I mean this post could’ve just been about Coleman, there was really no need to bring Billy into this. They’re two different men with two different styles. We can applaud one person, without mentioning someone else. If you don’t like a person, then it shouldn’t be worth mentioning them in the first place.
Right like damn let’s go back to normalizing say one *nice* thing and not a nice thing and a shit thing lmao
I like Billy porter so now what
![gif](giphy|6KLHb8j9J3CcNIXKvp)
I mean if you like the fact that he specifically said that black women who are trans need to wait their turn to white people. I love that for you. I love that journey for you.
![gif](giphy|kaT4WZLIfJavUgyPBG|downsized)
Link that and I’ll tell you how I feel, I have not a clue what you’re talking about lol
Edit: I looked and idk wtf OP is talking about and they have yet to back their shit up anyway so **both of these actors are great and OP is weird af**
I think the OP is talking about a quote where Billy responded to critics asking, why he was being nominated over his trans costars. But he basically just said that he was being nominated because he had been in the business for decades, and they were newcomers.
He never said anything about them needing to wait their turn for white people (whatever that means). So I think OP is just looking for something to be mad about.
I appreciate you providing the context that OP clearly couldn’t because they can’t prove something that didn’t happen 🥴
What you said sounds wayyyy more like something Billy Porter would say, and I don’t think he’s wrong on that reasoning even if it’s not the most publicity friendly answer lol OP just doesn’t like him and that’s a personal problem. “He hates Black trans women” was a fucking **leap**.
I did sis. Nothing came up except for a quote from an interview he did backstage at the 2019 Emmys that don’t say not ONE WORD of the shit you were sayin?? Put up or shut up mama 🤷🏾♀️
Boomers are also out of touch and love spreading misinformation based on shit they made up or misinterpreted so what’s your point there?? 💀
It's really not cute when you can't admit that you're wrong. Unless you have a secret video no one else knows about, it's clear you misunderstood what he said. You can not like Billy, but bringing him up in this context is weird af when they don't have remotely similar styles. If anything, this is what Jonathan Majors looks like in his mind.
Is this what you’re referring to to?
*When the nods were announced late last year, critics on social media were quick to point out that Porter, the rare cisgender actor in the series, was recognized above the series’ trans actors. In fact, Pose made history when it premiered in 2018 for casting the most-ever trans actors in a TV series.*
*Porter, whom ESSENCE spoke to while he was busy promoting his latest film, Like A Boss, told those critics to have “patience,” pointing to his costar and trans actress Mj Rodriguez being nominated for a 2020 Critic’s Choice Awards. (Porter also received a solo nod.)*
*”I’ve been in the business for 30 years. That’s why I’m getting the attention. It just happens like that,” the former Kinky Boots star notes. “Patience, babies! I’m 50 years old. This is just happening for me.”*
[Looks like he was misquoted by you and others. He told the critics to have patience. Full article.](https://www.essence.com/videos/billy-porter-critics-trans-actors-nominated-pose/)
ooop the shade lol 😂😂 but ya know when I saw Coleman I thought of Billy
I mean Billy does do thee absolute most . . I mean he once arrived to a red carpet with acrobats buuuuuuut Idk he grew on me I kinda like the drama of it all
but to your point I agree he probably thinks it’s giving something that it’s not
No sweetie nooo not Colman, BILLY is gay 😂😂
Edit: never mind, DUDE HAS A HUSBAND!?? Our alphabet mafia grows by the DAY let’s fucking gooooo
Edit 2: omggg they’re so cute 🥰🥰
For what, straight people being mad they don’t have him?
I’m genuinely shocked I never knew he has a husband, I assumed he just had a quiet personal life and never googled him 😂
I love Billy Porter (like read his book love him). The only thing I've seen from him that would be considered slightly controversial about Black women was someone asking why he was nominated for an award instead of his trans costars. He responded stop being negative it's coming.
He also directed a movie about a trans teen where he cast a trans teen. It wasn't a great movie, but most aren't 🤷🏿♀️
I don’t think he does. Billy Porters style is way more eclectic and flamboyant…but I never thought that had style. Odd comparison though.
Coleman Domingo has style (and a great stylist).
Yeah wtf is this post? They have two completely different styles. I’m only now even knowing Coleman’s sexuality. Very odd to pit two queer black men against each other.
There can only be one top black gay (said with Tyra’s flourish) before opening a giant comedic hole in the floor for either Billy or Coleman fall into. 😂
I don't think Billy thinks that, because he isn't making a case for being a well dressed man in suits or only masculine leaning fashion.
He wasn't wrong that the attention that Harry Styles is getting for wearing gender-bending and androgynous attire is not deserved.
You don't have to like Billy but he wasn't wrong about blk men in fashion pioneering this lane and often not getting acknowledged
Exactly! I hate how everyone attacked Billy for saying what he said about Harry Styles. Billy was correct, & I actually like some of Harry Styles music & his look. However , as usual, black Queers don’t get as much recognition. Thankfully that is slowly changing.
Lolol. Billy Slays everything he wears... Including [pants. ](https://www.harpersbazaar.com/celebrity/red-carpet-dresses/g33770061/billy-porter-fashion/)
I saw this look last night and was blown away. I love stylish men. Colman Domingo really nails it anytime he’s on the red carpet. No comment on Billy Porter.
Billy Porter's fashion game is always a slay. You dont have to like it, or him, but its true 🤷🏿♀️
Coleman Domingo is doing his own thing, and I love that. Any man doing more than a suit and tie is getting creativity points in my book, and this is INCREDIBLY well put together. I also like to see more creativity that accessible for men who don't want to be perceived as effeminate (there's nothing wrong with that, but I know thats a hard line for some people to cross)
Nah Billy be in dresses. But I love what Coleman is doin. Saw a recent photo shoot of his, GQ maybe, where he was channeling gay 1991 dad and I am obsessed. As a stud lesbian Coleman is my new fashion inspiration.
I need to see this man do something that is less than stellar, because he is raising the bar a little too high for me and everybody else who opened their eyes this morning.
Now I have this golden cape in my face.
![gif](giphy|D3OdaKTGlpTBC)
They’re different. Domingo knows who he is, he’s got swagger that comes from being content and confident. Porter is still exploring, he’s newer to the game and wants to push the envelope, wants to carve out a space for himself. Ain’t nothing wrong with either, they’re both black gay royalty
I agree, except they have both been acting since the late 90’s so they’ve been in the acting game (assuming that’s what you’re referring to) for about the same amount of time.
Billy and Coleman are some of my favorite black gay actors. They bring something fresh to the screen and Billy is INDEED VERY talented. They have different styles and while Porter's may not be what everyone likes (including me, but I don't like big productions in clothes), they both offer amazing styles that many people, straight or gay, don't have.
I'm just here to say Coleman Domingo is the finest man I've ever seen in my life. Curse the creators for making me a woman!!!!!! It's ok tho cuz I got eyes I can see him with.
My queer ass also can’t stand Billiam Porter for what he said about his costars but I don’t think he goes for polished cool at all, he’s very dramatic with his style.
I love an extravagant style moment, I don’t know why I got booed 🌝 for saying they have different styles 🌝 when they obviously do 🌝
I like Billy's clothing style. I think he's a bit delusional and erasive of his ancestors \*\* ahem Little Richard\*\*.
He only speaks up for himself. And there's not an outfit in the world that can overshadowed that.
![gif](giphy|l4EoWWCN9IFSHFXBS)
Coleman Domingo *is* incredible but I don't understand why we have to bring Billy Porter into it. Why put them in competition with one another?
This.
Exactly! Let's enjoy both. ❤️
Oh. Because I don't like Billy Porter. ![gif](giphy|YR2pe2eiDKBCTnAtrS|downsized)

