Summary

Carson Kressley has been busy. Since debuting as the original "Fashion Savant" on Queer Eye in 2003, Carson's been a part of RuPaul's Drag Race, Drag Race All Stars, Get A Room With Carson and Thom on Bravo, Carson Nation on OWN, Dancing With the Stars, and the Miss Universe pageant — to name a few. Today he talks about criticism of the original Queer Eye, dating, being called "daddy," and recently realizing, "Oh, my God. I've outlived Judy Garland." LGBTQ&A is hosted by Jeffrey Masters and produced by The Advocate magazine, in partnership with GLAAD. @lgbtqpod

0:51.3	Carson Cressley has been busy since Queer Eye. And that show, which
0:56.6	really was a historical anomaly when it came out in 2003, it helped pave the way for so much
1:03.3	of the other representation that we celebrate and take for granted today. And so that is where
1:09.5	we start our conversation. Now, just to note, this originally

1:26.4	All right, from the Advocate magazine in partnership
