#11 Billy Porter
Rapidly rising to the top of the popularity charts in Broadway, Billy Porter has become an international icon. Not only was he the first openly gay black man to earn an Emmy nomination, but he also made history by being the first openly gay black man to win an Emmy.
Porter is a vocal supporter of increased LGBT visibility in film and television, and he frequently wears avant-garde looks on the red carpet. In January 2017, he officially tied the knot with his long-term boyfriend, Adam Porter-Smith.
