Harry Styles found himself in a bit of hot water with Billy Porter.  Harry had posed on the cover of Vogue, in a dress, and Billy was pretty angry over all the praise Harry was receiving.  Billy said some things that he later apologized for, explaining that all he’d ever received was scorn for wearing women’s fashion, but here comes a handsome straight white guy in a dress and the whole world swoons over how brave Harry Styles is.  Billy set the record straight (pun and it stays) explaining that it wasn’t right to be mad at Harry, instead he is angry at a culture that takes trends from black queer people and then never acknowledges their contributions.

Is that true (yes, yes it is) and what is it about clothing and gender anyway?  This episode considers the history of laws around gender and clothing, drag queens, and what it means to be gender-queer – and of course at the life of one Mr. Fantastic Billy Porter (all hail!) who is all dressed up with everywhere to go.
