Even as a gay man, I’ll admit I misunderstood JVN as a person when I first started watching Queer Eye. He has shown me so much about what it means to be a man, but even to be gender non-conforming and that it’s not scary at all! The fact he can rock a beard, skirt, heels, shirt, and a ponytail is absolutely AMAZING! If you’re reading this Johnathan, you look AMAZING! Keep it up! You’re an example to us all!
As a fellow non-binary person, I couldn't agree with you more.
Can we just appreciate how smart Jonathan Van Ness is
BJ yyyyeeeessssss! thank you!
No. He's a race/gender hustler making stuff up that it's a dangerous world for transgenders right now. The facts don't add up.
If you believe 18 Transpeople have been murdered this year, that's literally 0.00000005% of the population. The homicide rate for men is almost 4% and the homicide rate for women is 1%. Sounds like they're pretty safe overall.
@@hectorheck1353 You can't possibly be THAT stupid
@@josucantu1593 Ummmm, data?
Additionally, he tries to say that today's environment is toxic, yet there's so little that people actually have to fabricate it. LOL
He's just like the race hustler Al Sharpton.
@@josucantu1593 I refuse to believe that anyone coming to the comment section of the rare TH-cam video that highlights nonbinary identities thinks this is the best place to find data on Trans women's oppression - or that they are coming here in good faith.
“If you put a frog in boiling water” * looks at audience* “which we should NEVER do.”
LOLOLOL
Get you a friend who can style you and educate you. Who can giggle and gag then discuss and advocate.
Honey, you can be that gorgeous friend! :)
Right? Everyone needs a Johnathan.
YES!
Mavicity Agreed, & just make you want to hug him😊❤
Mavicity This
You can see on Colbert’s face that he’s like, “this kid is pretty great!” Bet they’ll be friends going forth. 👍🏾
I love that he’s always pointing out the role Planned Parenthood plays in HIV testing and how Trump and Pence have ended that.
By no means am I a trump supporter... I can't stand him... But do you know the true history of Planned Parenthood? Do you know who Margaret Sanger is? Do you know it was started by a eugenicist, or someone who wanted to decimate minorities? Once I found out about the history of Planned Parenthood, it really shocked and disgusted me. Do some research on it and you would be surprised.
@@serious7179 Be fair though. That is NOT what PP is about today.
@@ffeff8353 I'm not so sure... That wasn't so long ago...Never dismiss the broken foundation of a house because the exterior looks solid. I'm not able to separate Planned Parenthood from their racists beginning, but I'm glad it's so easy for some people to. No one from that organization has even stood up against how it was began, so how can I take any efforts that they make as genuine?
@@serious7179 because... reality? I'm not dismissing your point, simply saying that it is not a part of the modern PP mission -- in fact, PP overwhelmingly fills in the gaps affecting minorities and the dispossessed when it comes to health care -- and that many worthwhile institutions started off as one thing and then morphed into another (in both directions, too).
@@serious7179 I've seen memes that supposedly quote Sanger discussing eugenics in the black community.
I've read the actual letter the "quote" is taken from and it says the opposite.
Here is a Twitter thread I found debunking the basic meme while quoting the letter.
twitter.com/KevinMKruse/status/1182731694350196736?s=20
As for her view on "eugenics" - neither of us are well read on Sanger's views on this so we shouldn't form strong opinions.
My impression is it is more nuanced than her critics give her credit for, and I bet many of the far right wingers who use her to bash PP would actually agree with many of her positions.
Regardless, Sanger's views shouldn't be a determining factor for PP funding.
Will be referring to the LGBTQIA+ community as "the whole crew" from here on out.
Sassier AND easier to say ^^
Have no idea what about half of the letters stand for, but fully support "the whole crew".
@@mbd6054 (google is free)
Yeah, my biggest issue with the community name has been it gets longer and longer or the + is stuck in a different place. I mean, jeeze, they need a name that covers them all without having to think if anyones being left out.
