Leslie Jordan is Beautiful!

I first saw the very effeminate and queer Leslie Jordan perform as "Brother Boy" in the cult-film classic SORDID LIVES (2000).

Fastforward to 2008, Jordan stars in the new SORDID LIVES TV series, and is putting the finishing touches on his (autobiographical) film, "Southern Baptist Sissies".

In the interim, he's done Will & Grace and Boston Legal and other network TV fare, but our favorite (at least until the new projects are released) is his turn as "Brother Boy" the institutionalized gay man in "Sordid Lives"
If you haven't seen SORDID LIVES, then BUY IT or add it to your Netflix account. Some brilly marketing person came up with "A black comedy about white trash! See an original trailer (with de rigeur French subtitles) here.

Maybe I have a special connection to the movie because of my "white trash" cultural heritage. I recognized many family members (myself included) in the wacky characters in the film.

ALERT: The Southern Baptists are upSET about upcoming Jordan's upcoming "Southern Bapstist Sissies" movie as evidenced by this lengthy article on their propaganda site. Please note the comments by the "former homosexual" in the piece.

Because he was/is not afraid to play the "sissie" (perhaps the most loathed/loved character in entertainment), we applaud and present What's Beautiful #013 -- Leslie Jordan.
