This MOMENT deserves an Emmy. Tony. Grammy. Stellar Award. NAACP Image Award. Dove Award. And should be immortalized in the Television Hall of Fame, for posterity's sake. The sheer history of every little gay boy, growing up and shunned from being themselves, but often asked to share their gifts, is classic. It happen for me, when I sang at my grandfather's funeral and my dad coming to me and my brother, piano player, also gay, and said 'I didn't know you boys had that in you', to which my seven years senior brother replied, 'There's a lot you don't know about us'. Bless you Billy for singing so many of our lives and putting it in prime time.

I am battling rectal cancer. I am optimistic, but I do need emotional support. Seeing this episode of POSE and hearing Billy Porter lifted me so much. I got up off the couch and raised my hands to the Lord with tears running from my eyes. I cannot begin to explain how your singing touched my heart and spirit. I cannot even tell my people how much the song lifted me without tearing up and my voice becoming shaky. THANK YOU!!! All Praises to the Lord! Thank you for sending the Holy Spirit through BILLY PORTER!

@@angelogreenwood9766 true christians would know god created us all in his image. we are all sinners and we are all also children of god. be kind to thy neighbor, and that includes your gay or trans neighbor, as they were created in his image just as the rest of us were. you cannot cherry pick which parts of the bible you do and do not believe in. eating lobster is a sin according to the bible. wearing mixed fabrics is a sin according to the bible, and nearly every shirt is a combination of cotton and polyester. the bible also said to stone your rebellious son, and we don’t do that now for obvious reasons. we are born sinners as christ died for our sins. but that does not mean we need to judge others or bring them down, that in itself is a sin. we should not base faith off what can happen when we die, but rather how we can pay kindness and love forward as we live. those who tell the lgbt community they are going to hell are going against god’s word by saying so. you are in that moment, telling god his creation is not good enough for you. you are besmirching the beauty of what god has created. and remember the golden rule, always- “therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you: do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.” (matthew 7:12.) i am sure you would not appreciate someone claiming to be from a religion of love and peace to all preaching damnation to you simply for living as god created you and intended you to live. stop using god’s word to go against god and push your own agenda. this is not what christianity is about, nor will it ever be. you are not a true christian and you yourself will be the one to never see the gates of heaven as long as you keep besmirching god’s creations. but a gay man or woman, a trans man or woman who lives kindly with their heart open, minds their business and does not harm others? they will see the gates sure as the sun rises, while you burn wondering where you went wrong. reflect.

Billy did such an amazing job with this song. He put his whole spirit in it.

Billy is a dynamic performer, no doubt. He seems to put a large portion of his soul into whatever he sings.

He is really a magic man, he speaks to my soul. And someday I will pay him to call me every morning to tell me to get out of bed and make something of myself. Every. Single. Day. (When he’s not so busy, of course)

How many times I've felt his touch when I was trying to lock myself away from everything and everybody. And I'm so happy for this song that got down in me and I felt something in my Spirit and I knew I wasn't alone. 💜

Utterly ethereal. It's like heaven opens up everything I hear him sing this. Back again, at least the 20th time. It's like being washed anew each and every time! Dear God, continue to bless the gift Billy Porter is to this world.
