Tan France, the British-born fashion guru of the current cast of "Queer Eye," has officially become a United States citizen, reports "People" magazine. And France has plans to make full use of his newfound American status at the ballot box this election day.
France had someone on hand to share the life-changing experience, reports People:
Also present for the milestone was France's husband, Rob, and the two made sure to snap a shot in front of an American flag.
"And now," Tan's post added, "I will exercise my constitutional right as an American. Today, I will register to vote, and vote for the change I wish to see in OUR nation."
Other members of the current Fab Five chimed in to offer their congratulations, People reported.
"There is no word or phrase I have strong enough to say how happy, proud, strong you are I have no words strong enough. Love you so much," replied Jonathan Van Ness.
Bobby Berk added, "SO PROUD OF YOU TANNY!!! I love YOU," while Karamo Brown wrote, "Welcome! Love you!"
"I hope you realize you can no longer say things like 'you Americans always...' " chef Antoni Porowski joked.
The fifth season of "Queer Eye" launched just last week on Netflix. A sixth season has already been ordered.
