REVIEW:Bring on the tears!
Van Ness concedes: Yeah, I did that the first day.
Little did the Fab 5 know, something special was in storein that initial episode and well beyond.
Robert Trachtenberg for EW
We spoke to something that was important and current.
I didnt want that responsibility on my head.
The fears eventually subsided, and, he says, I couldnt be more grateful.
Robert Trachtenberg for EW
Reality television has an undertone of negativity.
I think thats when I realized it was going to be big.
POROWSKI:I was definitely very naive to how much it would affect my personal life.
Robert Trachtenberg for EW
Its just so much bigger than all of us.
And he turned out to be the sweetest, jolliest, most loving guy.
POROWSKI:It just goes to show that both sides have something to learn.
Robert Trachtenberg for EW
We redid his photo.
All of a sudden we are on a bench and Im like, Call your ex-wife!
[to invite her to the car show].
Robert Trachtenberg for EW
Weve never [publicly] talked about that.
In some cases, its all fans talk about, especially to the Fab 5.
And people felt his pain and his release and his growth.

FRANCE:The thing that people quote to me more than anything is, I let myself go.
Its in the closet when Im talking to Bobby Camp.
Im saying, Make an effort to be a part of [your relationship].

BROWN:People are constantly talking about the cop episode.
We were all surprised.
I was scared to death.
Robert Trachtenberg for EW
I never get emotional about this episode…. FRANCE:Production staff did come over to our car.
POROWSKI:The officer told them to back away.
VAN NESS:He was really committed.
BERK:I was supposed to drive.
[Brown insisted that he take the wheel instead.]
I knew it was gonna happen.
It was never supposed to be that serious of a situation.
It was supposed to be comedic.
BROWN:But it turned into something great, because we allowed ourselves to be open.
VAN NESS:One of my closest friends is a trans man who is incredible.
And a lot of my clients are trans women.
So I am really hoping that we can do right by our trans brothers and sisters.
FRANCE:Skyler, for me, was my favorite episode weve ever done.
I love the others, I truly do.
But I wasnt as informed for Skyler.
I lived a very, very Middle Eastern life until I was in my early 20s.
It was very sheltered.
Im really proud of that episode.
Its just about people living a comfortable, protected, respected life.
CAN WE GET AN AMEN UP IN HERE?
Fair warning: The episode delivers an emotional gut-punch.
BERK:That episode was very, very hard for me, honestly.
When I came out, religion completely turned on me.
And Ive never really gotten over that.
Then I met Tammye, and she was just so loving and accepting and open.
POROWSKI:She gave each of us a journal, and she wrote us a beautiful little note.
Hes also committed to his new wardrobe of stylish, fitted clothes.
He also still lives in his parents basement!
