On the evening of February 4, President Donald Trump will deliver his State of the Union Address. But before he could do so, at noon, award-winning actor Billy Porter gave the LGBTQ State of the Union live on LogoTV, via Facebook, Twitter and YouTube

“And mine will contain more complete sentences,” Porter quipped in his video announcement on February 1.  

The actor, who plays Pray Tell on FX Networks’ “Pose,” delivered last year's state of the union as well and his speech delved into the increased violence LGBTQ+ communities face, as well as progress being made. “We are here and if the victories of the last year prove anything, we ain’t going no damn where,” Porter said in his address