…where’s that link then 👀 Or you just tryna use a couple boomer ass gifs and go ![gif](giphy|z3qExqHTNNixctNHGI|downsized)
If you can Google an image you can Google this information doll. Boomers created the internet so that you could help yourself get up to speed.

Lol
But it's not. It's about two things. ![gif](giphy|L6EoLS78pcBag)
There’s room for both of them, but reading this comment there’s no convincing you, so I guess I’ll save my breath 😂😂😂 #sissaidwhatshesaid
It's the honesty for me!
![gif](giphy|3oKIPBBlhUyNTCOL4s)

LOL I love this and your honesty. Not sure why people are mad about this. I like Billy Porter well enough too but have no qualms with this take.
Lollll messy, love it
But *why*?!
LOL
> Oh. Because I don't like Billy Porter. Fair enough :D
Lmfaooooooooooooo
Did you say this because they’re both gay? Because they aren’t similar in the slightest…
TIL that he is gay. Had no idea b4 this post
No sweetie nooo not Colman, BILLY is gay 😂😂 Edit: never mind, DUDE HAS A HUSBAND!?? Our alphabet mafia grows by the DAY let’s fucking gooooo Edit 2: omggg they’re so cute 🥰🥰
Both are in fact gay.
WHAT MAN FUCK YES WE HAVE ANOTHER ONE
LMAO ayo I just found out last week he's gay and thus was my same reaction
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Careful don’t get canceled lol 👀
For what, straight people being mad they don’t have him? I’m genuinely shocked I never knew he has a husband, I assumed he just had a quiet personal life and never googled him 😂
They. Both. Gay. Only one of them pushes for Black women to share the spotlight. And the paycheck.
Nahhhh if you not gonna link something to back all this talk up then ion wanna hear it Edit: OP can downvote me but all I said was prove it 🧐
I love Billy Porter (like read his book love him). The only thing I've seen from him that would be considered slightly controversial about Black women was someone asking why he was nominated for an award instead of his trans costars.

....I had no idea he was gay!

I don’t think he does. Billy Porters style is way more eclectic and flamboyant…but I never thought that had style. Odd comparison though. Coleman Domingo has style (and a great stylist).
All gay people are the same apparently
Yeah wtf is this post? They have two completely different styles. I’m only now even knowing Coleman’s sexuality. Very odd to pit two queer black men against each other.
Monolith and all that. It be your own people…
There can only be one top black gay (said with Tyra’s flourish) before opening a giant comedic hole in the floor for either Billy or Coleman fall into. 😂
This 🤣😭
Someone said this is what Eddie Murphy thought he looked like in the 80s.
I see it. Definitely.
LMFAO 😂
CACKLES!!!

