Billy Porter is fabulous and a good person. ❤️
@Road Rover you mean the sexual abuse and mental abuse he endured as a child at the hands of his stepfather?
@Road Rover he didn't sleep with him till they day he died he was a child that was MOLESTED YOU ARE STRAIGHT UP CRAZY. NOW I DON'T KNOW WHEN HE DIES BUT I KNOW IT STOP WHRN HE WAS 12. 13 YRS. OLD A BABY HE WASN'T HAVING A RELATIONSHIP HE WAS BEING RAPED BY SOMEONE HE THOUGHT WAS A FATHER FIG AND HE TRUSTED. GET IT YOU JACKWEED .A CHILDDDDDD. NOT AND CONSENTING ADULT THANK YOU.
I don't know much about Billy Porter, but seeing this makes me an instant fan. Absolute fan of confidence, humor and positive character!
Billy's a wild child, and I'm glad he's found joy in a way that's uniquely his. If he sent me shoes, I'd wear them!
They are really cute. I'd find my wild side. Positive vibes from New Hampshire,remember to be kind to each other and yourself during this pandemic and social crisis
@@tammystockley-loughlin7680 bravo 👏Amen
Billy is so over the top!--because that's what works for him, and anyone who's found their way just makes me happy!
I love this philosophy. 👏👏👏
Or he's just on drugs
I agree that entertainers/artists such as this fella provide a welcome dose of flamboyant extravaganza, especially to kids. That said, I have a feeling he would be exhausting and annoying to be around, especially if you're in a solemn/mellow mood or if you have not yet had your morning coffee.
@@kenster8270 I wouldn't be surprised if he's one of those people like Will Ferrell that turns it on for the audiences and when need be and actually can be quiet in his personal life, especially when he thinks a friend needs it.
@@kenster8270 I mean honestly, can't you see him bringing you a nice hot cup of tea and sitting quietly patting your hands saying, tell me what that b**** did.
Billy Porter is such a beautiful human being, inside and out. I've never seen a single interview with him that didn't make me smile. His energy, enthusiasm, and pure passion are a joy to behold. 🖤🖤🖤
Lmao 🤣
Do you even have a personality ?
@Purple Pill Philosophy , if you were to laugh your butt off but there would be nothing left of you. You're all butt 😊.
Billy has a good heart, and donating that money from the shoes too the Trevor Project will help a lot of kids in that community enjoy stability like anyone else. Well done Billy! 👏👏👏🤗
Unrelated, but I adore your screen name. 🖤🌌🚀
And just how old are these kids?
@@audrey9016 why does it matter? Often gay folks are aware that they are different before adulthood or even puberty. If this doesn't affect you, you should worry about your own business...if your child is questioning, you should be helping them find whatever group where they are safe and appreciated for who they are. Positive vibes from New Hampshire, remember to be kind to each other and yourself during this pandemic and social crisis
Hes taking creds from actual enby fashion as a cis man calling harry straight when hes made songs about guys (fuck off larry shippers this is not related to that at all you have to stop harassing them) and says hes the first guy to ever wear a dress, that’s childish and hes a moron thinking he can just spew his mouth to get fame and drama over harry because he’s becoming really popular to create controversies about for your own gig
YES!!
💙
You better preach Billy Porter!!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Billy is a whole vibe honey
This guy’s energy is just amazing. Imagine having him in your family!
Happy faces☺️☺️
Dude seriously, he seems like such a fun guy to hang around with
Naa, no thanks
Yeah, his presence alone could cure my depression.
This kind of people tend to be overbearing. Fabulous, but to be taken in small doses.
Billy Porter really knows how to dress always. Love you!!!!
people really thought he was taking a shot at Harry? it was so obvious he was talking about the industry it’s so ridiculous he had to apologize
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.
@@icebabe2257 he didn't apologise for what he said, he apologised for inadvertently creating an environment in which a cis white man again was centred, which always detracts from the ACTUAL conversation. 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. I like Harry but Billy wasn't wrong at all in commenting on the decision.
@@icebabe2257 he assumed Harry was straight and he’s definitely not
@@Geoffrey454 Harry a cis man ? 🤣😂🤣😂
@@levent.a.7280 yeah he is duh
I love Billy! A fantastic singer!
"Shame is a silencer and silence is a murderer. [So] shame is a murderer." - Billy Porter.
Whether with COVID or HIV/AIDS, the fact remains that Silence = Death.
Amen to that!!!
I adore Billy Porter!
Billy Porter makes the world a better place.
He puts a smile on my face every time I see him.
Billy is only an Oscar away from being an "EGOT"...wow. impressive
I LOVE Billy Porter!!!!!! He is truth on the inside...no matter WHAT you see on the outside.
Amen My brother I just love your truth
Oh my word, I just had this amazing mental image of Billy Porter on Jonathan Van Ness' podcast Getting Curious!!! Can you imagine?
