Why did Billy Porter kiss Joe Biden's hand at the White House Juneteenth event, and why has it sparked such a heated debate? In this video, we discuss the Billy Porter controversy - explore the significance of Juneteenth, delve into Joe Biden's history regarding racism and queer pandering, and discuss the complex issues of Black and queer assimilation. We'll also touch on Malcolm X’s and Martin Luther King Jr.'s differing views on systemic reform. #billyporter #pridemonth
