Why do someone’s hair or change their outfit when you can literally gut a house and rebuild it from the ground up? Bobby Berk is the interior design expert on Netflix’s original reality series, Queer Eye. There, he helps transform the living spaces of local heroes to be more functional and a little more stylish.

Bobby Berk also helps inspire these local heroes, sharing his story as an adopted child who grew up in a religious household. The celebrity often discusses this during interviews, including one with Oprah Magazine.

“Growing up, I went to church every day and was told that gays were an abomination and bad,” Berk said. “The first group of LGBTQ people to embrace me, at 16, was the drag community. There was a little bar called Martha’s Vineyard and at one point I was doing drag. This was before cellphones. That’s where I found the most acceptance and love. I eventually moved around a lot, but I’m lucky to have found my chosen family—and a lot of allies.”
