@icebabe2257

2 жыл бұрын

He was taking a shot at him, and that's why he apologized. Obviously his main point was how homophobic the industry was to take so long to put a man on the cover, but he had no reason to being harry into it. He not only assumed Harry's sexuality(thinking they gave the cover to harry bc he's gay, which harry doesn't label his sexuality so how would he even know) but made it seem like harry had got it unfairly. Billy I think thought it was handed to harry as if harry wears dresses regularly, when harry has slowly but surely been making fashion statements over the years, and decided to wear a dress for the cover being the first man for vogue. So it's not what ppl thought he was talking about, he had in fact brought harry up bc he wanted to be the first man on vogue, and thought he deserved it bc he was wearing dresses longer, as if that was the reason it was given to harry. He was wrong, and it's good that he apologized. You can fight to be heard without bringing up someone who has nothing to do with the fight.

Billy Porter has not just been "wearing dresses" for longer. This isn't a superficial fashion statement conversation, it's about systems of intersectional oppression which Billy Porter has been fighting for decades, but a cis white man comes along and all the attention turns to him.

Amazing talent. The book is powerful.

I’m seeing comments about something that he had EVERY right to say what he said. And not have to apologize. The issue is not HARRY, the issue is that when the culture is presented by a POC (more importantly a black individual) it is either a.Rarely seen or b. not enough to be presented. The AMOUNT of queer androgynous POC should have been represented and THAT was what should have been on cover. It’s no disrespect to Harry but there are plenty of individuals that should have been on that cover before vogue and let’s face it, Vogue, along with other high magazines, rarely have representation of color.

But yeah, on one hand you could say it is not a big deal, historically. I mean, Louis XIV conquered much of the Low Countries sporting lacquered red high heels and lavish robes and dresses before finally being successfully countered and ousted by William III of Orange - of whom it was a public secret that he was a gay man. But this is not a repeat of history, it hardly even rhymes. High heels and dresses weren't necessarily associated with just men or women per se. Hell, make-up was initially invented for men, and women who wore it were frowned upon initially. But all these things were free of modern day biases and associations. And sadly a lot of things still need to be de-coupled as being either feminine or masculine. More importantly still, femininity needs to be de-coupled from associations like being weak, passive or demure.

I like Billy Porter and he shouldn't have apologized for anything involving Harry Styles. Because honestly that's how he felt when he saw the VOGUE cover and he wasn't the one on it knowing his fashion influence/sexuality. His original statement and reaction were the most genuine and not this half ass politically correct retraction. Now, taking all the credit for non-binary fashion was more of his ego talking due to the fact that other male celebrities have come before him. "BUT AGAIN, IT'S DEEPER THAN YOU" ....he was very correct to say this. There's no hate towards Harry Styles but they could have picked someone else if not Billy Porter for the cause ("a vocal, politically invested openly LGBT individuals").
