Pose is now the first TV series with a mostly trans cast to be nominated in any category for the Golden Globes. Pose is a show that takes place in 1980s New York with a focus on the LGBTQ community and ballroom culture. The show explores not only the complexities of ballroom culture, but issues like the HIV/AIDS crisis. Pose is known as a groundbreaking show that's helping normalize seeing trans people on TV in roles that talk about trans identity.
Personally, I love pose and I was so happy to hear that it got nominated as I think it's doing a lot for the television industry and has very good writing. This show reminds me a lot of a documentary called Paris Is Burning which explores the real lives of LGBTQ people that ate, slept, and breathed in the ballroom. The film makes history as is was selected for preservation in the Unites States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.
