Queer Eye fans raise nearly $100,000 to send LFK woman disowned by family back to college.

Queer Eye fans have rallied around Lawrence, Kansas, resident Jess Guilbeaux after a recent episode when they learned she was forced to drop out of college because she could not afford it.

Before amassing more than 67,000 followers on Instagram, Guilbeaux spoke openly on Queer Eye about being estranged from her family after she revealed she was gay. She said it left her financially unable to pursue her dreams of getting a college degree.

When she came out as a lesbian at 16, her adoptive parents kicked her out of the house. Despite no family support, Guilbeaux eventually made it to the University of Kansas to study computer science. But the pressure of going to school and earning a living collided and left her with little choice but to quit.

After her transformation on the show came the tears, the hugs, and then a wave of online support, including a message from Grammy-nominated Kansas City artist Janelle Monáe, who called Guilbeaux her "personal hero."

"I'm inspired by her," Guilbeaux said. "Like what else can you ask for?"

Though she never asked for it, a "Queer Eye" fan launched a GoFundMe page to send Guilbeaux back to school, which just passed its $100,000 goal.

Jess Guilbeaux, from Queer Eye Season 3 , Episode 5, is a strong, black lesbian woman.

When she came out to her adoptive family at 16, they threw her out and she's been on her own financially ever since.

She started taking classes at the University of Kansas as a Computer Science major but had to drop out due to debt.

Let's send this smart and strong woman back to college to complete what she began and give her the future she deserves.

Jess is in touch with the organizer and all the proceeds will go to her :)

Black Girl Magic; Kaija Villagrand (Part 2)

Queer Eye’s “Black Girl Magic” does a fantastic job of addressing the gender stereotypes that Jess faces as a lesbian, and it also does a great job of reflecting on societal norms that affect the way people think about sexuality as a whole. Jess grew up in a very religious family, and spent her childhood worrying about how her adoptive parents would react when she came out as a lesbian. Jess hoped that they would love her enough to accept her regardless of her sexual orientation. This in itself is heartbreaking, and it reflects the awful truth that it is acceptable in our society to abandon someone due to their sexual orientation. Someone from Jess’s high school outed her to her adoptive parents, and their immediate reaction was to kick her out of their home. Due to this rejection, Jess is afraid of her identity and experiences anxiety when it comes to telling people that she is a lesbian. Jess explains that whenever she starts a new job in Kansas, she has to accept that she may lose the job as soon as she comes out as a lesbian. The terrible reality that she may face unemployment due to her sexual orientation has led Jess to feel ashamed of who she is. This is a reflection of how societal norms regarding sexuality can lead a person to believe there is something wrong with them. These societal norms also reflect the idea behind conversion camps, which attempt to change people’s sexual or gender identities. The Fab Five make a point of teaching Jess to love her entire identity. As five Queer men, they are able to relate to Jess’s experiences with homophobia. They also highlight the fact that her adoptive parent’s homophobia is a fault of their own, and that Jess needs to figure out who her real family is, because a true family would never abandon her like her adoptive family did. In this episode, Bobby Berk, the Fab Five’s interior design expert, reconnects Jess with her sister Janice to remind her that Jess does actually have a family who cares for her. The Fab Five’s role in this episode is to show Jess that she is loved and to bring out the things in her life that bring her happiness and comfort.

While Jess has experienced many struggles regarding her gender and sexual identity, she has also faced racism as a Black woman in Kansas. Karamo Brown, the Fab Five’s culture expert and activist, dedicated his time in “Black Girl Magic” to making sure Jess embraces her culture and ethnicity. When discussing her taste in music, Jess expresses that Paramore is one of her favorite groups ever. Jess says she loves Paramore, but she used to get picked on for listening to rock music. She says she got called an “oreo” all the time, because her peers decided that her taste in music made her “less Black”. She says that this has led her to have a warped sense of Black culture and what it means to be a Black woman. With her experience, she feels like she can’t really fit in. This is a reflection of the repercussions of racism around the world. Due to the fact that Paramore is a white rock band from Tennessee, Jess is made fun of for liking their music because it makes her “less Black”. In an attempt to help Jess feel connected with her culture, Karamo Brown brings her to the Friends of Alvin Ailey Studio. Alvin Ailey is one of the most prolific African American modern dancers who has established a company that has become successful worldwide. The Alvin Ailey Studio celebrates Black excellence with the goal of inspiring young people who are the future of Black excellence. The dancers in the studio tell their stories of being told that they aren’t Black enough, and hearing these similar experiences allowed Jess to realize that she isn’t alone and that there are people who relate to what she has been through. This experience at the Alvin Ailey Studio highlights the importance of finding your authentic self, which is exactly what Karamo Brown wanted for Jess when he brought her there.

