The 'Pose' star addressed the attack on trans woman Iyanna Dior by 20-30 cis men 'during the peaceful protests.'
Dior was attacked by a group of about 20-30 cisgender men. Video of the assault, which has since spread online, shows them beating Dior outside a convenience store and calling her homophobic slurs. Dior escaped and a video shared on her Facebook page stated she's okay after suffering swelling and bruising.colleague behind the camera, had also paid tribute to Dior in a message on Twitter earlier in the week. "Folks stood witness to this brutality on another black life," she wrote.
In response to this incident, Porter said, "My basic human rights have been up for legislation every single day that I have had breath in my body from all sides—and by that I mean that the black community's relationship with the LGBTQ+ community is appalling at best and eerily similar to that of white supremacists versus black folk. Hear me, black people, and hear me well. I'm calling you out right here and right now.
"To all my homophobic and transphobic brothers and sisters, get your f—ing houses in order," he added. Porter covered many other topics in the video, as well, from his own experiences facing racism and the anxiety of being attacked for the color of his skin to the need to vote in the coming presidential election.
"As Black people, we risk our lives every time we leave our homes. As queer people of color that risk is doubled," Porter said. "We move about our days sucking it up, hiding our pain and terror from the world, trying to make ourselves small, so white people and straight people feel comfortable.
