MANY NSIRED THE SHOW GROUNDBREAKG FOR FEATURG A ST OF GAY MEN NOT PLAYG OUTLANDISH FICTNAL CREATNS, BUT BEG THEMSELV. OTHERS LASHED OUT AGAST ; WHILE HOMOPHOBIC VIEWERS CRIED THE SERI FOR NORMALIZG HOMOSEXUALY, QUEER EYE ALSO SPARKED BATE AMONG PROGRSIV WHO FLTED THE SHOW FOR WHAT THEY SAW AS PROMOTG GAY STEREOTYP. “WE EVEN GOT NOT OM BARNEY FRANK, WHO WAS ACTUALLY OUR NGRSMAN,” SAYS EXECUTIVE PRODUCER MICHAEL WILLIAMS. (SUT PRODUCTNS, -FOUND BY WILLIAMS AND QUEER EYE -CREATOR DAVID COLLS, WAS LOTED BOSTON AT THE TIME.) “HE WAS CRICIZG THE SHOW, SAYG, ‘YOU’RE STEREOTYPG. YOU HAVE A SIGNER AND A OK.’”WILLIAMS THKS THE CRICISM WAS OFF BASE. “WE WEREN’T SAYG, ‘WE’RE DOG A SHOW ABOUT TYPIL GAY MEN, AND THEY ALL HAPPEN TO BE EXPERTS TERR SIGN AND OKG!’” HE SAYS. “IT’S A MAKEOVER SHOW. YOU NEED AN TERR SIGNER AND A CHEF.”IN SPE OF, OR PERHAPS BEE OF, THOSE NTROVERSI, THE SHOW BEME A BONA FI BH ERA H—ONE THAT, LIKE SO MANY OTHER BYGONE MEDIA PHENOMENA, IS BEG REBOOTED ON NETFLIX. THIS TIME AROUND, THE SHOW HAS UNRGONE A TRANSFORMATN OF S OWN, ONE MEANT TO HELP NAVIGATE THE EVEN MORE PLITED POLICS OF THE CURRENT AMERIN MOMENT. THE NEW VERSN OF THE SERI, WHICH LNCH FEBARY 7, IS SIMPLY BILLED AS QUEER EYE. IT’S BASED NOT NEW YORK CY, BUT AND AROUND ATLANTA. AND WHILE MOST OF THE GUYS GETTG LIFE AND STYLE MAKEOVERS ARE STRAIGHT, ONE EPISO CENTERS ON A GAY AIN-AMERIN MAN WHO HAS SPENT MUCH OF HIS LIFE LIVG ON THE DOWN LOW. HE’S HAPPY TO HAVE MORAL SUPPORT OM THE SHOW’S NEW “FAB FIVE”: TAN FRANCE (WHOSE FOC IS FASHN), ANTONI POROWSKI (FOOD AND WE), JONATHAN VAN NS (GROOMG), BOBBY BERK (TERR SIGN), AND KARAMO BROWN (CULTURE).ANYONE WHO WATCHED QUEER EYE THE GHTS WILL RELL THAT THE ORIGAL FIVE—CARSON KRSLEY, TED ALLEN, KYAN DOUGLAS, THOM FILICIA, AND JAI RODRIGUEZ—WERE LARGER-THAN-LIFE FIGUR. “THEY WERE SUPERHERO THAT SWEPT TO SAVE THE DAY,” SAYS COLLS. “IT WAS PART OF THE FORMAT.”AND WAS AN ENTERTAG APPROACH—BUT AS DYNAMIC AS THAT FIRST GROUP WAS, THE SHOW NEVER TRAVELED VERY FAR BENEATH THE SURFACE. ITS STARS OFTEN FELT MORE LIKE CHARACTERS THAN FULLY-ROUND PEOPLE: “I DON’T THK AMERI WAS READY TO HEAR ONE OF THE FAB FIVE REFER TO THEIR HBAND OR THEIR BOYIEND,” COLLS NTU. “I THK HAD CARSON AND KYAN SAID THAT, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A PRETTY STRONG BACKLASH.”BUT THE NEW QUEER EYE, THE GROUP IS MORE THAN A WISH-FULFILLG MACHE. THEY REVEAL MORE OF THEIR OWN LIV TO THE DIENCE: FRANCE, WHO IS MLIM, TALKS ABOUT BEG MARRIED TO A MORMON, AND BROWN, WHOM VIEWERS MIGHT REMEMBER OM MTV’S THE REAL WORLD: PHILALPHIA, DISCS FATHERHOOD.MOST POPULARSARA RAMIREZ ISSU STHG RPONSE TO ANTI–CHE DIAZ PROFILEBY SAVANNAH WALSH25 PERFECT TV EPISOS FROM THE LAST 25 YEARSBY HILLARY BISTHE GILD AGE WILL GET A LOT MORE OPERATIC SEASON 2BY RICHARD LAWSON“WHAT’S SO BETIFUL NOW IS THAT OUR GUYS NOT ONLY GET TO BE THEMSELV, BUT THEY GET TO TELL THEIR STORI.