@@umang95 Queer, Intersex, Agender and more. I think. Open to friendly correction.
I love it how Stephen calls it 'positive status' instead of calling it a 'disease'

THANK YOU
S Md True! But there’s so many misconceptions around HIV that it’s nice to see when somebody gets it right.
Great observation, YES.
@@Juxxer My brain hurts from all the stupidity
I highly recommend the Audio book, he does all the reading and is so lovely to hear him tell it in his own voice.
Good to know, thx!
Ooh! That tips the scales
The amount of time and respect that Stephen gave JVN cements him as my favorite late-night host.
Yes, the space he gave to let JVN go through the whole story side tracked and all.
If my child grows up to be as strong as JVN I'd be the proudest parent
To become that strong most of the time people have to experience a lot of s§€%. I don’t wish that on your kid. Be him a good example and I hope he grows up strong without the sad, hurtful, devastating things!
sensory deprivation He’s strong cause he can wear a dress in public?
I have a baby boy of my own. Watching him sleep I can't help but wonder what if... What if he is gay. There's a minute of fear because I know what kind of shit my gay friends have had to deal with every time they turn around. Then jst how it was when I first met my gay friends or anyone in general, I was not so sure about them n took me a little while to get to know them. Then once I did get to know them I relaxed n was like, you are damn cool! Jst be you! Now I dont care. Even my old dad says he doesn't care either. If my baby is gay.... Hes going to be FIERCE!! Yas queen!! U better RUN Bitch!! Hahaha!! All u freaky ppl are gonna have to get thru ME and my baby's GRANDPARENTS n our fucking FAMILY to even look at him. We love our children no matter what. Children are gifts. They were sent to us to take care of, for a reason.
@@kishapotts6869 everyone goes through stuff so you can never know. we can only wish them a happy and easy life
@@hirvar For sure! Life can be so hard for anyone. But we can choose for ourselves to be a light for those who end up in a dark place. I want so much to protect my boy. And my friends who I love. Sadly I know thats kind of impossible. So I'll just be a nice warm hug and a nice strong shoulder to cry on :)
DAT FINAL FANTASY PRELUDE INTRO. Jon Batiste, you magical fairy
It was beautiful
I thought so!!
I wonder why though...
I so happy someone else noticed that!
I immediately paused and looked at the comments to see if anyone else noticed. Yay!
I literally squeeled at work LOL
Jonathan is such a light! Strong, smart, well-informed and fabulous!
lvnndr Crazy that you think this positive person is anything less than amazing and someone to look up to. Your thought process seems the only evil thing here.
@lvnndr ❄️❄️❄️❄️
@lvnndr I feel sorry for your cat
@lvnndr Boys and Men wearing anything other than pants is a threat to civilization! No one tell the Scots, Ancient Romans, Ancient Greeks, Gauls or any of the innumerable other civilizations in which men wore dresses, skirts and other decidedly non pants garments and yet still managed to have a civilization.
@B Brunnin Everything you said plus thankyou!
I love JVN, he really is a little ray of sunshine! And I love how Stephen lets him talk, other hosts would just interrupt their guests.
HIV/AIDS is no longer an automatic death sentence. People simply do not understand how quickly science and medicine has progressed on this issue.
i think he was also trying to make a point about how HIV/AIDS should have had good resources way back when and if they had, they would have made bigger strides sooner, but due to the stigmatization around it, funding was delayed/neglected and people still don't talk about it.
Alex Hristova Agreed. Good point.
SOME people don't realise the advances of science, but some people also think the world is flat. Trust me, no matter how much you educate people, there will always be idiots.
