Pose was such a important part of my life, not only helped me as a queer latine, it learn about our history, it helped me go trough one of the most dark and heavy time of my life, loosing my best friend to AIDS and my grandmother died from covid, like in the same span of 5 months, i had barely recovered from loosing my grandmother i lost one of the biggest supporter that was helping me navigate throughout the grief, and like Blanca reminded me so so so much of my friend, it was one of the hardest and most traumatic times of my life, pose besides giving me so much insight and helped me see my privilege, it also extremely touching because, it was like a beautiful memento of her, so it has a special place on my heart

LOVE - HER!! First saw her in POSE (which I’ve watched all the way through three times) and was blown away by her triumph of a performance. She should have won that Emmy but I know some day she will. I love her positive, down-to-earth vibes and will always take the time to watch her in whatever project she’s in! 😎👍❤️❤️❤️📺📽

It breaks my heart to that so many parents, kicked their kids out into the streets for living their truth. I am so honored and grateful that my mother excepted my brother for who he is. He is my sons Godfather and I named my son after him. That's what I called real parental love. Shame on the folks for giving up on their children!!!

@drogba0019 11 ай бұрын

LMAO "living their truth". Living in the truth is accepting who you are born as, not living in delusion and mutilating yourself.

Pose changed how I view myself and the 2SLGBTQIA community. I didn't know how bad AIDS was, and that our people were just left to die. It made me want to be better about being tested and being active in my community as a trans person. I finished the show very quickly, as I had no idea the 3rd season would be the last. The dance between Blanca and Pray to Ain No Mountain High Enough is hands down my favorite scene in the whole show. Thank you for bringing Blanca so much life; you made me cry so so much. You are such an inspiration 💖🌈😭

I absolutely love her and the fact that she is still going so strong in her career. Her vibe is something to cheer on and emulate. Go head girl!! But I gotta say that look what anyone can achieve with love and support and acceptance. Bravo for her but bravo to her friends and her family!! Reaching your goals and going high in your career does not mean you ever have to do it alone.
