House of Abundance vs. House of Evangelista | Pose S01E01

[@Asigedge]

As a girl who was raised by 4 lesbians and a fabulous Queen, this reminded me of the days I spent as a little girl, watching my godmother get ready for drag shows. She was phenomenal. Tall, hair nor dress ever out of place. Makeup was impeccable. I miss her everyday.

I just want to say that I am mexican with a very deep and strong Mexican machismo. Yes I act what you would call masculine, but am gay. And this amazing show makes me more eager to learn about my beautiful lgbtq culture. So much to learn. Not just the good but the bad, I take for granted so many things that my fellow people couldn't do years ago. I'm realizing it now and need to know more of my history.

Love what Bad Bunny is doing for Latino male machismo culture. I am a TS girl but my bf is Puerto Rican and extremely machismo street type. Men like that need Latino role models who don’t follow the strict roles set for men. Love to see LGBT culture going mainstream. For lgbt people and for people like my bf who date us. ❤

[@charlesgidney9148]

The use of music to develop the storylines really made this a good show to watch. This battle was a clean sweep. So using "Swept Away" by Diana Ross was pure genius. Also, the look that Electra gives Blanca at 2:30 when she realizes her potential to mold Damon is priceless. The first win is in the bag but she knows that Blanca will become a forced to be reckoned with.

@@whocares15 it's not solely though?? the queens aren't all trans? I haven't watched Pose yet but i've seen paris is burning and since it's based on that then i'm correctly assuming the characters are the same. one of the main queens/leader of one of the houses was a gay man. Ballrooms had walks for the drag kings/lesbians and the gay queens and transwomen. And some categories were mixed, so it's not a story about just one of those groups of people lol. Also that comment is probably using gay as an umbrella term...it's not that deep
