During a FYC screening of the finale of FX’s groundbreaking series “Pose,” Ryan Murphy surprised attendees with a special appearance by two very significant fans of the three-season sensation: Sir …
onstage at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena on Saturday during a post-screening Q&A, John and Furnish, who for decades have been tireless advocates for LGTBQ rights and HIV-AIDS medical advances through their Elton John AIDS Foundation, expressed their deep admiration for the way the series authentically chronicled the 80s-era New York ballroom scene and the HIV epidemic while dramatically increasing the visibility of trans characters on television.
Furnish noted that he also felt the series also offered a valuable education for generations that are unaware of the history of HIV-AIDS, paving the way for a further de-stigmatization of the disease and greater awareness of medical advances now used to combat and control it. After it was revealed that the couple rescheduled their vacation plans to be able to attend the event because of their passion for “Pose.” “A lot of praise should be given and a lot of credit to Ryan for making sure this program got made because it’s true. It never rings false,” said John. “And those outfits – my dear!”Elektra,” he proclaimed. “I am totally Elektra.”
“I was like, ‘You know what, I’m just going to be me,’ and I performed the shit out of ‘Philadelphia Freedom’ in the back seat of that car, and my father saw me for the first time, thanks to Elton John,” Murphy recalled. ‘We pulled into my driveway and he looked at me and he goes, ‘You have a good voice,’ and it was the first time he had ever said anything kind to me. So you’re so a part of my life, Elton, in a way that you’ll never know.
