Nine hours ahead of President Donald Trump's official State of the Union address, “Pose” star Billy Porter shared a message with the nation.
“Last year, I told you that the state of our union was strong,” Porter said in his second"LGBTQ State of the Union" address. “And while it’s certainly been battered, our union is far from broken.” This is the second year the actor and activist has delivered such an address, which was streamed live on the Youtube, Facebook and Twitter pages of ViacomCBS-owned LGBTQ brand Logo. During his 8-minute speech, Porter stood before a glass podium, staring directly into the camera and sandwiched between the gay pride flag and the U.S. flag.“So far, our nation has survived the first term of Donald Trump,” he said.
