly because they were born-again Christians.
It was only when they wanted to come and see his performance in Rent that he was able to tell them he was gay. Both Kressley and Filicia had once worried that their career choices would upset their parents. Kressley recalled to Newsweek writer Marc Peyser that as a child, "I so wanted to be an interior designer or a fashion designer, and it didn't seem like an option because it was too gay, too out there I wasted a lot of years.

My husband, Chris, who barely remembered the original series, and I sat down for the premiere episode in which the new, sparkly Fab Five went to Atlanta and made over an older, self-proclaimed redneck named Tom.
They showed him what colors look best with his skin tone, how to paint an accent wall, and how to make yummy-yet-soooooper healthy guacamole. Tom played along, let them play dress up with him and trim his overgrown beard, and even coach him on how to ask a lady friend out on a date.
In the end, he thanked them, hugged them, and cried because they changed his life forever. They hugged back and cried, too; congratulating him, and congratulating themselves on creating a whole new Tom minus the redneck. Barely, if ever.

Back then, I was scared of feeling any affinity toward a gay character on TV — and a great way to hide fear is to criticize, to joke, to judge. But the thing is I really do know and love men like that in my own life.
Men who have become some of my best friends. And those guys are probably the most authentic, truest-living, happiest people I know in the world.
They are men I admire. Maybe my initial response to the new Queer Eye was being shaped by some lingering discomfort I felt about my own gayness. The second episode followed the same pattern.
Another schlubby straight got the full makeover from the Fab Five complete with haircut, beard trim, apartment renovation, shinier wardrobe and a heartfelt possibly scripted speech at the end from the straight guy about how his life was forever changed after hanging with gays for one week. It sorta made me almost tear up a little bit. Click here to learn more.
