Pose Shines a Revolutionary Spotlight on Trans Lives

In the first episode of Pose, the newest series from superproducer Ryan Murphy, a young black man, Damon (Ryan Jamaal Swain), is kicked out of his home after his parents discover gay pornography in his bedroom. Suddenly homeless, Damon makes a run for New York City, where he falls in with a group of gay and transgender people who have forged a tight-knit community. They're all looking for something universal, something that they find in one another: a family.