It's not an automatic death sentence like it was in the 80s/90s, but it still comes with a lot of issues. My partner of 15 years passed way two years ago from HPV related throat cancer that spread to his lungs. He was an ID doc that specialized in HIV. He had HIV. When you get cancer or really any illness, it complicates treatment and your survival rate lowers dramatically. Unfortunately, people think that once when you get HIV, that you just take pills and you're good to go into old age like everybody else. That's not the case. Plus we don't know the long-term consequences of these drugs. There's a reason why Atripla etc are no longer used. It's a trade off. PreP comes with it potential long term risks as many have already found out with Atripla. It's not as simple as it's not a death sentence and you'll die of a heart attack/cancer like everybody else. It can cut decades off your life even on the drugs.
MD D I’m sorry for your loss. I only meant that science allows people to not automatically be consigned to death when they get their HIV diagnosis. I understand that there are of course serious complications when it comes to living with a condition of that severity.
Under all that bubbliness and being funny and cute he's a very smart, well read person.
JVN is highly intelligent and empathetic. I don't read many autobiographies, but this one is fantastic: legitimately inspiring, sad and hilarious. He's right to be like, "no, but really, read the whole story in the book..." because he must have put a lot of work into writing it.
No shit
we’re in desprerate need of people like him, he’s out there being a role model for young lgbt men and women and in the meantime he speaks about such important issues !!!! while also being the most welcoming and radiant person ever, he’s truly amazing
I consider him one of my role-models, and I'm straight :)
Anyone with symptoms mental health issues should check out the Andrew Cutler protocol. Google «andy cutler rebecca rust lee» for a great article explaining the protocol, and search for the success stories, and «what not to do» as there are things that you might be taking that is hurting you, like cilantro and chlorella. Wish you all the best
Riiiiight... 🤮🤮🤮🤮
Absolutly!!
Siri Olsen What the heck are you even talking about? Seems like you’re in the wrong place.
Holy shit, we've done it! We found the unicorn that is an entirely positive comment section! At least so far. That's super refreshing y'all
That's because the right is tolerant of people. We understand free will. We don't agree with this lifestyle but it's each person's choice. You do you. I wish the left could be this way, but no. Right now they are attacking police and Trump supporters in Minneapolis with rocks and urine. All because the left can't accept someone having a different opinion. Ironic.
Bagrilla Jenkins Lol The complaints America has with the Criminal-in-Chief & his White Nationalist Cult of Hatriots goes farther than not just liking a differing opinion. Stealing & caging little brown babies at the border, taking away a woman’s ability to make decisions over her body, the stealing of a Supreme Court Justice who is poised to take away the rights of LGBT, the breaking of our laws, violating the Constitution that requires Congressional Oversight, the bitchslapping of allies while kissing up to murderous dictators, the breaking of treaties, his personal War on Global Trade,... I could go on, & on, (& you KNOW it) but unlike Agolf Twitler I will spare you. Just be aware that this disagreement isn’t just over some minor differences of opinion. Benedict Donald is an existential threat to not only America, but to the entire world (if you doubt that, just ask your neighborhood Kurd)
*Country over Party. Country over Cult.*
🇺🇸 *NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW* 🗽
@@dafttool This is easy. Obama started separating children, Trump ended it. Were you crying about it back then? It's rhetorical, I already know you weren't. Making decisions over HER body is one thing, making decisions whether a baby is murdered or not for convenience is another. Kavanaugh was extensively investigated 7 times, more than any justice in history, and not one shred of proof to hearsay was established. That's not theft of a justice, not to mention he's more moderate on abortion and lgbt than people understand because they don't listen. I have a list of 78 times Obama broke the law. Would you like to see it? Congressional oversight has been utilized since before Trump took office, more than any president in history. HIS ENTIRE TERM! Neverending investigation is loathsome and will get him reelected, guaranteed. Even our allies have been taking advantage of our generosity for decades, and rectification is needed. Kissing up to dictators is called diplomacy. It's a tactic to prevent WW3. We broke no treaty. We left the Paris climate treaty because of it's unfairness. You know like allowing China to build coal fired plants for the next 12 years while we have to shut ours down, even though we were exceeding CO2 reductions more than any other country and China was ignoring them completely. That's just one example of how ridiculous the demand against us was. And Iran wasn't following their treaty. They continued enrichment and didn't allow inspectors into certain areas. As for trade, why should we pay more in tariffs? Why not free and balanced like everyone else does it? China would not abide says numerous world powers. Therefore tariffs for them. Lastly, both the Kurds and Turks are allies. We pulled 100 troops. 100 soldiers upsets the balance of power for them? They have been warring for centuries. This is not our fight. We defended the kurds against ISIS, not Turkey. Just because they hate each other, it's not our business. Trump made a promise to stop the endless war, bring troops home, and he's fulfilling it. He hasn't started any war. Obama racked up 5. Why has the left become so warmongering? 20 years ago it was the opposite, all the way back as far as I can think. I can refute your claims all day. Your hate blinds you to the truth.
