Out actor Jonathan Bailey (above with his also-nominated co-star Matt Bomer) posted this message on his social media this week upon learning he’d been nominated for his first-ever Emmy Award for his moving performance in the limited series “Fellow Travelers.”
We were kneeling in prayer, hoping this would happen. Congratulations to @MattBomer, Jonathan Bailey, and @ronnyswaner on their #Emmy Award Nominations! #FellowTravelers pic.twitter.com/l95VTJ8TqR

This is how you show grace and gratitude – via Facebook:
“It is not lost on me that this sort of recognition is rare. I’ve grown up savouring the minimal queer television and film on offer whilst battling problematic media and societal criticism of queer life.
“I have loved so many award winning dramatic performances of gay characters but for Matt and I to be nominated together as gay actors feels like the sort of progress that would have made the world an easier place to grow up in.
“For that I am grateful and so unbelievably proud. Thank you to the TV Academy for this opportunity.”
Jonathan has already won the Critics Choice Award for Supporting Actor in a Limited Series for “Fellow Travelers.”
remember when Jonathan Bailey won the Critics’ Choice Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Limited Series for #FellowTravelers and his hands were shaking like this? ♥️ https://t.co/9c0ndQTP2p pic.twitter.com/8RUo7EvyxA
