Billy Porter apologizes to Harry Styles for Vogue cover remark: 'Not about you'
"I feel like the fashion industry has accepted me because they have to," Porter said in an interview withof London last month."I'm not necessarily convinced and here is why. I created the conversation and yet Vogue still put Harry Styles, a straight white man, in a dress on their cover for the first time.
"I'm not dragging Harry Styles, but he is the one you're going to try and use to represent this new conversation?" the"Pose" star continued."He doesn't care, he's just doing it because it's the thing to do. This is politics for me. This is my life. I had to fight my entire life to get to the place where I could wear a dress to the Oscars and not be gunned now. All he has to do is be white and straight.
In his recent “Late Show” appearance, Porter explained that he did not intend to specifically criticize Styles, but to call attention to systemic discrimination when it comes to who is given a platform in the fashion world.Frazer Harrison / Getty Images “The conversation is actually deeper than that,” he said. “It is about the systems of oppression and erasure of people of color who contribute to the culture. Now, that's a lot to unpack. I'm willing to unpack it, sans the dragging and cancel culture of the Internet, because I do not now, nor will ever, adjudicate my life or humanity in sound bites on social media.”"I'm sorry, Harry. I didn't mean no harm,” he said. “I'm a gay man.
"Clothes are there to have fun with and experiment with and play with," Styles said."What’s really exciting is that all of these lines are just kind of crumbling away. When you take away ‘There’s clothes for men and there’s clothes for women,’ once you remove any barriers, obviously you open up the arena in which you can play. I’ll go in shops sometimes, and I just find myself looking at the women’s clothes thinking they’re amazing.