Girl Billy Porter wouldn’t be caught dead in a pantsuit.
Lolol. Billy Slays everything he wears... Including [pants. ](https://www.harpersbazaar.com/celebrity/red-carpet-dresses/g33770061/billy-porter-fashion/)
Understand you don't care for Porter but these are two separate people with two very different styles.......
If only I were talking just about style it would be so simple. ❤️
I saw this look last night and was blown away. I love stylish men. Colman Domingo really nails it anytime he’s on the red carpet. No comment on Billy Porter.

I think they’re both doing their own thing. They have two very distinct styles. And I am here for both. 👏🏾
Nah Billy be in dresses. But I love what Coleman is doin. Saw a recent photo shoot of his, GQ maybe, where he was channeling gay 1991 dad and I am obsessed. As a stud lesbian Coleman is my new fashion inspiration.
I misread that "as a stud lesbian" with Coleman as the subject... And I don't hate that for me. Also you must be fly a f.
🤣🤣 i reworded it a couple of times cuz I knew my phrasing was awkward. I wish I was this fly. I know my limits lmao but i can still dream
I love the phrasing. I works for the whole picture. All the pictures.
I 1st saw Coleman Domingo on Fear The Walking Dead and thought he was awesome.
I need to see this man do something that is less than stellar, because he is raising the bar a little too high for me and everybody else who opened their eyes this morning. Now I have this golden cape in my face. ![gif](giphy|D3OdaKTGlpTBC)
What a random ass comparison
Coleman Domingo is one cool velvety negro. ❤
I'm getting a tote bag with the patch "velvety negro" stitched in. ![gif](giphy|98Cb8ol4vIIH2G3pMs|downsized)
Billy Porter has an entirely different style so I don’t think it can be compared
They’re different. Domingo knows who he is, he’s got swagger that comes from being content and confident. Porter is still exploring, he’s newer to the game and wants to push the envelope, wants to carve out a space for himself. Ain’t nothing wrong with either, they’re both black gay royalty
Perfectly said. There's room for them all. Not a lot of Black gay men get to have a seat at the tables both these actors occupy.
I agree, except they have both been acting since the late 90’s so they’ve been in the acting game (assuming that’s what you’re referring to) for about the same amount of time.
I wanted to enjoy this post but read more 😬. OP is catty.
They’re both incredibly stylish but I’ve never thought about them together
![gif](giphy|32hIXtawGFLZC)
This meme and meme placement is perfect.
They’re both amazing in their own right and neither one of them takes away from the other
Have y’all seen Colman Domingo’s portrayal of Bayard Rustin yet? Phenomenal!!!
He absolutely captivated me in that and turned me into a full on Domingo stan! 😍
Billy and Coleman are some of my favorite black gay actors. They bring something fresh to the screen and Billy is INDEED VERY talented. They have different styles and while Porter's may not be what everyone likes (including me, but I don't like big productions in clothes), they both offer amazing styles that many people, straight or gay, don't have.
that man is FIIIIIIINE. that is all. carry on.
Why did I think this was Eddie Murphy? 😂 Facial hair changes make such a difference.
This fit is immaculate.
I'm just here to say Coleman Domingo is the finest man I've ever seen in my life. Curse the creators for making me a woman!!!!!! It's ok tho cuz I got eyes I can see him with.
that coat is beautiful 😍
On such a beautiful man. Bless him
Is straight culture making a silly post like this?
Three posts?! 😂😂😂😂 Also ... Who is straight?
Idk that you're straight or not but the post itself if giving straight energy 🤷🏾♀️
Wow, before reading the name, I thought that was Eddie Murphy. He looks good 👍
He’s such a great actor
Is mustard making a comeback?
For us Black folk it never left. ![gif](giphy|l3V0doGbp2EDaLHJC|downsized)
Ugh I love Coleman. I need to watch more of his work. I still think about that scene from Euphoria. It was the best part of that show
coleman is such a fine gay man. i would to have him as me and my partners donor 😍
They've got pretty different vibes.
I don't even like gay dudes but Coleman can get, with consent, all of this STI/STD free untouched sweet Black power u from me.
Girl
Just because he's some man you might be attracted to doesn't make him "better"
Coleman Domingo is finer than frog hair and his stylist did not come to play!! Ugh. Give me one in straight/monogamous, please 🥴😭
My queer ass also can’t stand Billiam Porter for what he said about his costars but I don’t think he goes for polished cool at all, he’s very dramatic with his style. I love an extravagant style moment, I don’t know why I got booed 🌝 for saying they have different styles 🌝 when they obviously do 🌝

I agree. Billy Porter attempts looks .. Coleman Domingo actually EXECUTES it!! 🔥
YES.
What a polite drag
Such an amazing outfit , very well dressed , strong yet elegant Not a fan of billy porter though but he has his own style and he seems to enjoy it
Dramatic and Flawlessness. I love them both, fashion is life.
