Leslie Jordan Is A National Treasure

In his videos, Leslie bounced so quickly from heartwarming to hilarious. It was hard not to fall in love with his kind and eccentric spirit. Especially beloved in the LGBTQ+ community, Jordan grew up in a time when femininity in men was even more admonished than it is today. Despite this, and living through the AIDS crisis, Leslie was always known for his positive attitude. “I think our dreams are what sustain us in hard times,” said Leslie. “Dreams are what keep us childlike. I love that they can grow and expand as we grow and expand.”

When we last saw Leslie on Instagram he sang a hymn with songwriter Danny Myrick. Leslie was a treasure and a gift to our community. His love and light will be deeply missed.
