Queer Eye is missing something the more it moves away from straight male subjects

"It’s not that the reboot’s episodes featuring women, trans, or gay subjects aren’t great," says Hazel Cills, "....it’s that in widening the scope of the Fab Five’s reign, the show implies that straight men who have lived their lives under the weight of heteronormative expectations are no longer relevant in terms of fixing, even though masculinity is still one hell of a drug in 2019....The show is at its best when the Fab Five are pushing their male subjects towards something else: accountability. That is, the idea that straight men need to finally reckon with the fact that they have, up until this moment, been off the hook for what is traditionally feminine labor: cooking, cleaning themselves properly, making a home, etc." ALSO: Queer Eye is better off moving away from straight males with more diverse subjects.
