Mixing goodwill, good grooming

Thanks to Robert Lloyd for his praise of “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy” (“Thanksgiving? Why, It’s Simply Fabulous,” Nov. 23]. All the members of our family love the Fab Five for their charm and humor, but most of all for their innate goodwill.

We’re all tempted to see those different from us as “the enemy” (blues vs. reds, blacks vs. whites, gays vs. straights), and TV often reinforces that simple-minded approach. Any show that mixes in a message of tolerance with the good grooming tips is refreshing and welcome.
