How Billy Porter’s red carpet statements speak for LGBTQ+ rights, turn heads and lead fashion-forward at the same time
From overcoming homophobia to denouncing US President Donald Trump’s anti-LGBTQ+ policies, Porter has long been a source of inspiration for the LGBTQ+ community
Billy Porter has built a formidable career in music, television and theatre. His extensive experience in Broadway, which has defined his acting prowess, is as long as the trains of the gowns that he wears on the red carpet.
But perhaps viewers know the 50-year-old better as Pray Tell in the hit television show Pose, a resident emcee, fashion designer and father figure, and a mentor to young children and members of the LGBTQ+ community in the 80s. Porter’s role in the show made history as the first openly gay black man to win an Emmy for outstanding lead actor in a drama. This achievement catapulted him to mainstream fame, as well as establishing him as an LGBTQ+ icon.
And now he could launch his own fashion line, watch for more.
