FX’S POSE TURNS ’80S GAY AND TRANS CULTURE TO A HEARTFELT CELEBRATN OF FOUND FAI

” Jt as shows like “Ellen” and “Will & Grace” troduced many Amerins to gay characters, “Pose” will troduce them to trans characters. It’s 2018, so there’s nothg surprisg about the fact that there are gay and trans people the world — although that was nsirably ls unrstood 1987, when the eight-episo narrative is shockg is seeg 17-year-old Damon (Ryan Jamaal Swa) attacked and beaten by his father, rejected by his mother, thrown out of his home and forced to try to survive on the streets of New York Cy, all bee he’s gay.

One of the most meangful character velopments we get to wns is that of Kurt Hummel (Chris Colfer)—an openly gay stunt who nonts his naysayers, fds love, and blossoms to the star he was meant to ntent is imported om youTube. There was the openg sex scene, a rare -- and one of the first sce the important groundbreakg work of Noah's Arc 2005 -- sightg of two gay, Black men actually havg sex on televisn as opposed to havg ferred like Hollywood lik to do so often. In , Pray Tell and Ricky Wtour succumb to their passns which seem to have only recently begun to even bubble to the surface followg Ricky beg diagnosed wh gay, dark-skned, Black, HIV-posive, sexually versatile men, an tergeneratnal uplg at that!

And so that really was the impet to say, "Yeah, I want to see the two gay Black men make love. " And you know, jt the revolutnary act of havg two gay, Black actors playg gay Black men who also happen to be HIV-posive, a lovg relatnship. To me that jt felt so that, the relatnship between Pray Tell and Ricky and what we wanted to do is nstct the myths around tergeneratnal gay relatnships.
