During an interview by G Philly, Leslie Jordan discussed how his life was impacted having to grow up as a gay man in Chattanooga, Tennessee. When the reporter asks if Leslie had a hard time growing up in a southern church he replies, "I did, but it was more internal. I really wanted to be a really good Christian, like some of the boys in the movie. I was baptized 14 times." Whenever the preacher would ask if anyone had sinned, Leslie would always think of a little thing and come forward even when his mother thought he was over reacting about the situation.
