Billy Porter: I was 49 years old when I shot that. And being a person whose masculinity has been in question since the moment I could comprehend thought...I was never masculine enough to be the object of anybody's affection in anything ever, so I didn't know how to engage that way.
And it really freaked me out.Billy Porter: Everybody told me that my queerness was my liability and I would never have mainstream crossover success unless I butched it up.
My masculinity was always in question so, I win! I did it anyway, being myself. And I hope that gives inspiration to other people to be themselves as well.
That's the only thing we got.Billy Porter: I would have to say the Oscars tuxedo dress is my favorite because it is the moment that.
