Mj Rodriguez, who plays Blanca on the series, accounted for one of nine nominations earned by 'Pose' this year.

The"Pose" star on Tuesday made Emmy history, becoming the first out trans woman to be nominated in the outstanding lead actress category for her role in the FX drama, GLAAD, a leading LGBTQ advocacy organization, told CNN. She is also the first out trans performer nominated in any lead acting category, according to the organization.

Billy Porter, who won his first Emmy in 2019, was nominated in the lead actor category, and"Pose" received a nomination for best drama. Last month, GLAAD rallied over 40 organizations for an open letter that encouraged Emmy voters to support the groundbreaking series in its final season, calling it a show that"transformed the landscape of transgender representation in Hollywood and educated the world on who transgender people are."

"I am honored and humbled to have my work once again be recognized by the academy," Porter said of his nomination this year."I stand at the intersection of art and activism, and I am forever grateful for the healing journey that POSE has been for myself, my colleagues and the world!"
