Never once to mince words, actor/singer/activist/dynamo Billy Porter has partnered with Equality California to release a special ad encouraging the queer people of the United States to vote.
“The stakes in this election truly couldn’t be higher,” Rick Chavez Zbur, Equality California Executive Director said in a statement. “For the LGBTQ+ community and the diverse communities to which we belong, everything is on the line — civil rights, healthcare, gun safety reform, the environment and our democracy. We’re so grateful to Billy for lending his voice to this fight — our fight — to ensure all of our voices are heard at the ballot box.”

“The fight for LGTBQ+ equality is a fight for human equality,” Porter narrates in the ad. “It’s battling the bullies. It’s bravery over bigotry.”

You’ve just typed gibberish. Are you saying he’s not masculine enough for you, which suggests you’re effemophobic and misogynistic? Or are you implying something else? You don’t find him attractive, but that’s on you, not Billy Porter.

your self loathing is really sad. take that shit elsewhere.
voting is super important, no matter how we identify. it’s the most crucial election in history.

Sweetie, please tell the manager at the Siberian troll farm to get you some more classes in American grammar.

” We’re so grateful to Billy for lending his voice to this fight…”
Oh please, at this point it looks like she would sign her name to any cause for camera time. She’s got it bad, that’s why that hat had a remote control to move the tassels out of the way, she couldn’t stand not being seen for longer then a few seconds!

Except that Billy Porter doesn’t appear in this video. Did you even watch it? Clearly not.

If you’re going to switch screenmaes to post basically the same thing. Try changing up your sentance structure so it isn’t so obvious.

Though she is a queen she isn’t exactly what I would call gay Hollywood royalty but I do congratulate her publicity agent for pulling a stunt right out of one of Madonna’s 1990’s old handbooks on how t keep your name out there. I don’t hate her but its clear as far as acting she will never move beyond the role of an aging vociferous stereotypical black queen. If she (or should I say her agent) really is that adamant about voting then she will tweet a pic of her going into the polling place or something along that line but I don’t suggest holding your breath for that pic.

Nothing Republican trolls hate more than an out of the closet, proud LGBTQ person.
Oh wait, yes there is, an out of the closet, proud, BLACK LGBTQ person.

@Cam……..”Oh wait, yes there is, an out of the closet, proud, BLACK LGBTQ person.”
Really? Who is she? Does she have talent? Please don’t tell me there’s another one out there good for nothing else but being a stereotypical queen. Please tell me I’m wrong and then tell me who it is you are referring to.
