Billy Porter says that any push for total unity is incomplete if transgender people are left out of the conversation. "We can do it together, but we can't do it until we embrace and love each other through our differences, because of our differences," the Pose star said on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
On Thursday's episode, guest hosted by Billy Eichner, Porter brought attention to the homophobic and transphobic parts of the Black community.
In June, the Emmy winner posted an Instagram video in which he called out the Black community for its "appalling" lack of support for its LGBTQ members, following the deaths of transgender women including Monika Diamond and Dominique Remy Fells, who were killed in March and June, respectively.
