      @@slicksweet1 accountability is a difficult pill to swallow for most women. Instead we automatically resort to the concept of "victim blaming/shaming" to avoid or tip toe around the obvious; or resort to extreme possibilities centered around how horrible men and the church are.
      The facts still remain, behind every Billy Porter, every pookie and ray ray and every little Naz X the root is dysfunction centered around a dysfunctional home often with out a positive male figure.
      In addition we should treat and lock up predators, end the cycle.
      We also should deal with the "hush up" culture. To many kids are told to not say a word while predators walk freely unchecked.

The step father just said I didn't do anything to that boy he didn't want how disgusting a child a small child we can forgive people but we don't condone or ignore what happened people have to be held accountable for such acts especially against children no excuse he should've been removed from that home and sent to prison for his crimes which were horrible.

I could instantly tell he was a warrior and a hero on a quest to free his people. I am glad doing POSE has helped him to free himself, at the same time. Pray Tell's life really was almost exactly paralell to his own. My God, what a spirit in his soul! What a beautiful man.

    I can't believe how STRONG Billy Porter is. I was never molested but went through high school being known as the school queer. All kinds of verbal and occasional physical abuse. I hid my gayness from everyone, although most people knew, until I was 40. After a severe depression, part of my therapy was getting rid of that baggage I was carrying all alone. I came out, my family was very accepting, which was my worry for all those years. I was finally living my truth, as Billy states about himself. Stopped hating myself for being different. It was freeing. Hearing Billy's story brings back my own. Living out truths is a must. It's who we are. Trying to live a lie helps no one. Thank God for Billy Porter telling his truth. If he helps even one gay person live their truth, he can be proud. It's what Pride is all about. Truly is an inspiration. Thank you Billy.
