“I think the biggest thing I’ve learned is authenticity, leading with compassion and kindness, but never making apologies for who you are.”
Jai Rodriguez became a household name (and an Emmy award winner) on the original Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. He has also starred on Broadway, scripted television, and c0-authored a New York Times best-selling book. We scored some time with the Queerties nominee to chat about how he has continued to re-invent himself, while staying true to himself.
The INNOVATOR AWARD, at the Queerties celebrates talented individuals are multi-hyphenates who have worn many hats, and strived to evolve and innovate, to make their dreams a reality. Vote for Jai and all your LGBTQ favorites once a day, per device, until voting closes on February 16th. Happy voting! 🏆

I have found Jai honest and talented. I liked him and the others on the original Queer Eye and other projects he’s done. I sure don’t know what the other two comments have against him. He seems pretty genuine to me.

He has made a decent name for himself. I saw him off- Broadway in Zanna Don’t. The guy can sing! I wish him all the best, and have voted for him daily on the Queereties
