During the event, mediated by journalist Luiza Brasil, Porter shared his artistic trajectory and the personal challenges he faced, including the story of his mother’s unconditional support, who overcame religious pressures to accept her gay son.
Porter moved the audience when he recalled how his mother, raised in a religious environment, faced the expectations of the church she attended, which advised her to reject him due to his sexual orientation.
“She chose unconditional love, she chose what Jesus would do,” the actor declared, highlighting the importance of acceptance and love amid social intolerance.