@@dafttool in addition, I voted for Obama once. Upon reflection I regret it. I didn't vote for Trump, but I will. As a moderate, I would rather have Tulsi but the DNC is rigged. Since the left has gone loco and abandoned us in the middle in favor of free everything for illegals, they reap what they sow. Trump will be reelected, even after the house impeaches him. It's the hate of the left for the middle class white working man that is their demise. As Bill Maher said quoting a study, nobody hates their own kind more than the white liberal.
Bagrilla Jenkins So many lies in your post (forgive me if I miss a few, the lack of addressing anything will NOT be an admission of any sort) First & foremost, Obama wasn’t STEALING children & caging them. Obama kept families together. Trump IS STEALING (he hasn’t stopped) children from their families, & caging them, “losing” THOUSANDS in the process (due to bureaucratic incompetence & inhumane indifference; THOUSANDS being sexually assaulted by government personnel according Trump’s own numbers). Obama deported twice the number of people as Trump, while Trump has instead been packing people into internment camps like sardines, breaking our own laws against the mistreatment of prisoners & denying them their Due Process, while violating international laws on asylum seekers. America is the ONLY country no longer signed onto the Paris Accords. Trump ripped up TPP, & he ripped up the Nuclear Treaty with Russia. Trump is threatening to rip up NATO accords. He has ripped up NAFTA. Iran WAS following the Iran Treaty, which Europe, China & Russia were also signed onto (Trump wanted additional things added to the treaty, so he ripped up the old one. That’s NOT how you get a new treaty) His War on Global Trade now has cost the American Farmers so badly, he now has given them a (socialist) bailout that is twice what we did to the Auto industry after the Great Recession (which they paid back; the farmers won’t be paying their bailouts back). Foreclosures & farmer suicides are skyrocketing, the corporate farmers getting the bulk of the payouts while average farmers are being crushed. Meanwhile, those tariffs are paid by Americans, a giant tax on consumers.
The stealing of the Supreme Court Seat has nothing to do with Kegger Kav’s date rape accusations (btw, a person claiming themself as a victim is NOT hearsay, but direct witness evidence) The stealing of Garland’s seat was done before Kegger Kav. (Nice conflation there on your part.) Article One of the Constitution says that the President MUST submit to Congressional Oversight. Trump has refused throughout (adding to his impeachment charges). You want MY list of Trump’s crimes? I bet you would be astonished on just how long & extensive it is. (You spared me yours so I will spare you mine). You won’t be able to vote for Trump. He is going to be removed, just like Nixon was when the GOP Senate told him to go. (Neither of us know for sure on that, so 🍿 for all & enjoy)
*The Emperor With No Clothes* is failing in fabulous fashion,
His enabling cultists blind to the naked truth before them
He’s so endearing and lovable. Such a light in our seemingly dark world lately.
Totally.
The boiling frog metaphor is hitting me hard.... Didn't realize I knew it already.
That from analogy is false. Frogs aren't that stupid. Otherwise it's a great metaphor!
You may like Aesops Fables.
Its science! Slowly turning up the heat is the gradual change that goes unnoticed until its hotter than safety would allow.
But wouldn't the frog jump out when it sensed discomfort?
