The cast of upcoming FX series Pose have shared love letters written to members of the LGBTIQ+ community, ahead of the show's June 3rd premiere in America.

Created by Ryan Murphy, the show has already been receiving acclaim for employing a combined total of 140 trans cast and crew members throughout its production - including Janet Mock, who writes, directs and produces on the series.
The show's stars have now taken to social media to share their messages of hope and acceptance - recording a number of on-camera pieces.

"We're here together, as sisters and brothers, all fighting for the same cause," says actress Hailie Sahar in the moving video compilation.

"For love, acceptance and peace."
Murphy, the man behind hit shows including Glee and American Horror Story, has previously spoken out about the importance of embracing the LGBTIQ+ community while bringing Pose to life.

"The first season of Pose will feature 50-plus LGBTQ characters — a record in American television history. I can’t wait for people to see this incredibly talented, passionate cast,” he previously said.

“The history of this moment is not lost on me."
