On Thursday evening, an exhausted Sarah McBride sank into a pale yellow armchair in her Congressional office. It had been a long week, and she still had to drive two hours home to Delaware-but first, she'd agreed to watch the new Queer Eye, the tenth and final season of the hit Netflix makeover show, which is set in DC.
