Billy Porter Dismisses Sesame Street Backlash


Last week openly gay entertainer Billy Porter set off a firestorm after sharing a picture of himself wearing his infamous Oscars ball gown during an upcoming appearance on the children's television show Sesame Street [click here if you missed that].

Billy shrugs off the backlash...

Billy Porter tells Page Six,
“If you don’t like it, don’t watch it.”
“Like, what about me singing with a penguin [on the show] has anything to do with what I’m doing in my bedroom?”
“The really interesting thing for me is that that’s what it’s all about when it comes to LGBTQ people — the first thing everyone wants to talk about is how we having sex. Stay out of my bedroom and you will be fine — that is none of your business.”
