My art is my calling, my purpose, dare I say my ministry, and I will proudly and unequivocally use my platform to "preach" the gospel of truth and love for as long as I have breath in my body. Because, truth be told, as we have seen the events of the last five-plus years unfold, there is still half of our country who doesn't get it. There are still factions of hate all over the world who believe in absolute, male, straight, white supremacy power, in perpetuity, at any cost. Our job as artists and storytellers is to teach and, when necessary, preach the gospel of true humanity in all its forms.
-- Billy Porter, Unprotected, p. 240