@@linnycrocus6023 Frogs are Poikilotherm (I had to google lol). Their body temperature changes based on the environment. Frog's body temp increases as the water boils over without them noticing the change. The organs shut down and leads to death without them realizing it.
I believe wonderful JVN holds the current record for more words per second in a late night show interview.
As a non-native speaker it is a challenge to keep up with him!! But he is more than worth the effort!
@Murilo Melo I don’t know I think it might actually be Howard Stern or director Kevin Smith (I’m surprised Smith doesn’t faint from not stopping for breath!) who would hold that record
Atta Girrl! I'm nearly 60 & have been HIV+ for 30 yrs now! I never thought I'd make it past 32 & yet here I am (no matter where I go)
Keep on keeping on!

HUGS!

I love how Jonathan Van Ness can go from crazy silly and bubbly to discussing important LGBTQIA+ issues without blinking an eye
Jonathan Van Ness is a beautiful shining light who exudes love and hope.
Wow, he is relentlessly adorable.
Jasmine Houston-Burns that’s a great way of putting it!
Jasmine Well stated
JVN is an angel and they deserve all the love in the universe.
JVN, the frou-frou is real, protective, playful, inspirational and an occasional cover for a serious man of intelligence, depth and courage. Don’t underestimate him.
It’s definitely a cover
Honest and raw, with humor, I love how Jonathan is able to be so open. Incredibly, I found out I had cancer at 25, so hearing him talk about how his doctor discussing his HIV treatment plans at the same age (though years separated, as I'm older than he is) and how he'd die of a heart attack or.. cancer just like everyone else hit home.
Jonathan now has to record a single called “honey she’s an onion”.
Jonathan literally looks like if David Tennant and Michael Sheen had a son and i'm here for it!
omg I see it
Wait...how did I not see that?!
um, no
Um right!?
i missed that part in good omens
i don't watch his show but his energy and positivity is so.... infectious. i can't stop watching him.
Yoy need to watch Queer eye. They're all awesome
You can also check his podcast, he's done great interviews
Colbert seems to respect and like this person very much.
Colbert is respectful to everyone and asks meaningful, non judgemental questions. Plus he is the few comedians who challenge trump head on
I was so excited to hear he was going to be on the show but was worried he'd be limited to a 7 minute interview. I was SO HAPPY when I saw it was 15 minutes! Please have him on more regularly :D
socrappyicoulddie
And he filled every one of those minutes with loving effervescence. 😁
I could listen to him talk for hours! You can tell how passionate he is about everything he talked about!
JVN is such a thoughtful, articulate, and intelligent speaker. I appreciate his honesty, sincerity, and efforts to help others. I wish him well on his life journey.

Stephen talked about his light! Awwww. So sweet.
I’m going to say it. JVN is an American treasure.
Please no.... We want some of him too, he's too good to just be an American treasure. Can we please make him a Global Treasure or something similar? ;)
I might allow it. But you can’t keep him.
@@brandiebishop8473 Well.... Okay, I think we can share :P
Oh my, his words ripped my heart...what an amazing human being. I wish him all the happiness in the world 💙
If anyone deserves to be happy, it's him!!
1. This interview was incredible and as someone who knew nothing about JVN I'm now a huge fan.
2. I TOTALLY heard the Final Fantasy title screen playing in the music that he entered to and I just want to say to whichever musician did that, I SEE YOU. ❤️
informed people informing others passionately
@ivorbukovac I'm sorry your life sucks, kiddo
I love him SO much! I watch anything with him in it and he makes me smile. He is such a beautiful person and a bright light and we need more people like him in this world. 💗 💕💕🙏🏼🙏🏼
I so LOVE how Stephen engages with guests and isn´t afraid to ask when he doesn´t understand something. Bright, loving people are such a bliss to listen to!
finehomemadewine oh, so well said!
JVN, my beautiful non-binary icon.
