Billy Porter CALLS OUT double standard in election

#BillyPorter calls out the double standard in the presidential #election on The Weekend, stating that if a convicted felon was Black, a woman, or LGBTQ+, “we would not be having this conversation.” Porter also discusses Broadway for #Harris, a grassroots coalition activating the theater community and its fans for volunteer activities to support the Harris-Walz campaign.

100%. It's bonkers hearing quotes like "Undecided voters feel they need to get to know her policies better." And I'm like...what coherent policy are they getting from the other guy???

They kicked me off ‘THE GRAM’ for being THAT GUY. Glad a celebrity gets to say the truth A BLACK CELEBRITY.

Thank you Billy it's not rocket science. Why are we acting like policy is even a part of the conservation at this point, and Harris still has to prove herself? GTFOH.
