Is that what you got from my post?  

Seemed like you were saying BP should be happy to be featured on OUT and Vogue should be reserved for straight white men.

That’s not at all what he’s saying! He just has a problem with so much focus on Harry’s cover considering how many queer men have been dressing this way for years while Harry was in 1D not breaking any gender norms at all.

His problem is that he is always the victim.

He comes across that way sometimes, but I can 100% see where he’s coming from. It’s so bizarre to see a lot of straight white men and women be seen as these LGBT trailblazers for wearing gender bending clothing compared to actual gay actors.

Didn’t bother him in Kinky Boots. 
 

Where’s his outrage over Broadway? Straight men dress as women quite frequently on the stage.

He’s stereotyping everything! 
 

No straight guy should wear a dress.  Gays only! 
 

Girl, shut up 

When he's the epitome of stereotypes 

 

Anyway, King Harry remains unbothered

I didn’t even know Billy was on the cover of OUT, I was referring to the fact that he’s randomly shading non-binary people when Harry isn’t even that. And if it had been an Asian man or an indigenous man, would that have been a bad choice too because they are not gay? 

 

He could have made a point here, but instead he showed his misogyny by calling Anna a b**** and then randomly dragged nb people, and for what?

Show me where Billy said he’s against straight men dressing in feminine clothing. He has an issue with the systemic issue of fashion magazines and society at large praising straight men for this while not highlighting or uplifting queer men who were trailblazers and shaped the world of fashion. If you people had legitimate arguments that proved him wrong you wouldn’t need to deflect to “but straight men wear dress b4 Harold!!”

Yes because indigenous men get featured on the cover of Vogue so often. Bffr

[Talento]

Didn't he tell trans women to 'wait their turn' when he won an Emmy while the rest of the Pose cast was snubbed and people rightfully called the Emmys out? He just seems bitter HE wasn't the "first solo man" or whatever to cover Vogue.

Billy Porter cares about Billy Porter. He stands on the shoulders of trans women and outwardly denies that he needs to thank them in this same interview. While the climate for trans folk is the way it is. Billy Porter has no interest in helping the community or making it grow. He said this back in 2021, then apologized and said the problem wasn't Harry, and now he came for him again, and in the middle Harry said nothing and did nothing to warrant it. But Billy lost his house and got divorced and is clearly going through something, so he seeks attention and validation through this because it worked the last time (I think he's forgetting he also got lashings and that's why he had to apologize).

 

Meanwhile, Harry pays his dues to the people that stood before him and constantly recognizes them. Supports trans folks with words AND money. And has said time and time again that nothing he does in terms of fashion has anything to do with his sexuality. That he just wears things because it's fun and he likes it.

 

This is a one-sided fight that does not affect Harry and that Harry does not engage in. It has been going on for nearly a decade now and it's BORING and STALE.

 

And for the record, he did do "gender bending stuff" in 1D, just in his own time instead of at events and concerts because he was supposed to be part of a group.

[SpaceOddity]

AGAIN!? Jesus ******* christ, let it go, it's been years.

I agree that there should be representation of queer people, but I also find it weird that people act like gender-bending or gender non-comformative clothing is a relatively new concept to the mainstream and had prior only been popular within the queer community, or that people doing that in recent memory are somehow "trailblazers". David Bowie, Freddie Mercury, Prince, Grace Jones, Boy George and many more had all been doing this in a very mainstream way decades ago.

[BrokenMachine]

Great for Billy to call him out for the queerbating. As for the non-binary comment I'm guessing it goes more directed to Harry's fashion than his identity, the comment doesn't seem out of place. He still comes off as jealous anyways

Billy Porter is a stupid person

A lot of Gen Z act like Harry invented this though.

1. None of these people are saying he's a trailblazer.

2. The first one is a setup account anyway

3. The third one is a Larrie anyway

4. Harry is breaking gender roles. He's not a trailblazer, but he is breaking gender roles

 

So, again, proof that Gen Z believes and I quote:
