[@lele-yu3qy]

Love the show, i binged watched it and can't wait for next season.

[@uniquelyrose1]

Love, Love, Love, this show!!!

[@MsDiva96]

The show is SO real. The fact that I can see so much of Pray Tell in Billy when he’s just being himself really proves that. This show is raw and genuine storytelling. Pose is such a gift.

[@Fromageization]

I LIVE for those two

[@keishajohnson4206]

Thank you for giving me a better understanding.

[@raven3886]

Yes...from one who has not shared in those experiences and never can or will this show gives me a glimpse into the lives and struggles of people who in many ways wanted nothing more than to belong and be loved. This show helps me to better understand that and I gave nothing but empathy. For me, this us why the show is important. (It's a bonus that MJ and Billy are two of my favourite characters)

[@franceslansberry4475]

Love you both and love, love, love POSE. I have fallen in love with the characters of this show....

[@saraalexander1875]

The whole show is good but TBH Billy Porter as Pray Tell ALONE was worth the $20 I paid iTunes to get the season. XD

[@ShePressure28]

Yes I love love love this show and it embodies geniune truths. Blanca is my best friend in my head! I love them all!!! Peace and Many blessings to all😘

[@rcj416]

I wish MJ has an Emmy soon she is so talented in her craft.

[@AdvocatesforYouth]

If you L O V E D this like we did, check out MJ's episode for the new LGBTQ Talk Show we just launched! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIGtmGWQaK-deJo&t=

💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@lovexlove-bh4xq]

Hahahaha really funky

[@Munkyjoe1]

MJ is really the only one that really looks like a real woman. They are all fabulous, beautiful, intelligent, graceful and amazing. I normally don’t like or approve of this lifestyle, but this show has opened my eyes and my heart. I love it!

[@marchbabi323]

Billy Porter reminds so much of my God brother

[@Djoodibooti]

MJ looks GLOSSED.

[@GeorgeJansen]

😢😢😢😥😥😥

[@JustDrina1987]

"It's easy to be who you are when what you are is what's popular." DID Y'ALL CATCH THAT?! That was a word on visibility, gender identity, social constructs, societal influence etc. How many people would live their truth if their truth was not taboo? How many people are laying next to a stifled human living the status quo? People who don't even acknowledge themselves and WON'T. EVER. Sheesh!

[@paolarodriguez8842]

On this show the word colored didn’t even cross my mind it seemed so normal to me

[@jamiedale5785]

I finally got some clarity. I would have never have known that the ladies were transgender!!!

[@SamAdamsDesigns]

She plays Blanca not Angel 🙄

[@ryno1509]

Sam Adams she played Angel in rent

[@SamAdamsDesigns]

ryan shannon omg 😂 thanks

[@eg-g]

The most abused phrase lately: "stay true to yourself", bullshit, so ridiculous, I mean, I've never heard a lawyer, an accountant, a doctor say that nonsense, it's funny that the people who always say that phrase are eccentric people, with unusual behaviors or lifestyles, as if they were justifying with society.
