Yesss of course uplift the gay black men and I’m sure u demonetized the straight ones…agenda for white people of working perfectly and y’all black women helping them……tf is he teaching ? Being gay ? That’s not an African culture moron..
#YouKnowimRight they asked questions about her genitalia and surgery and basically humanity questioning questions instead of questions about what she was there for.
I'm really digging his whole vibe. He's wise and you can tell he's been through some thangs. Most importantly, he clearly has zero f**ks to give anymore. Haters need not apply
This is what it's all about. 2 straight dudes 1 straight woman conversing with a gay man. Talk to people. Ask questions. We are all family. Like Billy said, let's fight this fight together.
@@DarkLight6Tv gays are the ones wanting to "teach" kids about being gay......straight society ironically promotes abstinence or dont bring sex up at all
Mr. Porter is the TRUTH!!!! We as black people don't have time to be hating on each other, stop it!!! Racism doesn't care about any black or brown bodies regardless of sexuality. Do not get it twisted. He was right that we have to stop hating on each other's differences and fight the power that is oppressing us as a collective. Amen.
I'm only at 1:48 and listening to him made me remember this: Many years ago I worked as a phone sex operator; and one day I got a call from a man that was "trans" (gender/sexual, I don't recall). But this man called the 1-800 phone sex line just so he could have someone to talk to. He obviously had no friends and no family. He was alone in this world, with no one to talk to about his fears, joys, dreams, goals, burdens, etc., except a 22 years old stranger working hundreds of miles away from where he lived. Whenever I see a gay man these days, I thank the Universe that male can live in his truth. That he doesn't have to hide in his NYC apartment and chat with a stranger in Los Angeles (because that's the only person he can talk to while speaking at 1.99 per minute). he likely has his own friends and a supportive family. I can't talk shit about a man for celebrating his existence and embracing himself. I sometimes wonder what ever happened to that man in NYC. Did he finally begin living his truth? Did he ever find friends? Did his family ever come to accept him? Or did he die alone with no one to say good-bye to. I cannot make a guy feel bad because of who he is at his core. And I'd hate to make a person feel horrible about themselves simply because I couldn't accept them as they are. Change begins with you.
Didn't know the guy before this interview, however, I like how he unapologetically stands in his Truth, can't do anything else but respect, he actually kept my attention, watched the whole interview.
Such a well spoken and intelligent man who I really didn't before POSE. Seen him on the red carpet in a dress and video clips from Kinky Boots now I am one of his biggest fans. And the Pose series is AMAZING.
Billy Porter please, please, please, continue living your truest life. I love who you are and love the respect you pay to your mother by showing up for your life.
I have a friend that I asked about him coming out and he stated that it is hard. He has a loving mother that accepted him as he is. Kudos to Billy Porter for just being. I love it.
I will listen to this again, enjoyed it. Man you better speak, preach, teach! 😄Love Billy Porter's confidence, passion, positive attitude, and his enthusiasm; 😊 now that's the bomb. "You show up for your life everyday". "Your truth comes from the inside, that's all that we have". I needed to hear that today. Interesting listening to him, engaging. There are no mistakes. "Sometimes you are the best qualified for the job; and you still lose". He said a LOT, that makes a mountain of sense. Thank you so much, very nice interview.❣️
@@pearltoles You going to get me emotion looking up The Get Down... I loved that show. Do you remember this scene ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cy5ESARkyeE.html
I know this is hard to believe. 1. You can be gay AND black. 2. Hating gay ppl is just as prejudiced as being hated for being black. 3. Many black ppl you don't accept are fighting for you whether you like it or not. The End.
#2 is a NOT...folks need to stop comparing the gay struggle to the black struggle. Gay folks (mostly white) get talk about for their sexual preference ( that you choose to come out about). Black folks built a country for FREE and were KILLED for wanting to become equal and guess what this country still doesn't treat us equal (my black skin doesn't have the option to come out of the closet).
@@jclef614Mostly gay people are white? Clearly you don't know the meaning of preference because if you did you'd know being Gay is not one. So yes, being prejudice towards Gays is just bad as being prejudice towards black ppl. You know why? Because you can't choose either. Did you choose to be straight or you just were naturally attracted to the opposite sex?? See how that works. Same for Gay ppl.
V4Vonnie WHAT!? The only thing hard to believe is that someone would write such nonsense and other clowns would co-sign it 🤦🏾♂️ 1. No one ever said that you can’t be gay and black at the same time, the problem is that way too many black gays put their sexual preference before their race when no other members of the LGBTQ do that and certainly NOT to align with black gays unless it benefits them. No other race of gays talks that intersectional bullshit other than blacks out of desperation to be accepted by others who have zero interests in intersecting with you. 2. Don’t ever compare the plight, vitriol and hate that black people have endured over the past 500 years simply for being black to who some dude wants to stick his dick in or some stud wants to eat out her pussy. Most of the laws and acts of hate targeted towards blacks people have been perpetrated by whites straight and gay. At no time in history has there EVER been acts of oppression towards gays anywhere near the scale of the transatlantic slave trade, Jim Crow, Red lining, mass-incarceration committed against people specifically because of who they have sex with and for anyone to say anything otherwise is disingenuous and disrespectful. 3. “Many black people you don’t accept are fight for you”... who’s YOU?? As I said, too many black gays place their sexual preference over their race.. FACT! When you do this you can’t possibly be placing the same sense of urgency on justice and liberation for black people as you do for acceptance from “others” in the LQBTQ community, when the very people you are looking to intersect with are some of the biggest perpetrators of injustice towards black people and have been for centuries. By definition that’s impossible.
The Pink Print I’m glad they have people like billy on this show because I thought this show was all about rappers and reality show thots acting stupid and talking about trash but having billy on the show really shows their opening up and talking to different types of people with different things to say
