Mj Rodriguez on How She's Feeling & Her Mirror Pep Talks:

[@waltlikka]

Last summer I said, “I would love to meet MJ & tell her how inspirational she is on “Pose.” A week later I’m in NYC at a Janet Jackson concert & who is standing 5 feet behind me-MJ RODRIGUEZ!! I told her how much she meant to me & she was so nice & took a pic with me. I LOVE HER!!!

She has no idea how much she’s changed television for LGBTQ aspiring actors and actresses.Thank you MJ for being you and sharing your art and paving the way for the rest of us.

I am not gay or Tran but this show is very a good learning aspect for all to learn about the 🏳️‍🌈 LQBTQ community.

[@thomascudgel1]

Ill tell you this...as a straight man the humanizing of this community and the emotional depth in this show is absolutely amazing and im not ashamed to say i love this show. This story deserves to be told and the messages in this show transcend the LGBTQ community as well. Keep it up yall!

She’s beautiful inside and out I truly enjoy this show!

Watching the character Blanca be Blanca has changed my life and given me a sense of a true inner "mother"

MJ wearing that wig makes her look a little bit like a Latina African American Cher. So beautiful!

[@anapatriciasanchezcalvo6082]

She is such a warm beam of light!! I love her personality😍And the power of her words, uff! Slay me sister! Bella MJ 💜

Thank you MJ for having the respect for explaining what Madonna was doing with VOGUE. I think POSE showed the sentiment of that time well. People call Madonna a thief when she was simply inspired by the people she saw. She gave a platform to queer artists time and again. And has paid a lot of respect and time to our community.

I’m not trans but I am a proud gay man and this show is absolutely amazing. I cried the very first episode and I’ve been hooked ever since. To know (well, I guess no. I didn’t know.) To watch these characters come alive and impact so many people on so many levels, is nothing short of amazing. I agree 100%, this show will go down in history for being so monumental in not only it’s truth but it’s integrity in telling the story of what these beautiful people went through. Fought for. Continue to fight for. It’s really inspirational to me and I hope that everyone involved in this show knows that. ❤️

This is what the people in paris is burning wanted to happen, back when the doccumentary was released none of the girls were paid like that. And i just feel like you amazing people are carrying the torch.
