"So, with Murphy by his side for support, and a cadre of documentary cameras hovering above, Porter tells his story."

You were leaning in to speak to me
Acting like a mover shaker
Dancing to Madonna then you kissed me
And I think about it all the time

Had to google him.

See he played Lola in Kinky Boots musical. Never see the musical but I loved the movie.

Waiting for the day that nobody cares when someone shares their HIV status.

I've seen some of his work and the news brought tears to my eyes.

Visibility matters, so I'm happy he was brave enough to share his status. He's received tons of support from fans and his fellow actors.