Such a positive and lovely person, in spite of everything he had gone through in life. He managed to put a positive thought in my head, the first one in months, and a smile on my face, also a first genuine one in... forever. You go, girl!
The whole crew.....you know all of us! I love him so much!
I haven’t even watched Queer Eye and have fallen in love with him just by watching him doing interviews.
I love how Colbert can recognize that he's "A ray of sunshine".
Questioning my biases after watching this. Wasn’t expecting the interview to go this way when he walked in.
Ndjfbd Bdjfjbd he’s a complex package in every way but truly a brilliant person with a lot of really bare truths.
What do you mean? What did you expect?
I'm not going to lie, I was put off by his entrance too. (Hey, I'm sorry for having biases, I'm only human. The best I can do is try to overcome them. Admitting them and recognizing that they're wrong is the first step.)
But I'm glad I watched the whole interview. He's an interesting personality and highly intelligent. I'm glad he's able to accept himself and has been able to build a platform.
Rogue Blue aren’t you so woke. F you!
Jay Lee same here. I just thought things were going to be silly when I watched the entrance, but ended up being pleasantly surprised.
Such a gem!
I married Jonathan Van Ness a year ago in my heart...
He made me his "bitch" in the grey-bar hotel! I didn't get shanked!
FF Prelude, that's the perfect entrance song for JVN.
I'm from KY - several generations - we have a lot to be proud of... but Mitch isn't one of them. VOTE HIM OUT KENTUCKY. We are better than this!
I’m rooting for you guys down there. I feel bad for anyone that lives in a red state.
@@Eamenic1 yeah but May I remind you that there are shitheads like Devin Nunes from California too

The fact that JVN knows about "Dante's Peak," a movie my mom and I watched and re-watched throughout my childhood, just took my sky high appreciation of him to astronomical levels
Doesn’t take much does it
Johnathan Van Ness just quoted Dantes Peak, aaaand THIS is why I love him!😂
Stephen has introduced me to so many incredible people I wouldn’t have seen otherwise. Love to both Xx
I never gave much thought to the Queer Eye series, figuring the whole of it was probably irrelevant to my interests...until now. Yep, Colbert's time at the Late Show has enriched my life also. All that to say "+1".
@@originaldylanbaxter okay, so on paper queer eye is about making over people. in reality, though, i dare you to watch an episode, (really, any episode) without crying. these men change lives. the people that they help are down, desperately need change, need a push to turn their lives around. they helped a gay guy come out to the only family he had left; two sisters with their business, which was their only source of income; a "tomboy" woman see herself for the BEAUTIFUL woman that she is and to not feel "less feminine" than her friends; a gay girl that had been thrown out of her house when she was 15yo and left to fend for herself; teacher and a coach that have spent the last 30 years of their lives dedicated to their students and taking little to no time for themselves and their families; a father who was contemplating suicide at one point, because he was severely struggling with depression; a guy who got shot in the spine several years prior and had since then turned his life around by trying to help other at risk youth to not go down the same road he had and so so so so many more. like, that show will simultaneously make you feel better about the world and make you cry and make you appreciate all you have, or make you sad about all you don't have, but wish you did and make you want to reach through the screen and just hug people. i really feel like just hugging people after i watch it. so yeah, it's not just a show about making people over.
@@alexxhristova YES YES YES!!! Those are the uplifting stories missing from my life! Though I've no cable service at my location and refuse to pay for satellite instead, I shall seek that programming and no doubt reap substantial personal enrichment. Thank you Alex for expounding on the Queer Eye series' profound benefits! Again, all that to say "+1" :)
Especially as I live in the bubble that is Australia, there is so much new culture to keep up with but Stephen’s show manages to filter the best one’s through
@@originaldylanbaxter i don't know if this app is available for apple, but for Android, in the play store, look up "series lover": it's on it with links for streaming with very minimal to no pop up ads {:
every time I see JVN I almost wanna cry because he's filled with so much light and I wanna be friends with him so badly haha
JVN is not only an advocate for various causes, but he is also fully aware of the background information and data, which lends so much more weight to what he is saying!
