You might know him as the fashion maven on the Netflix phenomenon, Queer Eye, but Tan France wants you to know a lot more than that. In his new book, “Naturally Tan,” France opens up about his life before the hit show, including what it was like to grow up gay in a traditional Muslim Pakistani family, how he continues to deal with racial profiling and how he met and married his “Mormon cowboy” husband. Tan France joins Forum in studio to talk about his memoir.