I adore Billy, I always have. He's one of my heros and I'm a white, cis woman in her 40s in New Zealand.... his energy, his TRUTH, has global impact 🥰
Same, me too....plain, married, white gal in her 50s...he just makes me smile. Positive vibes from New Hampshire ,remember to be kind to each other and yourself during this pandemic and social crisis
So, when you say cis woman, you mean woman.
@@Mexicobeanpole no, that's not what that means
Billy has amazing energy
I LOVE HIS OUTFIT
This interview is life changing.
To be able to say, I am feeling real JOY for the first time, has to be a liberation on another Level of Healing.
I love Billy Porter SO much!!!!!!!!!!!
😭🥰👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Billy Porter is a living ICON and I hope he knows that. We love you, Billy!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
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.
🎯
They don’t need to represent anyone. They can do whatever the hell they want. It’s not a publicity funded publication.
I can’t look at this man and not smile. We must protect Billy Porter at all costs. “Call a bitch!”
That made me laugh out loud and scared the cat...love him. Positive vibes from New Hampshire, remember to be kind to each other and yourself during this pandemic and social crisis
Billy’s entrance is the one I’m gonna use from now on. I don’t care if I’m entering a party, the bank or the DMV, THAT’S the entrance I’m using!!
I wish I could enter the room with such energy and style!!!
Which song were they playing for his entrance?
[Edit] Found it. "Children"
czcams.com/video/0CbrteAcXGI/video.html
Billy makes THE BEST entrances! Check out one he had on James Corden a few years ago.
I love how unapologetically authentic he is
I love me some Billy Porter!!! ♥♥
OMG I just love me some Billy Porter 💯🙏
I love love love Billy Porter.
Thank you!
We should be thankful of him..
Wasn't motivated as a gay.Alwys in the corner hiding
And being bullied until HARRY STYLES 💓💓💓
HE loves you he love and respect black people
i think he is totally right. there is nothing wrong with Stiles being the first male on the cover, but if they are talking drag, there are others more deserving. He did fight hard for this and he would have deserved it. You go, girl :-)!
Pragmatically, if men can wear different clothes than traditional 'male' outfits then.......men can wear different clothes.
It doesn't "need" to be Porter, necessarily, or for it to be put into 'oh yeah, they're doing drag'.
@@telectronix1368 Please explain to me why when we ar talking about the fact that some people get praised, celebrate and paid for stuff other people get shamed insulted for nobody understand. I'm literally crying WHY DON'T PEOPLE GET THE PAIN??!??
@@graceg9086 My comment has nothing to do with what you asked.
just bc he wore a dress doesn't make it drag lol
Rupaul comes to my mind.
Tears of joy because of you, Mr Porter!
Love me some Billy Porter!! ❤💯💋👑🍷
I love billy porta. Bless him.
How does Billy Porter not have his own Vogue cover? His style is unmatched. He's exactly what vogue is all about. How has he been ignored by them so long?
Truth.
Thank you 🤩
Well it's incredibly rare to have a man on the cover. It is a magazine aimed at women
@@megblight4529 Yeah, I guess. But, if we can have a Harry Styles cover, I feel like we can have any beautiful and stylish people. I understand your point though.
@@ALZulas yes. I'm sure the magazine owners pick who they think will sell the most. Sadly this probably reflects societal racism and other biases. Vogue is very mainstream and establishment old media so is likely particular slow to evolve. I don't even think it's very relevant anymore. I won't comment whether it is warranted but Harry styles is far more famous than Billy is so will likely sell more to Vogue customers. It isn't journalism, it's advertising.
I love Billy so much 💖
Mr. Poter's style, spirit, truthself, and charisma are unique and contagious! I will wear anything he creates! 🌈💞🌹👍🤗
Billy Porter...you makes me smile. Positive vibes from New Hampshire, remember to be kind to each other and yourself during this pandemic and social crisis
I don’t stick around for many of the guests, but Billy Porter is definitely worth my time!
Awww. Poor Stephen can _not_ let go of getting uninvited from Obama's 60th. 😁
laalaa99stl - Hi - I've been off the circuit a bit - can you tell me what the story was about with Obama invite -
thanks (New Zealand - where we grew the large potato)
@@joanne4758 Obama had an enormous 60th birthday party planned on Martha's Vineyard for over 200 people: celebrities and friends and family. But there was a COVID surge in August 2021, so they cut the guest list way back, to avoid having a super spreader event. Stephen and Evvie were one of the couples who were uninvited. He was so disappointed!
I just love his energy!!!
Hey, Billy, David Bowie called from 1970. Wants you to hold his hem and stop pretending you're the only person with the recipe for ice.
Reading the book now, it is excellent 👍 he is epic, honey ... To have such a steely sense of self with all he endured is just amazing. To say he is an iconic legend already at 50 years old is an understatement.
I am such a fan of both!
Amazing talent. The book is powerful.
