Billy Porter on the importance of PoseFX: “The T in LGBTQ has largely been ignored.” Watch this episode of ActorsOnActors, and more, tomorrow night on PBSSoCal
have both brought outsider characters to the center of the Emmy conversation. On FX’s “Pose,” Porter plays Pray Tell, a gay
man with AIDS who acts as a mentor to a community of transgender women in New York City’s raucous drag ball scene. In the second season of Amazon’s “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” last year’s Emmy winner Rachel Brosnahan sees her character’s commitment to stand-up comedy deepen.: It’s so exciting to just be in your presence — this new generation of whatever it is that we’re doing. We both have shows where New York City is a character. Mine in the ’80s.
And I’m a part of the LGBTQ community. I’ve been surrounded by these ladies and these men and didn’t understand the magnitude. Here I am on set, and for the first time I’m going, the “T” in LGBTQ has largely been ignored. By me. Not because I wanted to ignore it. You know, we came out. We went to the front lines to fight for our lives, and then the pill came, everybody got healthy, and everybody moved on. These women and these men teach me what real authenticity is about.: It’s such a gift.
I always say it’s easy to be who you are when what you are is what’s popular. When I entered this business, it was not popular to be black, gay, out. I took every hit that came with that. People were telling me that my authenticity was my liability. You’re too much of a sissy. My masculinity was always in question. But the service is inside of my authenticity, choosing my authenticity over my fame.: What’s been significant is that I’ve been able to do it on my own terms.
