Leslie Allen Jordan (1955-2022)

I don’t follow celebrity culture very much. We stream British mysteries and police procedurals, not rom coms or sit coms. But Lesle Allen Jordan reached through my computer screen and touched me (no, not that way!) with his Instagram videos. His humor could be gossipy, but he was also humble. He treasured his mother and believed in God. But he didn’t tell you how to mother or what God meant. He took being short and queer and made it. Even if you get sober you don’t have to lose your sense of humor. He was a funny kind of love. And I loved it.
