He always stood out to me because of his voice and how part of being a church kid singing with my family and in church. I want him to know I love this man sooo much❣️❣️❣️ He has been such a beautiful part of my life through his music and through his words of encouragement ❣️.

    Watching Pose, I experienced so many emotions.
    My mother passed from AIDS when I was 13yrs old (in 1997) & the way she was treated by family, friends, doctors, etc broke my heart.
    As a child I didn't fully understand the magnitude of what was going on. I just remember being told by a doctor that "your mom is going to die." From that day forward I was scared to leave her side or sleep because I was constantly checking to make sure she was still breathing.
    There were times when I did act out & be mean to her not knowing how to express my true feeling & I carry alot of guilt for that to this day.
    I can't even began to imagine what she must have been going through knowing she was dying & leaving behind 3 children.
    I have a 7yr old & one of my biggest fears I dying before she's old enough to fend for herself.
    Starting the series it didn't dawn on me that HIV/AIDS would be a pivotal part of the dialog but I'm so glad it was.
    Ive had yrs of counseling & thought I was "over it" but the show forced to go to the depths of places I tried yrs to avoid & deal with those emotions.

      Only GOD can condemn and if more Christian and Bible believers would read scripture instead of buffeting the Holy Bible they will have a real relationship with the LORD GOD. Instead of judging people or gossiping about people they would correct people in love no matter what someone or wrong doing is. What GOD did say about sin in the New Testament that one sin is not greater than the other. For anyone teaching the Holy Bible, teach Scriptures and not how to take what you want from the Bible like it’s a buffet. The buffeting of the Bible Scriptures why some non Believers thought the Bible contradicted itself. When the Word does not the Bible teaches on changes that were made over time from one generation to another, but someone who is depending on someone else, including a Christian church leader to read and explain the Holy Bible to them then it will be very difficult for such a person to be able to discern what the LORD GOD is saying and teaching in HIS Word.

One thing I noticed he said is that as a kid he heard he would get AIDS or homosexual’s would get AIDS and he would go to hell if he doesn’t leave the lifestyle. That prophecy over his life has come true. He has AIDS but is he waiting to see if the hell part is true? We preach God’s love but we have to be fair and balanced and preach repentance too. Living this lifestyle got him sick but thank God he’s still here. True love is teaching the younger generation don’t make the mistakes I made and telling them to come to repentance.

      If his family and the church did not cast him out he wouldn't have been young, lost, and confused. If they had accepted him and nurtured him he probably wouldn't have gotten aids in the 1st place.
      So yes it's a self fulfilling prophecy, the church talks against contraception and they don't want education or acceptance of homosexuals. Therefore young men and women are left to find their own way, too young and often they fall victim too disease or suicide.

And if we don’t repent and start living for Christ Hell will be the only way and that’s the Broadway!!!! How about you go Seek to have a relationship with Christ, so you can learn His ways and not man ways! Jesus Christ is Lord! He’s the only Lord!

    Enjoyed this story, brother. The Father's purpose is not to condemn or shame. All mankind have sinned and fall short of YHWH's glory. We have missed the mark of right standing with the Creator's desires. He grants us the grace to come boldly before His throne of grace that we may obtain the unearned gift of salvation and cleansing from all unrighteousness. He is able to save, transform, and make your mind new in Him.

      @Krystal My you see,the thing with God is that he reigns/rains on the just and the unjust.Bsd things happen to good people and vice versa.If people say that gaydom is right,then basically they are saying God isnt sure about his rules.Some people say all sins are equal.I choose to differ.I refuse to admit a child molestor,rapist or murderer will get the same judgment as a person who stole a bag of rice to survive.The ONLY person who can answer that is God himself.Once we have the breath of life,we can change and ask forgiveness.Life on Earth is by choice.When we die,its all up to Him.And the most important thing i wanna say is ;The Devil also blesses people.The people of God have to pray for the strength of discernment,wisdom,knowledge and understanding because our strongest weapon is FAITH❤🤝🏾✊🏾

      @Krystal My my comment is to Billy Porter. Salvation, transformation and deliverance from all sinful unrighteousness comes from God. I have a couple of licenses and working on a theology degree and Masters in theology. I'm in my mid 40s, and have been teaching and preaching for 30 yrs. Me and you preaching to each other is a waste of time. We are commissioned to the lost, hurting, disadvantaged, and demon possessed. I wouldn't change one iota of what I said to that gentleman. It is Holy Spirit approved. If you feel led to say more to him, let the LORD use you.

    I lost my gay cousin to suicide, as he grew tired of hiding his sexuality. When we used to play dress up as a kid, he loved to dress up in makeup and dresses. When his father caught us, he beat my cousin so badly in front of me. It mortified both of us. So, when my cousin killed himself at 21, it tore a part of me. To this day, you hate my cousin’s father.
