    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!

    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!

    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'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.

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.

    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 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.

    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.

    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. 🤗

    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.

    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 was marvelous in this interview, which was really more like a monologue. Would love to see him interviewed by Maria Bartiromo, where they discuss what Monte's learned about human nature, not only from his struggles growing up but also from the fraught world of bridal drama.
      Maria's programming focuses on financial news and issues, but she does have guests of general interest from time to time. I think her Brooklyn vibe and Monte's WV/GA sensibilities would make for wonderful conversation. I'd also like to see Monte have the benefit of wider exposure that Maria's program would bring. One of her shows is always at the top of the weekly cable ratings.

    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.
