Billy Porter delivered a powerful message at the 2019 Tony Awards Sunday, rocking a custom-made gown crafted from the stage curtain of “Kinky Boots” that included a subtle yet striking nod to women’s rights.

Porter, who rocked instantly iconic looks at the Golden Globes, the Oscars and the Met Gala earlier this year, said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter that the train of the gown features a pattern in the shape of uterus.

“I thought it was awesome because women’s rights are under attack right now. I’m an advocate for all who are disenfranchised,” he said. “None of us are free until we’re all free!” ...

That is so gay.
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

I was actually going to watch the Tonys this year.  But on the way I got side tracked by Celebrity Family Feud and Pyramid.

Devine intervention perhaps?
