On The Late Show, Porter admitted he was surprised his comments blew up the way they did when there are so many other things that are more "important on this earth to be talking about," and issued an official apology to Styles.

"Harry Styles, I apologize to you for having your name in my mouth. It's not about you. The conversation is not about you," said Porter.

"The conversation is actually deeper than that. It is about the systems of oppression and erasure of people of color who contribute to the culture. Now, that's a lot to unpack. I'm willing to unpack it, sans the dragging and cancel culture of the internet, because I do not now, nor will ever, adjudicate my life or humanity in sound bites on social media. So when you're ready to have the real conversation, call a bitch. OK? I'm ready to have it!

Porter then concluded his statement on a lighter note, being his typical humorous self, stating, "I'm sorry, Harry. I didn't mean no harm. I'm a gay man. We like Harry, he's cute!"

Oh no… that sounds more like a bitter apology to me :poot: 

 He should apologized for saying he is the first one to ever done it instead  :partysick:

Good for him. His first comment was weird, acting like he created the whole conversation about men in dresses, so it's good that he's taking it back

The most important part of the apology is the content between what you decided to bold.

Gays lives for the dramas :billie:

The conversation is actually deeper than that.

With that being said, why did he add this?

Why does he feel like he needs to have a conversation with Harry, and about what exactly?

I think he wants conversation with the whole society about the systems of oppression and erasure of people of color who contribute to the culture, not with Harry.

I'm sorry but he's not wrong. I'm sick and tired of the media treating queer identity as some fashion trend. When straights do this, it is appropriation, no different than cultural appropriation.

I can understand that larger conversation needing to happen. I just don’t get why this involved harry in the first place, or how he’s potentially contributing to the erasure of people of color because he…dresses fem on occasion…

... :toofunny: 

The more he craps on, the more he outs himself as nothing more than another ‘look at me’ gay. Honestly.

It's not Harry's fault though

Billy dear…. ain’t you trying to have the conversation, that you “started”? Why are you surprised the comment took off? :air:

But this was cool of him to clear the air. I don’t think he had any ill will toward Harry specifically. His original comments did seem self aggrandizing though. :coffee:
