Ross Mathews says queer people 'will never stop fighting'

The hilariousRoss Mathews is proud to represent the queer community.

After marrying his handsome husband Dr. Wellinthon García-Mathews in 2022, the two have grown so much personally and professionally as a couple.

Now, the hubbies have released their adorable new children's book Tío & Tío: The Ring Bearers that's centered around the couple's two nephews who served as the ring bearers at their wedding.

"We are so grateful and excited that our book is coming out! It's been a labor of love. The book is not political by nature, but by purely existing, of course it is," Mathews tells PRIDE.

Since his early days on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Mathews has helped LGBTQ+ representation on television become more mainstream with his regular appearances on The Drew Barrymore Show and RuPaul's Drag Race.

"I know there are people who have seen me on television who maybe don't know a lot of queer people in their life. The generation before us did a lot of work to make things easier for us. We've made a lot of progress. We've having some setbacks right now, but there's a lot of people that'll never stop fighting. There's more of us than there are of them."

Dr. García-Mathews not only serves as Mathews' better half, but he's also his biggest cheerleader and number one fan.

"What you guys are getting in TV land... he's doing that at home. He's literally himself every day. He's a pioneer. He's an advocate for our community. He's doing tremendous work out there. I'm so proud to be his husband," García-Mathews says.

Tío & Tío: The Ring Bearers is available wherever books are sold. To see the full interview with Ross Mathews & Dr. Wellinthon García-Mathews, check out the video at the top of the page.
