Billy Porter Lost His Voice To Severe Acid Reflux, Leaning Into New Rasp

"Somebody needs to be preached to! Because the world is a mess!" Billy Porter reacts to being labeled "too preachy" in his fight for defending LGBTQ+ rights, and shares the importance of not allowing anyone to police your response when fighting for what's right. Billy also dishes on the evolution of his singing voice following a severe bout of acid reflux, and how he channeled the power of his unique self in his new album "Black Mona Lisa."

    Kelly Clarkson may not be a fashion person on her own, but she has great stylists for her public face. This is one of my favorite Billy Porter interviews. I think it comes from mutual respect.

    Billy has such an exquisite way of expressing positivity and self affirmation that it’s just empowering! We don’t need permission to be ourselves. I agree that the word tolerance is denigrating because it is the same as saying “to put up with. “ and that is not showing respect it’s just another way of invalidating another person’s existence!
