He is also a New York Times bestselling author with three books to his credit, including You’re Different, and That’s Super, a kids book promoting diversity.
 
In addition to his work as a performer, Kressley was the host of the 2008 True Colors tour, which was created to raise awareness and promote equality for the GLBT community. His philanthropic endeavors have also lead him to support groups such as The Trevor Project, The Human Rights Campaign, The Empire State Pride Agenda, LIGALY, GLSEN, AIDS WALK and the Al D.
