Why wouldn’t he be the same person? I’m so confused.

All the same Billy Porter, he just went through an evolution as an artist like many others do. I love him!

Unfortunately in 1997 when Billy released Show Me, many artists feared to live openly. Thank goodness times have changed and some people no longer fear living openly. I am happy that he and others are living their lives as they wish without fear. Billy is an amazing actor and performer. I love his confidence regardless of what he chooses to wear. He uses his platform to empower others to live openly without fear or intimidation. Sometimes the world can be so cruel but I always choose to lead with love and acceptance. The category is LOVE!

Lovely post made by Billy on Instagram today, reminded me of this post and how he’s had to hide his true self for many years.
