  • The Queer Advantage: Turning Struggle into Strength with Andrew Gelwicks

    The Queer Advantage: Turning Struggle into Strength with Andrew Gelwicks
    Jan 26 2026

    What if the experiences that made growing up queer difficult are also the source of our greatest strengths?

    In this episode of Living Queer, Erwin de Leon welcomes Andrew Gelwicks—celebrity fashion stylist, writer, and author of The Queer Advantage—for a thoughtful conversation on identity, resilience, and growth.

    Andrew reflects on growing up in Ohio, finding his way to New York’s fashion world, and realizing that the skills he developed to survive as a queer kid now help him thrive professionally. The conversation also examines queer community, allyship, self-care, and how to hold both fear and hope in today’s political climate.

    This episode offers an affirming, grounded conversation about identity as a source of insight, connection, and strength.