I love Billy Porter
✨♥️✨Billy Porter! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🔥✨THANK 🌷🌻🌹, for being U.✨🙏🏽
Keep speaking the truth Billy! There will be a statue of you one day in the future
Wear what you want whenever you go anywhere! Heck yes! That is my mantra as well, sweet pea! Also, this lady carries a fan all the time, I have rainbow, zebra and leopard! And there is no better shade than fan shade!
Yassss
I have always adored Billy Porter I am so glad that he finally living a wonderful life. I think he is also an amazing human being.
Unprotected, Billy’s book is absolutely amazing !!!! Such a great easy read , so alive, vibrant, and filled with what is important in life : ART 🌹♥️🌹
Love the gift shoes !!! So funnnnnn
Me. Porter is an absolute ray of sunshine. I hope it never runs out even after we are all long gone so that other generations can learn what he put forward.
He is such a beautiful man! He has that same infectious joie de vive as John Batiste. 💗
I looveee those shoes!
I love him so much.
❤️
Love You My Brother ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥲 You're Amazing
I love love love him
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").
YES!!
🙌
Omg, I love him!
What a wonderfully enlightening interview. 💜💛
Sweet wonderful person so incredibly talented. ❤️ him. Just watched his Kennedy’s Center tribute to Bette Midler . Wow
Love that suit...I want one.
Hi and Hello sir Billy Porter from the heart of Asia's Philippines
BEAUTIFUL HEART TRANSGENDER PERSON INSIDE AND OUT.💜💜💜💜💙💙💙💙♥️♥️♥️💜💜💜
This guy needs to play Hermes in Hadestown pronto!
i respect billy porter but i think he's missing the point here. men wearing female-coded clothing is not only the invention of queer poc. harry himself identified his influences as bowie, prince and freddie mercury. (i'm also not sure why billy is so certain that harry is straight??) we shouldn't gatekeep a movement that's about breaking down boundaries.
Very much agreed
The whole apology just seemed so fake and like what he said didn’t have negative impact towards Harry. To be honest just sounded like bullying and gaslighting 🤷🏽♂️ I just don’t like his attitude about it.
@hnel435 I don’t think it’s that deep. It’s not often that we see someone who publicly dates women wearing dresses, so people are gonna talk about him. It’s that simple. He is not the first man who did it, but he’s a heartthrob who are appealing to a lot of people. It is what it is. People are gonna adore whoever they are attracted to.
Billy Porter is Legend.
Billy’s the best!!!
Love you, your vivacity, your voice, talent and truth.
Thank you.
(First got to know you singing ‘Everything’s Commin Up Roses’ at the Tony’s.)
Better late than never 💁🏼♂️
i remember the first interview he did, and was just one set, super quick, nothing much. Now here he is, two times! yeah, Billy you are famous now and i love u! =)
Love Billy! Speaks truth!
👏
So cute. So inspiring
I like the shoes
Love this man!!
God Blessed Amen Alleluaah 🌄😷💯💯💯
Billy Porter is the definition of "PREACH"
I really have to get your book brother
I love these men. Goddamned national treasures.
I liked lockdown too, finally I could relax. can'T say that but it s true
Hi Sir stephen
Billy needs to apoligise to all the pioneers that came before him, who he dismissed when he said he's solely responsible for the conversation on men in dresses
Also...history. I live in Italy. Men wore dresses for centuries, it's not that extraordinary
@@bettersecret1499 He seems like a delightful man though. I can stand that kind of happy ego infinitely better than the ego of say, a Donald Trump. 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.
He is obnoxious and arrogant.
I agree. David Bowie famously did interviews in the 70s in dresses.
There's also Star Trek the Next Generation were background characters both men and women wore dress like uniforms.
RuPaul sashayed so Billy could Pose.
4:12 those shoes are cute!
Those ARE nice shoes!!!!!
This is so raw and just so full of love!!! Buying the book ASAP!! Sending love to Billy - thank you for being a sunny spot in the dark
Billy is captivating!👍🏽👏🏽😊. Was his jacket ripped at the right sleeve seam?
I believe it was like a pleat so he could hug people and move freely. Sorry about my spelling
He slays like always 💖
So sad that some people don't get him shallow minds.
Love Billy ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Speak it, Girl! Yes, Billy, Yes!
Little Richard, James Brown, Prince, David Bowie, Freddy Mercury. All these men were doing what this guy was doing before he was born. Just because you think there is oppression and erasure over literally a picture on a magazine doesn’t mean it’s reality.
😂
Yeah, there is no 'oppression or erasure'......."because of Bowie".
Uh, Billy, Bowie called from 1970. He said thanks for the laugh.
Loved Billy In American Horror Story -- Apocalypse !!
Looking forward to reading his book 🥰📚
🖖🏾 ✌🏾 🥂
those are some nice shoess
Who cares who is first for a magazine cover!
