@todayshow In this preview clip of @Katie Couric’s reunion with the parents of Matthew Shepard on the 25th anniversary of his death, Shepard’s parents respond to what one of his perpetrators, Russell Henderson, is now saying about the attack as he serves out a life sentence. Shepard was the victim of a brutal anti-gay attack in 1999 that made national headlines in Laramie, Wyoming. #TodayShow♬ original sound – TODAY Show

It’s Our Atlanta visited “the Stonewall of the South.”
@itsouratlanta In 1969 in a small theater in Midtown Atlanta, about 70 people were 15 minutes into a controversial indie film when over 10 police officers raided the cinema, detaining guests and staff alike. The goal of the raid was to weed out known members of the LGBTQ community. This raid, sometimes referred to as the Stonewall of the South, was a catalyst for the Gay Liberation Front in Atlanta and the first Pride March in 1971. #atlanta#pride#atlantapride#lgbtq♬ original sound – It’s Our Atlanta

We can't rely on mainstream media to tell our stories. That's why we don't lock Queerty articles behind a paywall. Will you support our mission with a contribution today?
LOL. Shaver, you are the bitter-queen stereotype joke that keeps on giving. Billy Porter is being himself and having a fabulous life as a super-talented queer role model.
I don’t have to like a performer just because he’s gay. I find him grating in his personal interviews as well as the characters he plays. I don’t think he’s a good actor, seems to be one note.
ShaverC: “I don’t think he’s a good actor, seems to be one note.” – Ugh, the only “one note” are your comments on just about any subject on this website. You do realize there are so many other sites to browse out there, like some QAnon website that will have just what you are looking for.
Not sure most of you boys actually watched the video. You really should actually understand what it is before offering your sloppy opinions. Billy made a joke about pronouns.
Billy is a diva. Like so many in show business. Sometimes he is a bit much. Sometimes he is that bitch. But he is very talented and this was catty funny.
shaves wins the award (even tho he wont want it ) for the single most miserable sad and pathetic troll ever. NOT one time has he ever liked anything so we know from that he isn’t gay as his life is the perfect example of a white straight man. whenever did or achieved anything but will bitch about people who do just so he can get. through yet another. loser day. The entire society is engineered to allow white strAIGHT MEN TO SUCCEED sir if they dont it isn’t on anyone BUT them. But feeling so entitled they will blame any and all others for their failed lives
barryaksarben, I am definitely not straight, I do have friends who are straight men and they do not complain about the LGBTQQ+++ if something doesn’t go their way. They have accountability and take responsibility for their own lives. It’s people like Billy Porter who blame others for things that did not work out. Not a big star… maybe it’s not homophobia, maybe it’s your acting. Not likeable? Maybe it’s not homophobia, but you come across as arrogant and abrasive.
MISTERJETT, I thought I was clear. People like Billy Porter take very little, if any, accountability. He thinks he’s the ultimate actor/singer but because of homophobia, people didn’t let him succeed. No, if you’re not good for a part because you’re too flamboyant, then that’s not homophobia holding you back it’s because you’re not right for that part, and you’re not a good enough mimic to portray a masculine person. He got lucky with Kinky Boots, and many actors do get lucky with a role that defines them, but he still seems bitter that he’s not offered more, and he obviously thinks he deserves more, but he’s not showing that he does deserve it.
On a different, happier note, that interview with Chad and Eze was heartwarming. Young, in love with each other, and able to articulate what they like most about each other, which isn’t something physical but based in their personalities. So refreshing. I wish them the best.
Does Matthew Shepard’s mother truly believe her son’s murderer is just as much of a victim as he is? I’m sure it’s a coping mechanism, but parents of murder victims wanting to see the good in their child’s killer is unsettling, especially when they go so far as to vouch for them.
Also, having a terrible childhood or rough upbringing isn’t an excuse for being a murderer.
I just discovered and went down a ricotaquito wormhole yesterday on IG. Thankfully I tied a rope to my ankle so that I could eventually dredge myself out of it.
We should definitely keep talking about gender and pronouns non-stop – it’s triggers the MAGAS but I think it’s more important than anything else. Gender, trans and pronouns!
I’m not a Maga, Trump can die tomorrow for all I care. And so can all the garbage about pronouns gender and Trans. You people blew it with all your woman trolling psycho hating antics that smeared our flag beyond recognition.
Now go find your little bench in the park and discuss away. Just leave rational people like LGBs out of it.
Oh, god no. You think pronouns only trigger MAGAs? Pronouns are self-indulgent nonsense that show what is really wrong with the fringe left. The pronoun Nazis are just like the MAGAs…we can’t stand either of you.
What triggers me and most of the country are sexual predators called trans trolls in women’s wigs that chase women and violate them. It triggers most of the country.
I come here when I’m bored, db lives here. And, seriously, if these videos of “trans” women confronting tiny little women in bathrooms doesn’t bother you, there is something wrong with you. Oh, wait, there is.
I’m obsessed with getting you and yours canceled. We’re headed for “don’t say gay” which is aimed soley at trans, in every state.
As a str8 man db, why are you living on this gay site? You afraid of straight men? Most likely. You’re mentally ill, trying to destroy society. Your comments are ten to one. We don’t like you here. Get a clue.

