Billy Porter has joined a chorus of celebrities and advocacy groups in speaking up for the Black LGBTQ community this week after troubling footage showing an alleged attack on a transgender woman went viral.

In a strongly worded video posted to Instagram late Thursday, the Pose actor and singer addressed 21-year-old Iyanna Dior . A widely circulated video this week appears to show 20 to 30 men beating up Dior at a gas station in St. Paul, Minnesota.

The incident took place following an otherwise peaceful protest against racial inequality and police brutality, he said, before noting that Diors attackers appeared to be Black men.

My basic human rights have been up for legislation every single day that I have had breath in my body from all sides, said Porter, who is gay. By that, I mean that the Black communitys relationship with the LGBTQ+ community is appalling at best and eerily similar to that of white supremacists versus Black folk.
