No lie, I do appreciate how Tan and Karamo speak out on this to the others, and the others LET THEM, and give them the floor when they’re talking about how being brown/black and being gay intersect.  Similarly to the way they give Jonathan the floor when he’s talking about the difference in presentation being being, for example, someone like Antoni and Bobby who straight people generally don’t find threatening, and being someone like Jonathan who, in his own words, never had a CHOICE about being in the closet because “Sky is blue, water is wet, Jonathan is flamingly homosexual”.  There are different experiences here, but Queer Eye actually gives them air time to talk about intersections of prejudice??? and that’s… so weirdly cool????

They all support and learn from each other, which is wonderful. This also applies when they give Antoni room to define himself the way he wants to, and try to understand why Bobby has a strained relationship with organized religion. They try to learn from the people they makeover, too. Like, Tan addressed his misunderstanding re: trans experiences, and not many people are willing to do that. Even when they address misconceptions and prejudices other people may have, they do it from a place of love and education rather than purely hurt and anger which is a very hard thing to do.