Of course, the elegance, sass, and humour with which he delivers his messages further endear him to people (at least those who are willing to listen)...
You can tell he does his research on those topics because he genuinely cares!
klwl he is an amazing advocate.
Can we just appreciate how intelligent this guys is.I mean, apart from changing lives he is well aware of the fact that what's happening around.
Yeah Hello, TH-cam? We’re gonna need that love button like, ASAP.
Stephen Colbert being a great host and giving JVN the proper air time. Love them both 🙂
The balance comments spoke straight to my soul.
I love JVN to bits and oh my god, Jon Batiste, you'll always have my heart as well. That Final Fantasy prelude just...you are so blessed. I love you.
Wow.....i thought i had it rough...i admire how he seem to be more than managing his issues. 'Blooming where you're planted' is a great quote

Who knew heroes the tv show was right, save the cheerleader, save the world.
In allowing himself to be himself and relinquish any self-hate... he radiates kindness and empathy and light. It's aspirational.
I love this guy, he's such an inpiration for me...for entire world.
He should go on Hannity with Mike Pence and him on at the same time. Shouldn’t be too uncomfortable for them!
The people who need to take the hardest look at themselves are those who feel uncomfortable when other people are living their true selves.
Honestly... they’d be attracted to him. Guaranteed.
Can you imagine Pence when he recovers from conversion therapy one day? I feel bad for him.
SuperEdge67 @jvn could carry it easily!
SuperEdge67 that’d be amazing for ratings.
I come back to this interview periodically. Always makes me feel good 😌
He is everything a human could hope to be.
blah
justice hoffman - Bull's Eye, baby. Your comment says the most with the fewest words possible.
Really? If your daughter would be using a public restroom 🚽. Would you be ok with him going in there to use the restroom while your daughter inside?
Wow! That entrance jig was the Final Fantasy Fanfare theme! 😍🤩
I love that this is a 15+ minute plus interview and not one of those 4 minute interview.
This is the healthiest his beard has ever looked
That outfit. He can pull it off. And I sympathise because I've been in this studio and it's really freezing in there!
God bless, JVN. What a wonderful, positive force.
I'm so happy he is inspiring everyone and getting all this screen time.
People like Jonathan Van Ness give me hope 🖤
He's not only seems so genuinely kind and wonderful but he's so smart and on it! Love JVN

Pure as a Kitten, Fierce as a Tiger!
That Final Fantasy VII Prelude is awesome. Keep the good work.
Hi Sir Colbert, thank you for having Jonathan on your show. I didn’t care much for him but after this interview - I now adore 🥰 him! I want to give him a huge hug 🤗 xoxo Please come to San Diego Jonathan!
I can't imagine a down day with this guy.
"You only broke into song once, only half the flower buds you walked past bloomed, and that flashmob dance number was lackluster at best... are you ok?"
Omg, it was either the last season or season before the last where he had an episode where you could tell he was off. He just wasn't the happy, chipper queen that he is anf it was so noticeable and disheartening just knowing you could physically see in his face and eyes something was going on. My kids and I noticed and talked about it the whole episode.
So much love for two of my favorite people. Stephen - I applaud your listening power. JVN- you not only stood up under presh, but you shone your light on SO many of us. Don’t doubt any of your instincts. You are family. You are powerful!
JVN is so amazing and lovely
He is such a beautiful beautiful human.
ivorbukovac you are just an idiot.
Johnathan Van Ness for president! 🇺🇸❤️🏳️🌈
@Reya That would be fierce.
You have low standards.
I freaking LIVE for HER.... hahahahaha I laughed and wept on this interview at the same time. You go Jonathan, you keep up the good work!!
god i love JVN so much!!!
What an incredible, adorable person. I'd love to see more of them!
Where have I been that I haven't encountered this precious person before? He's so sweet and wonderful.
He is the most truest personalty I have ever seen . Respect
