Telling me and holding my face she told me how she snuck out of the house at 13 years old just to watch Diana Ross perform in Central Park in 1983. I could tell it was a nostalgia moment for her that I was so happy to be there for it made me google Diana Ross and I never knew how much of an impact Diana Ross was to the LBGT community as my mother is a lesbian and I’m transgender we shared a great moment together that I’ll never forget.

This episode..... wow!!! Was so phenomenal !!!!! I stayed in tears watching this episode, especially when Pray died. I cried like a baby. I knew he was going to die, because I have learned in movies and television dramas, you have to read the characters. I knew it when he was talking to Blanca as they were getting ready to dance, and when she saw him alive for the last time outside when they both walked in different directions. I think Pray gave up because he saw that Ricky was getting worse, and he wanted to not see his friends continue to die from HIV. Instead of staying alive with the medication, and he knew that the study wasn't letting people of color in like they should, he wanted to save Ricky's life, so he stopped taking his pills. This part when they danced to Diana Ross, it hit me hard because it was so beautiful, and I knew the memories Pray would leave behind. I would say this is one of the best shows I have seen on television, and I put this show up with The Games of Thrones, and LoveCraft. The way they depicted the lives of gay and transgender people back in the day, was amazing!!!!! I hope that this show will get awards, because it is very much deserved. I don't care what their lifestyle is, they are people, and they should be recognized for their wonderful performances on POSE!!

And when Pray Tell's fate was revealed in the next scene, I screamed, "I KNEW IT!!" I knew Ryan Murphy was going to rip our hearts out and leaving us a bawling mess!

I find myself coming back to watch this clip for at least a week, every month since it aired. I was so ready for them to come out and watch them spend that last moment together. I knew they both were gonna bring it hard ❤️ I cried so hard watching this episode. I still cry every single time the second the music starts up 😭 Prey really gave Blanca such a beautiful last memory together and an unforgettable performance for everyone in the ballroom. He went out with style and grace ❤️ Pose was such a good show and made me love every character from the community (not the upper class douches in the show). Man, I remember crying my eyes out during the episode when Candy died. Especially when they showed her get out of the coffin and perform her Candy's Sweet Refrain to Never Knew Love Like This Before. That episode hit me hard. And in the episode when Prey dies, I was already bawling during his last performance cause I knew he was gonna die. I cried even more when Ricky found him and then I full on lost it when Blanca found out he was gone and cried in Ricky's arms.

Billy revealed this year he has been living with HIV since 2007. The entire episode "Take Me to Church" was based on his life in Pittsburgh. I was stunned. Still am. He said the moment he found out he reacted exactly as he did on the show. Just think of what we would have missed out on if HIV meds weren't around.

I think Pray knew it was his last night because he killed himself. Remember earlier in the season with his friend who said he was going to OD himself at a fine hotel? It makes sense. Pray knew he was getting sick again because he’d been giving his meds to Ricky. And he knew that would mess up the study and maybe delay the drugs being approved. So he did it his own way. That scene when he removes his makeup and blows out the candles - he knows what he’s going to do.
