Mar 19, 2020

Award-winning producer and writer Richie Jackson and Netflix’s Queer Eye star Antoni Porowski discuss Jackson’s new book, Gay Like Me: A Father Writes to His Son, with an introduction by Jordan Roth. Jackson reflects on his life as a gay man and compares it to the world his 18-year-old gay son is growing up in now. Being gay is a gift, Jackson says, but with its gains in jeopardy, the gay community must not be complacent. The conversation was recorded on January 29, 2020 in front of a live audience at New York’s 92nd Street Y.
