The reason Queer Eye is so influential is partly because there’s no other show like it. No one’s going to write a gay Muslim. No one’s going to write a super feminine and flamboyant guy with long hair who wears all types of clothing without him being a punchline at best. The reason this show resonates so much with people is because they can find a piece of themselves in every one of the Fab Five, and in a good way. The show portrays gays being touchy feely friends with big hearts who just want to help people, and that’s kind of spectacular.
