QUEER EYE OPENS THE MIRACULO GAY WALLET

Queer Eye Opens the Miraculo Gay WalletNetflix’s highly entertag reboot of the inic makeover show offers wish fulfillment about personal growth—and posssns. NetflixWho was shocked when a study last year found that gay men on average earn about 10 percent more than straight on?

But the tth is that the study was a tone: The parable rearch before had shown a gay wealth gap, wh homosexual men laggg behd heterosexuals wag, more likely to be on food stamps, and ls likely to fd a job. If gay men are, general, richer now, ’s a new thg—and for many, “gay affluence” is still a buted 2003, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy palized on the image of the outwardly prospero gay man—and sisted high-qualy handbags should match high-qualy ner liv, offerg up an spiratnal, aspiratnal symbol for Amerins gay and straight.

The Fab Five are reful to say, per signer Bobby Berk, “We’re jt five guys who happen to be experts our field, and who happen to be gay.
