When he’s not starring in Pose, preparing for his upcoming role in the Cinderella remake, giving us major glamour on the red carpet and narrating a docuseries on the LGBTQ movement through the Stonewall uprising in 1960s… well, what isn’t Porter doing?

In a video shared on his social media accounts in June 2020, the gay actor spoke out in support of black gay and trans people joining the global Black Lives Matter protests.

‘LGBTQ+ Black folks are Black people, too!’ he said. ‘Our lives matter, too! So, this is my response to those of y’all who don’t understand that: F*ck you! And, yes, I am cussing. It’s time for cussing.’

Months earlier, ahead of President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address, the actor delivered his second LGBTQ+-focused speech.

‘Last year, I told you that the state of our union was strong,’ Porter noted. ‘And while it’s certainly been battered, our union is far from broken.’
