[Matt22013]

One thing that very much irks me about Queer Eye is how the show presents queer culture as a culture of affluence and consumerism. For some reason being queer invovles a brand new designer wardrobe, a flat screen TV, fine wines, hip brand new furniture, etc. The show never shows anything that is of actual cultural significance, or really anything that is unique to queer culture, but somehow the fab 5 have become the spokesmen for all gaykind. Homosexuals may tend to have more disposable income than their heterosexual counterparts, but it’s kind of rediculous. There are poor and middle class gay people too, and I feel like this show says to them ‘well, you might like to bugger men but you can’t really be gay because you can’t afford all this nice stuff.’
