Leslie Jordan was an American actor, comedian, writer, and singer. He is best known for his roles as Lonnie Garr on Hearts Afire, Beverly Leslie on Will & Grace, for which he received a Primetime Emmy Award.
I don鈥檛 know if people on here have already heard but Leslie Jordan (often known on here for his sticker video which I will add in a reblog) has passed away.
He was a queer and gay elder who lived through the aids epidemic and continued to be a powerful and beautiful man, and short king. He will be missed across the entertainment industry and the queer community.
Leslie Jordan came to be a key speaker at our Pride celebration in my small town in 2019. It was my first pride event and he was such a funny, positive, and encouraging figure鈥攈elping bridge the gap between old and young queer folks.
I am devastated to hear the news of his passing and he will be missed.
