AceShowbiz - Billy Porter has responded to Pastor Troy's rant which was directed to Lil Nas X. When asked about Troy's homophobic post in which he criticized Nas X's Grammy outfit, the "Pose" star didn't seem to be surprised by the hate.
When TMZ caught up with the Tony-award winning star on Thursday, January 30, Billy weighed in on the situation. "I don't think anything about it," the actor, who was clad in all-black outfit that day, said to the reporter.
Billie, however, admitted that hip-hop wasn't exactly receptive when it comes to LGBTQ+ community. "There's a lot of homophobia in hip-hop," he claimed. As for the way to change their mind, Billy shared, "I don't know. I'm doing it by being who I am." Before going away, he shared that he was "totally" proud of the "Old Town Road" rapper and said that he looked "fabulous" in his outfit.
