From the incomparable Emmy, Grammy, and Tony Award winner, a
powerful and revealing autobiography about race, sexuality, art,
and healing-now in paperbackIt's easy to be yourself when who and
what you are is in vogue. But growing up Black and gay in America
has never been easy. Before Billy Porter was slaying red carpets
and giving an iconic Emmy-winning performance in the celebrated TV
show Pose; before he was the groundbreaking Tony and Grammy
Award-winning star of Broadway's Kinky Boots; and before he was an
acclaimed recording artist, actor, playwright, director, and
all-around legend, Porter was a young boy in Pittsburgh who was
seen as different, who didn't fit in. At five years old, Porter was
sent to therapy to "fix" his effeminacy. He was endlessly bullied
at school, sexually abused by his stepfather, and criticized at his
church. Porter came of age in a world where simply being himself
was a constant struggle. Billy Porter's Unprotected is the life
story of a singular artist and survivor in his own words. It is the
story of a boy whose talent and courage opened doors for him, but
only a crack. It is the story of a teenager discovering himself,
learning his voice and his craft amid deep trauma. And it is the
story of a young man whose unbreakable determination led him
through countless hard times to where he is now; a proud icon who
refuses to back down or hide. Porter is a multitalented,
multifaceted treasure at the top of his game, and Unprotected is a
resonant, inspirational story of trauma and healing, shot through
with his singular voice.
