Tony, Grammy and Emmy winner Audra McDonald brings her acclaimed and searing performance in Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar & Grill <\/strong><\/em>to HBO.  On the heels of winning her history-making sixth Tony Award for her stage role, McDonald gives a tour de force performance as the openly bisexual<\/a> jazz vocalist and song stylist of the 1930’s, Billie Holiday.  Filmed before a live<\/a> audience at Café Brasil in New Orleans, it tells Holiday’s life story through the songs that made her famous, including God Bless the Child<\/em>, Strange Fruit <\/em>and Taint Nobody’s Biz-ness<\/em>. At one point, as she staggers through another number between sips of alcohol, she says in a haze “You can only get to where you at by way of where you been.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\"Viceland&#039;sOn the second installment of Gaycation <\/em>on VICELAND<\/strong>, Ellen and Ian arrive in Rio during Carnival to find out how Brazil’s queer community live<\/a> in a place with the highest LGBTQ murder rate in the world.  It’s a journey which eventually leads them to one of the most dangerous confrontations of their lives – with an openly homophobic police officer.<\/p>\n

Former Grey’s Anatomy<\/em> star, and openly gay<\/a> actor, T.R. Knight gives a riveting performance within the new Hulu streaming miniseries 11.23.63<\/em><\/strong>.  Created by J.J. Abrams and Stephen King, the critically acclaimed show stars James Franco as Jake, a high school teacher who travels back in time to stop JFK’s assassination.  When Jake falls for a sweet librarian, her abusive and angry husband (Knight) would rather see her dead than give her a divorce.  All in all, it’s the stuff of history, drama and science fiction.<\/p>\n

RuPaul’s Drag Race<\/strong><\/em> fans will rejoice as Monday’s season premiere on Logo celebrates its 100th<\/sup> episode.  The new ladies<\/a> (and wigs) are as colorful as always, including Ms. Kim Chi from Chicago, the gorgeous Naysha Lopez and Brooklyn’s own Thorgy Thor.<\/p>\n
