In his ongoing critique of Vogue’s decision, Porter has expressed his belief that the fashion industry’s acceptance of him is merely obligatory. He has argued that his own contributions to the conversation surrounding non-binary fashion were overshadowed when the magazine featured Harry Styles, a straight white man, wearing a dress on its cover for the first time.
Porter clarified that his criticism is not directed at Styles personally, but rather at the deeper issues of politics, oppression, and erasure of people of color within the fashion industry. He emphasized the need for a more nuanced conversation that goes beyond surface-level representation.
During an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Porter further unpacked his perspective, expressing a willingness to engage in meaningful discourse without succumbing to the pitfalls of internet cancel culture. He firmly expressed that his life and humanity cannot be reduced to sound bites on social media.
In a lighthearted note, Porter apologized to Harry Styles, asserting that his critique was not intended to harm and expressing his appreciation for Styles’ appeal as a gay man.
