We already know Billy Porter can venetian eroticism vs high renaissance worksmake an entrance, but did you know he can give a pretty spectacular speech, too?
At the 2019 Emmys on Sunday, the Posestar picked up the award for lead actor in a drama series — becoming the first openly gay black man to do so.
"The category is love, y'all, love," said Porter, collecting the award. "I am so overwhelmed and I am so overjoyed to have lived long enough to see this day."
The award-winning actor then reflected on the words of great American novelist, essayist, orator, and civil rights activist James Baldwin in one of the most powerful moments of the ceremony.
"James Baldwin said, 'Took many years of vomiting up all the filth that I had been taught about myself and halfway believed, before I could walk around this earth like I had the right to be here.'
"I have the right. You have the right. We all have the right."
