Jonathan Van Ness, the hair-care guru from Netflix's Queer Eye, is set to host an event in DC, but his recent interview focused on his comedy tour in various politically mixed states. He believes in the need for queer spaces in red areas, drawing on his rural Illinois roots. Van Ness cites inspiring turnouts at events like the No Kings March in Oklahoma City, highlighting the desire for queer representation and connection amidst a politically charged atmosphere, showcasing the significance of community and hope.
I think it's partly because I grew up in Illinois, which is a blue state, but I'm from really rural Illinois, where there are huge communities of queer people that want to be seen.
It's important to create safe spaces where queer communities can come together, and during my shows in red and purple states, there's been an inspiring turnout from those communities.
