The Category Is “Shut Out of the 2020 Emmys” and the Winner Is Pose, the Reason Is Transphobia

The Emmy nominations are out and this year, there are 11 nominated lesbian, bisexual, queer or trans actresses being honored for their work! There’s 15 nominations going to LGBT women’s roles on screen. With so much to celebrate, it also hurts to once again see the trans cast and crew of Pose face yet another shut out.
