Ryan Murphy just made major news⌠again.
Murphyâs latest project Pose is set in 1980s New York and is centered around the cityâs iconic queer ballroom culture. The show will feature the most trans actors of any TV show in recent history, as well as a super diverse behind-the-camera crew.
But it doesnât stop there.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Yesterday, Murphy tweeted that he will be donating 100%âyes, 100%--of the proceeds from Pose to LGBTQ charities.
âI am donating 100 percent of my profits from my new FX show Pose towards trans and LGBTQ charitable organizations,â he tweeted. âThese groups do amazing work and need our support.â
âEvery day for the next 14 days I will highlight a group Iâm supporting, and encourage you to do the same!â

Given the enormous success of Murphyâs shows 9-1-1, American Horror Story, Scream Queens, American Crime Story and Feud, along with that $300 million deal he just signed with Netflix, weâd say he can definitely afford to donate the proceeds of his latest FX show.

inb4 someone complains that “balls were never that glamorous” etc.
Vince
Ha. Looks like he’s just giving the American Horror story actors something to do.
DarkZephyr
Yep, that’s “all” he’s doing. Donating 100% of the proceeds to LGBT charities isn’t really anything special. Massive trans visibility is not important.
Rich
He is an American national treasure. So talented and generous.
