The section makes use of inconsistent past-present context when quoting the G Philly interview ("he says" should be "he said" because the interview is being referred to/should be referred to in the past tense.) Also the content of the information of this new portion of the article seems to have ulterior motives (ie, the section doesn't read like an encyclopedia, but rather like a blog excerpt or personal comment.) If the information is relevant and needed for the article on Leslie Jordan, it should be re-worded/re-presented in order to 'flow' with the tone of the rest of the article (and the rest of Wikipedia in general.)

It says that he was "sexually ambiguous" on Will and Grace. From the highlight clips I just watched he was a very poorly disguised closeted gay man. At one point the main gay characters run into him in a gay bar with his boyfriend and Will is amazed Jordan still refers to the lover as his "business partner". In another he flirtatiously flicks his fingers on the shoulder of the gay friend of Will and says "I'm looking for a new business partner". Wickorama ( talk) 08:54, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
So now Leslie's death is being exploited by anti-vaxxers, but they don't mention Leslie testing positive for Covid (assuming TMZ is correct). But residual damage from a Covid infection could have easily been a factor in his death. TMZ Oct 25 piece says "... Leslie was generally healthy ... but did have COVID last year." I realize TMZ has only a yellow rating at Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources, but having difficulty finding a more reliable source. Can we find a more reliable source? Hoping Wikipedia will play a part on helping to correct people (those willing to read wikipedia's Leslie Jordan article, plus readers ready to copy-paste article AT anti-vaxxers).

Road named for him needs to be added to the article---not sure how much of Tremont street but end point is Frazier Ave. https://www.local3news.com/local-news/city-of-chattanooga-renames-portion-of-tremont-st-in-honor-of-leslie-jordan/article_04f0c364-6926-11ed-924f-1bd060cbe4bf.html#:~:text=City%20of%20Chattanooga%20honors%20Leslie%20Jordan&text=The%20area%20of%20Tremont%20Street,Sailors%20Memorial%20Auditorium%20Sunday%20night. 71.49.198.193 ( talk) 02:09, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
