Billy Porter Breaks a 14-Year Silence: “This Is What HIV-Positive Looks Like Now”

Without question, my favorite show this season is Pose! I love it and I love Billy Porter's character. This week's episode had me in tears and calling friends to chat about it. The religious roots and the singing move me. This article is well-written:

This quote stayed with me:

"I hope this frees me so that I can experience real, unadulterated joy, so that I can experience peace, so that I can experience intimacy, so that I can have sex without shame. This is for me. I’m doing this for me. I have too much shit to do, and I don’t have any fear about it anymore."

At one time or another, I think we've all been there. It's our common denominator, and one we're frequently prone to forget.