There’s the weight om the origal Bravo seri as well as the weight that any show featurg gay leads still rri. But ’s like, stead of havg five gays tryg to lift the 18-wheeler of reprentatn, there are now 20 gays liftg an 18-wheeler–but ’s still an 18-wheeler!

NATE BERK AND JEREMIAH BRENT ON THE IMPORTANCE OF BEG 'TWO GAY DADS' ON HOME MAKEOVER TV: 'WE BELIEVE OPENG UP THE DOORS'

The impact of the origal seri nnot be overstated, but there was blowback the gay muny as some felt the show turned the Fab Five to flawls superhero at bt or ritur at worst. I n say firsthand that not seeg specifilly myself any of the origal Fab Five kept me unr the ln that I was straight well to llege bee I thought gays weren’t ma like me.

My fear gog to the new Queer Eye was that the new show would once aga feature five gay men cut om the same queer cloth stead of pullg swatch om many fab fabrics. So I wanted to fd whatever is I’m lookg for the new Fab Five, like a 21st century Tony Slattery or Charl Nelson Reilly (or at least other gay men that unt those two gays amongst their hero as I do).

This makeover show ma me over durg my bge-watch, and episo four (the absolutely sential hour of TV that is “To Gay or Not Too Gay”) was the turng pot.

MEET THE GAY GUYS FROM HGTVS NEWT SHOW, SHOP THIS ROOM

It is rare to watch an episo that addrs every sgle crique haters might have about the larger show, and “To Gay or Not Too Gay” breaks every argument agast the show down to an atomic level and then smash them. That’s bee, for what I assume is the first time Queer Eye history, the show ma over a gay man. One: spotlights the tth that all gays are not super-powered fashnistas.

In the episo, groomg expert Jonathan Van Ns says, “There’s a stereotype that gay men are all expert signers, perfect at lor ordatn, but not all gay men know how to do that!

” And two: the Fab Five makg over a gay man allows six gay men to have real, direct, and hont nversatns about what means to be gay, what means to be gay men, and– the se of culture expert Karamo Brown and the episo’s subject AJ–what means to be gay, black men. ” That word, “feme, ” grabs Tan’s attentn and giv him a way to a dialogue that every gay man has, albe ually ternally.

STRAIGHTS GET GAY TV MAKEOVERS

Some gay men are naturally feme, and ’s somethg they n’t hi; Jonathan says as much this episo’s fantastic g-out-story montage, sayg he “uldn’t hi . ” Other gay men are naturally more mascule and al wh the assumptn that they should be more feme, which n e them to reil om all thgs emed “girly.

THE NEW ‘QUEER EYE’ HAIR MASTER ON CREATG THE GAY ‘GREAT BRISH BAKE OFF’ OF MAKEOVER SHOWS

” And some gay men are somewhere the middle, surround by people embracg or rejectg the same stereotyp.

Before g out, before I even knew I was gay, I was flashy.
