TV personality <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities">Billy Porter</a> recently elaborated on his thoughts about the highly publicized 2020 issue of Vogue featuring musician <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/harry-styles">Harry Styles</a> modeling a Gucci gown. 
Porter, 53, said he wasn’t pleased that Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour chose to showcase Styles, a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/lgbtq">straight</a> white man, as the magazine&#8217;s first male solo cover model for the December 2020 issue, even if he was cross-dressing at the time.
“It doesn’t feel good to me. You’re using my community — or your people are using my community — to elevate you. You haven’t had to sacrifice anything,” Porter said of Styles during a recent <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/music/interviews/billy-porter-interview-harry-styles-vogue/">interview</a> with The Telegraph.
The “Pose” star recalled an interview he did with Wintour several months before the cover debuted. &#8220;That b**** said to me at the end, ‘How can we do better?’ And I was so taken off guard that I didn’t say what I should have said,” Porter said.
&#8220;Use your power as Vogue to uplift the voices of the leaders of this de-gendering of fashion movement,&#8221; the actor continued. &#8220;Six months later, Harry Styles is the first man on the cover.”

Porter went on to say he’s not angry with Styles, but is upset with Vogue&#8217;s “gatekeepers.”
“It’s not Harry Styles’ fault that he happens to be white and cute and straight and fit into the infrastructure that way … I call out the gatekeepers,” Porter said.
The “Cinderella” alum complained about the same Vogue cover before. In October 2021, he made his feelings known during an <a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/pose-star-billy-porter-did-i-ever-think-id-be-this-successful-no-because-im-gay-k59wszd5p">interview</a> with The Sunday Times. &#8220;I feel like the fashion industry has accepted me because they have to. I created the conversation [about nonbinary fashion] and yet Vogue still put Harry Styles, a straight white man, in a dress on their cover for the first time,&#8221; Porter said. 
&#8220;I was the first one doing it and now everybody is doing it,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;I&#8217;m not dragging Harry Styles, but… He doesn&#8217;t care, he&#8217;s just doing it because it&#8217;s the thing to do. This is politics for me. This is my life.&#8221;
After receiving criticism, Porter expanded on his comments during an appearance on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.”
&#8220;It is about the systems of oppression and erasure of people of color who contribute to the culture,&#8221; he said at the time. &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry, Harry. I didn&#8217;t mean no harm. I&#8217;m a gay man. We like Harry. He&#8217;s cute.&#8221;
