Featuring: Tim Gunn

I'm so glad Tim had someone like Dr. Goldblatt, someone who cared about him and encouraged him to live and grow. I can't imagine (and sometimes take for granted) the people who love me and accept me for who I am, doing anything but that, and pushing and suppressing me to the point where I wouldn't want to live. I'm glad Tim kept going and I'm glad he is alive.

Thank God for all of the Dr. Goldenblatt's of this world! Although I am a straight woman, my teenage years were very much like Tim's. feeling overexposed and totally repressed because of my upbringing. I wouldn't relive those years for all the money in the world. But it does get better, it really does!

What a wonderful series! I hope that anyone who feels he or she is the "odd kid out" will realize that gay people are a significant portion of any population at any time or place and there's nothing unusual about it. Being gay is just a natural variation on the spectrum of human identity and it's the haters who are weird, not gay folks.

I am glad i watched this. I had seen Tim on Project Runway...and i thought he was a bit of a gay caricature and stereotype. But after hearing his story...i feel very sorry for him. It must have been so hard growing up in that era. We lgbt youth are SOOO lucky to be alive in 2016. So much has changed for the better.

MaleOrderBride you are lucky and I appreciate you so much for voicing this... as today it feels like a lot of youth don’t appreciate or even care about what we older folks had to struggle through... and how traumatizing it was in childhood pre-internet. But in return I will say at least back then our “closet” remained relatively safe if we could get back to it to hide for a while... there was no cyber bullying to reach into your psyche and destroy you without your family even being aware you were in need of protection. The devastation and trauma inflicted on our youth today due to online bullying and betrayal, truly hurts my heart... I would not have survived it. You are all so strong and courageous for owning your identity so openly, so early. you may have more resources but due to technology, hatred and torment can also reach you in ways we could never imagine back then. 🌈 💞🦄

When i took the pills and woke up alive with my boyfriend, best friend, sisters and parents there I realized that this is not how my life is ending. All of them was there and was scared for my life. They couldn't see my heart beats. I was practically dead but I survived. A year later and 6 months in therapy (DBT) I feel so much better. I survived and you will too! Seek help, reach out, don't hurt yourself and you are not alone.

I adore him! Man, to have survived those pressures during that time is remarkable. I'm sure many men just suppressed it and started families with women, then they had kids to worry about, knowing they were living a lie, etc. Tim is very lucky to have had this mentor, and clearly very gracious.

We are going to watch them all over the next year or two. Also - went to NY (we are in San Diego) and got to take a stroll through Mood and meet Swatch! Thanks Mooooood! Thanks Tim!

Hey, I greatly admire and respect Tim Gunn! Fashion and style are my burning passion, and Tim is brilliant and classy to me, and I greatly admire his designs. Even more so do I admire Tim himself for being true to himself with class, style and dignity. He is about 2 years my senior. Believe him when he tells you things were very, very different back in The Day, for that is utterly true! Tim and many others of his generation (including me, a transwoman), prevailed. Life is beautiful! High on my Bucket List is to meet and, ultimately, have either a social lunch or dinner with Tim Gunn and, mayhaps, even become his friend. Tim, you rock! Thanks for being you! Peace & Joy
