Billy Porter continued his meteoric success streak at the 71st Emmy Awards on Sunday night with a history-making win. 
Billy Porter Is First Openly Gay Black Man To Win Emmy For Lead Actor In A Drama
Billy won the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for his role as ballroom emcee Pray Tell on the FX series Pose. The win made him the first openly gay black man to receive the honour in the category. 
“It took many years of vomiting up all the filth that I had been taught about myself, and halfway believed, before I was could walk around this earth like I had the right to be here,” the actor told the crowd, quoting James Baldwin. “I have the right, you have the right ― we all have the right!” 
“We, as artists, are the people who that get to change the molecular structure of the hearts and minds of the people who live on this planet,” he added. “Please don’t ever stop doing that. Please don’t ever stop telling the truth.” 
The significance of Porter’s win did not go unnoticed by fans and LGBTQ advocates, who began tweeting their praise immediately after the announcement.  We do not deserve Billy Porter.— GLAAD (@glaad) September 23, 2019Tonight, Billy Porter (@theebillyporter) made history as the first openly gay Black man to win the #Emmy for lead actor in a drama series. https://t.co/MatzsFU0KU— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) September 23, 2019Billy Porter.

“My outness was always considered a liability for me and that has turned around,” he told People magazine in July, upon learning of the historic Emmy nomination. “In my life in the business, having that flamboyant ability, very often that’s where you’re pigeonholed, that’s where you’re sort of put in a box.”
“I’m glad to be out of that box,” he added. 
Having won an Emmy, a Grammy and a Tony award, Porter only needs an Oscar to achieve EGOT status. MORE EMMYS: Fleabag And Game Of Thrones Win Big At the 2019 Emmys See All The Looks From The 2019 Emmys Red Carpet
