The Insufferable Billy Porter Will Receive the 2024 Isabelle Stevenson Tony Award

Porter is being recognized for his work as an activist and spokesperson for the LGBTQIA+ community, specifically his work with The Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation and the Entertainment Community Fund, among other groups.

His get-up will be an over-the-top, stupid-looking , bizarre, nonsensical nightmare.

All we can hope is this is one of the in televised awards.

I find him clownish and don't mind him in small doses. Also I have seem him give some good performances. Since he actual does some advocacy and charity, this isn't the best opportunity to snark about him.

He has a lot of teefs!

It is impossible for any one person to be a “spokesperson for the LGBTQIA+ community” because we are not a monolith and don’t all follow the same ideology.

I find him fun and entertaining.

Apparently being a haughty dress-up clown = activist and spokesperson!

Nope, just living life and not taking celebrity nonsense too seriously.

I like him. I'd fuck him. With protection of course. But I might need some duct tape to shut him up

Bring your wallet, r15!

Maybe it means he's not long for the spotlight!

by Anonymousreply 17May 9, 2024 11:39 PM

Still can't believe he's an Oscar away from being an EGOT.

by Anonymousreply 18May 9, 2024 11:41 PM

I believe it. But I don't see an Oscar in his future.

by Anonymousreply 19May 9, 2024 11:49 PM

R15, by protection do you mean a paper bag over his head?

by Anonymousreply 20May 10, 2024 8:29 AM

isn't he one of your peeps? you should all be supporting him in his time in the limelight 🫠

by Anonymousreply 21May 10, 2024 9:26 AM

He’ll never win an Oscar.

R23 You seem nice, though.

when I think of all the unacknowledged, unheralded people who have worked tirelessly during the AIDS crisis, it's hard to get behind this. Couldn't they give it to Tom Viola who ran Broadway Cares or someone who really did the work? Not dissing Billy, but come on

by Anonymousreply 26May 10, 2024 8:03 PM

Tom Viola Davis?

by Anonymousreply 27May 10, 2024 9:41 PM

Unfortunately Tom got a lot of heat this year because Broadway Cares gave money to Gaza. It was a big no no apparently.

by Anonymousreply 28May 16, 2024 12:32 AM

R28, had he supported Israel his career would be over.

by Anonymousreply 29May 16, 2024 2:06 AM

I know it is the Post but a lot of industry folks were furious about the money being used for Gaza and so were donators.
