Emmy, Grammy and Tony winner Billy Porter explains how queerness became his “superpower;” what he learned through a slow-burn approach to success; and his political views from equality to accountability for attacks on American democracy. Porter spoke at length with MSNBC’s Ari Melber for the newest installment of “Mavericks with Ari Melber,” a series of interviews with artists, musicians and cultural icons.

I've been a fan of Billy Porter for a long time. I loved the interview. Especially because you allowed him the space to speak his mind. Your questions were on point, and I know you made him feel comfortable answering them. I learned a lot about him, and I thank you for the interview.

I am so Masculent so Masculent. But this conversation, because I listened finally after 58 yrs of not opening my soul and letting this information absorb I couldn't hear this. Thank you Billy Porter ♥ and Ari stay just the way you report news. You are a gift to humanity sir.

@dewilew2137 Год назад

What does “masculent” mean? I’ve never heard or seen that word before.

@benniewoods711 Год назад

*Hooray* for brother Porter. His pride is emulating. Honestly. I'd never heard of him. Thank you brother Melber for the introduction. He's real to me unless I hear otherwise.

@carltalley2389 Год назад

@Curtis Taylor I don't get you. And I'll keep this brief. What are you referring? Are you putting down, or uplifting? I'm being civil. Are you?

Biden has started another War, this time with Russia and the World will hate the USA. The Biden Administration has placed the Curse of abortion and homosexuality on the American People and the World will no longer tolerate these acts of immorality.

MSNBC speaks the immorality of abortion and homosexuality as the US enters another war, this time with Russia, a War that will turn the World against the corruption that spews out from Washington and the Fake News Media. The US will not win this war. Debt of US$31 Trillion of which China is owed US$9 Trillion.

@tahiyamarome Год назад

It's fascinating to read the comments. People don't seem to be aware how much of their take is embroidery on a very short exposure to someone. We (not excepting myself) have so much bias we bring with us to everything we experience.
