LOS ANGELES - Gay performers shined at the Emmy Awards on Sunday with wins in several categories including best actor in a drama series, which went to “Pose” star Billy Porter as the first openly gay black man to take home the honor.
“The category is love, y’all, love!” Porter told the audience, before quoting the late author James Baldwin and thanking his husband. “I was told that who and what I am would never be successful, period,” Porter said. “That’s what I was told. I did not believe them.” The five black and Latino men, who were known as the “Central Park Five” and spent years in prison before their convictions were overturned, celebrated in the audience as Jerome dedicated the award to the “exonerated five.”