Billy Porter jumps on any bandwagon for attention.
dbmcvey
Which he totally deserves! He’s an Emmy, Grammy and Tony winning performer, director, producer, writer and singer who has been out his entire career!
dbmcvey
And really? “That bitch” is the bandwagon?
ShaverC
*Yawn* These “awards” celebrities give each other are really meaningless. They just pick whoever is the “it” person of the season.
ScottOnEarth
LOL. Shaver, you are the bitter-queen stereotype joke that keeps on giving. Billy Porter is being himself and having a fabulous life as a super-talented queer role model.
SUPREME
we really do hate each other, don’t we? wonder why!
ShaverC
I don’t have to like a performer just because he’s gay. I find him grating in his personal interviews as well as the characters he plays. I don’t think he’s a good actor, seems to be one note.
dbmcvey
Shave, I realize that the biggest awards you’ve won are “dumbest comment of the year” but really, the bitterness is just sad.
dbmcvey
Shaves, why don’t you just avoid clicking on stories about him. Really, as long as people click on the stories they’ll keep posting them.
carllonghorn
ShaverC: “I don’t think he’s a good actor, seems to be one note.” – Ugh, the only “one note” are your comments on just about any subject on this website. You do realize there are so many other sites to browse out there, like some QAnon website that will have just what you are looking for.

Isn’t his 15 minutes of fame up yet? Tired of this whiney queen. He’s way overrated

ShaverC complains under any article for attention.

I call it an opinion, but since it’s not your opinion, it’s a complaint.

Nah Shaves, it’s attention seeking.

Keep posting Shaves, the more you post the more Billy Porter articles we’ll see!
bachy
The way some of you guys overreact makes this site a troll’s paradise.
dbmcvey
Says bachy.
Bosch
Incorrect, ShaverC. Your opinions about Candace Owens are not complaints, but I disagree with those.
Logic is hard though, I know.
ShaverC
Bosch, Yes, apparently it is.
Gabby
Madonnas AIDS tribute is very moving live. She sounds great.
Kangol2
She does. I’m so glad she’s been able to get her tour underway!
dbmcvey
She does! She’s been there for us for a long time.
Kangol2
On a different, happier note, that interview with Chad and Eze was heartwarming. Young, in love with each other, and able to articulate what they like most about each other, which isn’t something physical but based in their personalities. So refreshing. I wish them the best.

Pronouns don’t only trigger MAGAs. They also trigger sad snowflakes.

Any mention of transgender triggers Diplo.

And there is absolutely nothing you don’t share your 2 cents on. Sadly.

As though you have any space to talk, Lumps.

Diplo is really obsessed with trans people. It’s creepy.

Apparently, Diplo saw “Silence of the Lambs” and thought it was a documentary.

I’ve always liked Billy short the dresses. Kudos for him for not falling for the they them psychosis. Learning disorders don’t look good on our flag.
LumpyPillows
Hey, you actually watched the video too!
Some of Billy’s outfits are a strike out. Some are home runs. It is what happens when you always swing for the fences, like Billy does.
dbmcvey
We all watched the videos. Billy would not support your efforts to eject trans people from the movement.
Baron Wiseman
Billy “Please Look At Me” Porter….
um, no.

Oxymoron troll coming in late and hot.
