Bisexual actor Nico Tortorella interviewed gay designer Christian Siriano on the latest episode of ????ℙ????ℂ???? ????????????????????????ℕ ????ℍ???? ????ℍ???????????????? on Instagram. Tortorella is married to Bethany C. Meyers (whom they had been dating for 11 years) and in a polyamorous relationship.

Siriano made headlines recently when he devoted his NYC design and faculties to make 75,000 usable face masks that were sorely lacking at the beginning of the Coronavirus pandemic. According to The Hill, “During a March press conference, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) begged local businesses to find a way to produce face masks. “If you can make them, we will give you the funding to do it,” Cuomo pleaded to locals. “I’m asking businesses to get creative.” Fashion designer Christian Siriano answered the call by turning his Manhattan couture atelier into an assembly line for the all-too-critical face masks needed to care for coronavirus patients. Over the past two months, Siriano and his team of seamstresses have distributed thousands of masks to health care workers. Now, as governors across the country cautiously reopen and hospitals brace for a second wave of infected patients, demand for Siriano’s masks looks unlikely to subside anytime soon.”

Tortorella praises Siriano and talks about the importance if using your celebrity  platforms to make the world better.
