Gay, straight, or indifferent, Monte Durham is a first-rate, first class human being. Giving of himself to others even without cameras is so awesome, and a great example. We can all do more to help others! ♥️ to Monte!
I meet Monte in an Atlanta mall and I asked him for his advice regarding my clothing choice for an upcoming job interview. I got the job! Also Monte invited me to come to the store and I loved it.
I could probably write a book on the virtues of Monte, he’s funny, talented, kind and loving to all to point out a few. I would love to have him as my best friend. The world is a better place with Monte in it. I’m an old straight lady who appreciates the qualities in Monte especially in the harsh world we live in today.
I think that if the world had more men like who you are trying to be each and every day that there would be no need for wars. You a wonderful human being. I pray the Lord will allow you to continue to be a light to all those who watch you. May the Lord bless and keep you and shine His light upon you. I love watching you and Lori. What a unique friendship. She is such a beautiful spirited woman of substance.
Mr. Monte, as the proud mother of an incredible lesbian daughter, please allow me to say that I have a complete crush on you and appreciate your work so much. Well done sugar. Carry on! All the best!
I love Monte, & I love that he is open not only about being part of the LGBTQ community, but that he's also open about growing up poor. There are so few role models for poor kids, so few opportunities for poor kids to see ourselves reflected in the media, & it can mean we grow up without a vision of who we can be. Monte is a great role model for kids from poor backgrounds (& everyone else too!), & his life is a demonstration of where perseverance, hardwork & kindness can take you.
I've discovered SYTTD during these times of staying home more than ever before. I really enjoy the programs from Bridals by Lori in the Atlanta area. Watching this interview I was struck by how much Monte and Lori resemble one another. I began noticing that about 3:00 minutes into the program. They look like they could be siblings, maybe even twins if they're close in age.
So good to learn and hear of his life beyond Say Yes to the Dress . Love late late at night watching him and Lori help make so many their best day ever ...... so so beautiful . Being yourself despite all !!!!
Monty , always liked you in SYTTDress , But , having watched this , I Love you . Yes , I'm sure your parents and grandparents are so very proud of you and all you have achieved . Monty Durham , you are loved
What a lovely, talented, kind, funny guy. I LOVE him on Say yes to the dress and his interaction with Lori is hilarious. This interview gave a real insight into what a beautiful person he is.
Monte.....you really are a class act! I watch SYTTD just to watch you.....the dresses are beautiful but you’re the star of the show! Thank you for being the human being that you are, and for giving us, your devoted fans this little insight into you..... I’m really delighted you are happy and fulfilled. You deserve everything The Universe gives you. Thank you for being you!
He's a sweetheart. Back in our days people really made it hard for Gay people. But, my Mom always had a soft spot in her heart for Gays, people of color, was good and loving to them. No discrimination. My Father was very discriminating. Be careful how you judge people, never know when it can hit home. I enjoyed Monte story. Thank you. Having a job that makes your Heart happy helping people is the greatest. May God Bless Monte.
Monte the first time I saw you was on Long Island Medium. Your love for your mother really captivated my heart. I really think you are a wonderful and special person. I love your style and have often wondered and wished that Men should be able to wear broaches or pins on their suits. The gold rose you wear is stunning with your Navy and Black Blazers. I am a HUGE JACKIE KENNEDY Fan. I am a lover of the White House and especially Jackie Kennedy's restoration and redecoration she did with the help of Jansen. Her Blue Room was absolutely stunning and I hope one day we will have a WH Committee that will restore it back to the Splendid appearance it had while she was First Lady. I love her style and look and my Mom always had the Jackie K look as long as she lived. I would love to meet you and talk one day about your life and experiences. May God bless you.
Love him and what he stands for. A true gentleman! Very true that we should all aspire to be like him encouraging, celebrating, caring about all people and creatures on the planet. We are all beautiful in God's eyes. God does not make mistakes. Great interview, learned a lot about Monty and why he is the way he is. Kudos to his parents and grandparents for instilling in him to be so giving and caring to all. I was born and raised in the Los Angeles area and have 6 siblings. My Dad worked and my Mom stayed home with us. They were born and raised in a small town in North Dakota. So we have midwestern values and morals. Proud of how we were raised and taught to help others whenever possible. A great example so like to think I have things in common with Monty!
Monte, your an a amazing man. You touch so many lives, and so many causes. Never stop being an obsessional person. Always be more than you can be. And I would love to tell you I am so sorry about your being bullied growing up. That people are mean but it also made you the strong, wonderful, caring person that you are. For which I am thankful for. Never let ANYONE bully you ever again. And always keep that awesome smile upon you face. 🤗
I LOVED THIS!!!!! Great interview, great questions! Monty is absolutely one of my favorite people on this planet!! He’s absolutely adorable and now I know even more about why I like him so much!
Love watching Monte and Lori on SYTTD - Atlanta they are great together and you see a genuine friendship between them. I love it when he Jack's up the Brides be making them look beautiful. Monte comes across as a true gentle man and very caring and kind
I can't watch it on TV but he is the reason I watch it online. Atlanta is my favorite "SAY YES TO THE DRESS." I love his "disguise" when he went out to get the pregnancy test for the client.🤣 He was afraid someone might see him. 🤣 I think he is just hilarious. I never knew his last name until now and never knew he had so many talents.
You are such a right on dude, Monte, and I love you lots. You and Lori are two beautiful peas in a pod and I have so much fun watching you two together!
I adore Monte! What an adorable child also! Not to mention handsome teenager. I can t imagine that he would be bullied. Such mean nasty people in this world. Probably jealousy and insecurity. Insecure people that need attention think they make themselves look above and better than they are by making others look lower and smaller. And they are soooo wrong. No one but other bullies that are insecure falls for it though.
Monte you are a true gentleman and so kind and caring. Your being gay or straight is something private and personal for you and it is what makes you the lovely person you are. Nobody should judge another person. I love to watch you with Lori , you 'bounce' off each other. You are so special and so inspirational and we all just love you.
Dear Monte, I so enjoy you! Your personal, sincere, caring, and fun! Your interview told me lots about you. You’re awesome!! You and Lori are entertaining. Keep it up💕👍😘🏆
Gay, straight, or indifferent, Monte Durham is a first-rate, first class human being. Giving of himself to others even without cameras is so awesome, and a great example. We can all do more to help others! ♥️ to Monte!
A man who treats others with kindness and respect. Thank you Monty for setting such an example of being such a gentleman
Having been so mistreated growing up, it's a testament to Monty's inner nature that he is still such a gentle and loving person. Love you, Monty!
You are truly a gentleman, one of the last.
That’s why he’s so kind to others, because he knows how it feels to be bullied
Monte is a treasure. I didn’t know about any of this. Great interview.
I meet Monte in an Atlanta mall and I asked him for his advice regarding my clothing choice for an upcoming job interview. I got the job! Also Monte invited me to come to the store and I loved it.
Monty is elegant but so real love him💕💐
What a lovely man. I could listen to him for hours.
Great interview with Monty, an honourable gentleman 😊
Beautiful interview. Monty is a good, kind, loving human being.
I love Monte and Lori, they are both so kind and giving

❤️🌟I LOVE Monte he is a such good person we need more people like him💛 IN THIS WORLD🙌🏽✌️
Monte, you make me smile!!! God bless you and Lori!!
Monte is more than a survivor, he is a hero, He is a giver , always looking for a way and a place to give. Oh! And he is a joy to watch.
I could tell what a kind man this was from the very beginning!
A very nice person that brings joy to others. Thank you Monty
