Whether he was reading the children for their disastrous looks or losing his lover at the height of the AIDS crisis, Porter’s Pray Tell was one of the standouts on a show full of dynamic characters, and clearly we weren’t the only ones who noticed.

Pose was also nominated Best Television Series, Drama, two huge wins for Hollywood’s burgeoning renaissance of queer stories.
