TL;DR Summary

Billy Porter expresses ongoing frustration with Vogue's decision to feature Harry Styles as the first man to wear a dress on the magazine's cover, suggesting that Styles was chosen because he is "white" and "straight." Porter, who claims to have sparked the conversation around gender-fluid fashion, criticized the use of his community to elevate Styles without any sacrifice on his part. Porter also revealed a conversation with Anna Wintour, Editor-in-Chief of Vogue, where he missed the opportunity to urge her to use Vogue's power to uplift leaders in the de-gendering of fashion movement within the LGBTQ+ community.
