Carson Kressley broke barriers for gays in television, and he sees no reason that more guys can’t do the same in professional sports.
TMZ Sports caught up with the former Queer Eye For The Straight Guy guru at LAX, and he had some pretty choice words for the neanderthals who still think gays can’t play sports:
“I went out with a football player who was actually in the Super Bowl, so there.”
Well damn, Carson!
The football player in question is former Atlanta Falcons tackle Esera Tualo, who came out on HBO’s Real Sports shortly after retiring in 2002. Tualo also released his autobiography Alone in the Trenches: My Life As a Gay Man in the NFL in 2006.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Carson says he and Tualo are still good friends, and if you can’t get enough of the Kress (yes, we just made that up), he’s holding court judging season 8 of RuPaul’s Drag Race.

“Carson Kressley broke barriers for gays in television.”
Huh? You give makeovers to straight guys and that counts as breaking barriers for gays in TV?

I can’t see the two together but who cares what I see.. as long as they were attracted and care about one another… Great for them!!

Well the guy probably though the was having sex with a chick- there’s probably not too much of a difference.. Accept that nose!!!! Oy!!!

I could see that. Sexy Esera Tuaolo’s current husband resembles Carson Kressley, I think. He’s a blond hair hair dresser. Maybe that’s Tuaolo’s type. Good for him and them, and thanks again to Tuaolo for bravely coming out!

@Glücklich: What a mean and true thing to say.

Time to go “queer eye for the gay guy”. Whats with that truly hideous jacket?
Damon Strong
The NFL is loaded with gay players. Not a big shock.
Andrew Mons
