When Queer Eye for the Straight Guy premiered in 2003,celebrity porn videos watch free celebrity xxx sex videos in the middle of another contentious Republican presidency, being gay in America didn't look like it does today. Straight actors played gay characters in mainstream shows like Will and Graceand Queer as Folk. Then Queer Eyecame along depicting gay men as professional experts. Though it moved the needle, there was still work to be done.
"Before it was just one thing: We make things pretty," said Tan France of Netflix's Queer Eye reboot. "That’s not enough. We want to be accepted as real members of the community."
This time around, viewers will meet a new Fab Five. It's a team that includes two married men, a single father, and proud black and Muslim experts to paint a more holistic view of being gay in America.
"It’s so easy these days to figure out how different we are; North and South and Republican, Democrat, that whole conversation," added Antoni Porowski. "And it’s these universal truths, these things that we all actually share. We all want to show up for our partner, for our loved ones, for our family members."

But that note — and Porowski's affirmation — rings true. The country's divided reality plays out in an exhausting manner day to day as people with opposing views shout fruitlessly at one another from across the political spectrum. Yet ostensibly liberal and conservative Americans co-exist in classrooms and workplaces. You can't just ignore the people who disagree with you, and more often than not, you have to interact with them.
This time around, the show is set in and around Georgia. In one episode, the Fab Five help out a Southern police officer.
"For me as a black man, the first thing – I could not just say ‘Let’s make you better!’ It was like, cops are killing black people," recalled culture expert Karamo Brown.
Brown and officer Cory Waldrop end up having an unexpected heart-to-heart about halfway through the episode. Brown addresses his initial unease about meeting Waldrop, about the tension between white cops and black communities that runs as deep as his teenage son not wanting to get a license.
Waldrop, in turn, said that he didn't want to be associated with the high politicized fraction of cops committing violence against black people, and even referenced a local county where a handcuffed young man was kicked in the face by a police officer. "There's nothing that makes that all right," he said.
Brown and Waldrop bond significantly during the episode. There's a degree of maintaining peace for the camera, but reality TV has always thrived on conflict, and here we see two men finding common ground and trying earnestly to learn from each other.
"We all have the ability to address these poignant, culturally relevant issues in a way that doesn’t turn people off, because we’re open," Brown said at the Netflix press event. "We listen, and they in turn listen to us, and I think that mutual respect is so great."
"People who would normally be turned off from watching a show about five gay men are gonna feel proud to see, first of all their selves represented in some of the heroes that we deal with, but also to see that we’re not attacking them for their views, we’re open to them," he added.
The new Fab Five exudes the energy and charisma characteristic of Queer Eyein its early iteration. The emphasis on similarities over differences shines through from the very first moments.
On Netflix, Queer Eyeisn't beholden to advertisers or a network. It isn't tied to New York (as it once was) or to the high couture brands that most Americans don't have access to. On at least one occasion, France outfits the episode's hero in clothing from Target; his cast mate Jonathan Van Ness teaches people how to make their own face masks when dropping $48 at Sephora isn't a realistic option.
"We have the luxury of being able to use what they have access to, and so this show in my opinion is a lot more accessible," France said. "I didn’t have Prada to go to, I had a vintage store, and a vintage store at best. So it’s showing people how they can relate what we’re teaching them to their real lives."
What really resonated for the cast were the connections they formed with the men they met and transformed for the series.
"I never in a million years expected to really, truly connect with these guys and be heartbroken when we had to leave them," said interior design expert Bobby Berk.
"To have them come up and say like, ‘You know what, I had my thoughts about what it was like to be gay,' and to see that change and to see this vulnerability and these grown-ass men — it never gets old," added Porowski.
Queer Eyeis now streaming on Netflix.
