Criticism even came from a Republican state senator from Arkansas, Jason Rapert, who wrote: “Do you approve of your taxpayer dollars being used to promote the radical LGBTQ agenda?”

“If you don’t like it, don’t watch it,” he told Page Six, saying he finds it odd that people would compare the dress to “perverted demon sex.”

“Like, what about me singing with a penguin [on Sesame Street] 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,” Billy clapped back.

“Stay out of my bedroom and you will be fine. That is none of your business,” he added.

Billy also recently opened up in the 2020 LGBTQ State of the Unionhere’s what he said.