This episode of Queer Eye reflected many current political issues in today’s society. One main issue in today’s society has been white people’s lack of respect for Black culture. This has been shown through the trend of white people wearing Black hairstyles, for example box braids. This is disgraceful because Black women have endured a painful history of having to erase their cultural identity associated with their natural hair, while white women have had the privilege of easily removing their hairstyles as they please and escaping prejudice. I was reminded of these scandals in “Black Girl Magic” when Jess explained to Jonathan Van Ness, the Fab Five’s grooming expert, that she was forced to wear her hair straight or wear a perm from a very young age. Jess’s family probably made Jess wear her hair straight to avoid the prejudice that is connected with Black hairstyles in America. According to Jonathan, “Jess was never able to be curious about her hair because society taught her that it needs to be straighter”. In America, Black women may not be hired in a corporate job due to their hairstyles. Jess has felt forced to conform to Eurocentric standards of beauty in order to feel accepted and hopefully avoid discrimination. This contributed to her loss of personal identity and confusion as she grew up. Jonathan Van Ness’s makeover allowed Jess to embrace her natural hair, which reminded her of her natural beauty and led her to feel proud of her appearance and self. This newfound confidence greatly contributed to Jess’s positive change. Overall, the Fab Five’s makeover for Jess Guilbeaux was extremely successful, and according to Jess, they all showed her that “...it’s beautiful and sexy to like, care for yourself [...] and it’s cute and confident to just be Black, and be gay, and be a woman and what that is is me and I’m always that”.

Research Journal 3

“Centaurus Burns” by Taurus Burns: A self-portrait painting exploring his interracial identity, primarily Black and White. I choose this piece because I’m also a mixture of Black and White and feel I can relate to the exploration and hidden messages of this piece (as well as his other work; www.taurusburns.com/).

“Seoul Home” by Do Ho Suh: A silk and metal armature sculpture of Suh’s childhood home, showing his origin and culture. I choose this piece because it involves identifying where a person is originally from.

"Jess with Blue and Leather" by Kim Leutwyler: A portrait of Jess Guilbeaux in Oil and acrylic on canvas, exploring and expressing Jess's identity. I choose this because it's another artist discussing and learning more about someone else, who they identify, and their story.

Will the Fab Five Give Gritty a Makeover on Queer Eye’s Rumored Philly Season?

Netflix-branded Queer Eye casting fliers have been spotted around Philadelphia recently, suggesting that the members of the Fab Five are headed to the City of Brotherly Love to film a new season of the hit lifestyle makeover show in the near future. A photo of one of these fliers was posted to Reddit yesterday, and a few other pics of the casting call announcements are floating around Twitter. According to the Philly Voice, a local boutique called Shazza Shop shared an Instagram message about how the show will be filming from June through September, although it looks like that post has since been deleted.

Netflix has yet to confirm that the series is filming in the area. But of course, if Queer Eye does shoot in Philly this summer, the producers should really certainly consider doing something with Philadelphia Flyers mascot Gritty. Like the members of the Fab Five — food expert Antoni Porowski, life coach Karamo Brown, grooming specialist Jonathan Van Ness, style expert Tan France, and design hot shot Bobby Berk — Gritty also rose from relative obscurity last year and quickly became a pop culture superstar. While many Flyers fans think the shaggy orange monster is perfect just the way he is, surely the members of the Fab Five could introduce Gritty to some new forms of self care that could help him reach his full potential as a googly-eyed mirth maker.

The Kansas City-themed third season of Queer Eye premiered on Netflix last month, and the Fab Five guys also filmed a mini season in Tokyo earlier this year. Presumably, if the crew does film in Philly this summer, these episodes won’t air till early 2020. No word yet on what Antoni might have planned, but some sort of market vegetable riff on a cheesesteak or a canapé version a roast pork and broccoli rabe sandwich seem like distinct possibilities.

In other Queer Eye news, fans of the show raised more than $90,000 for Jess Guilbeaux, the Kansas City woman who was kicked out of her home for being a lesbian and later dropped out of college because she couldn’t pay off her debt. According to a rep for GoFundMe, Guilbeaux managed to pay her college loans thanks to these fan donations.

Stay tuned for any and all updates on the next season of Queer Eye as they become available.
