So even tho Harry Styles quite literally came out on national television during his SNL episode monologue, the media is dead silent on it. They’re just quoting his script word for word and saying he kissed a man. But when it comes to actually discussing what that means there’s nothing. No discussion, no actual progression on that line of thought. Just literally quoting his script and ending it there. The natural progression of the conversation would be “Harry addressed he is not queerbaiting because he is queer”. That’s the natural conclusion of what he said. But nobody is saying that, they’re just stopping short mid sentence it feels like, to not say anything at all.
Harry’s ability to come out over and over again and still have the entire world ignore it needs to be studied.
Ok I’m not done.
It’s bonkers that every single outlet is just running this exact same story. It’s basically the same article everywhere. They say he addressed it and put in his whole script and then end the article there 💀 they don’t actually talk about it and gloss over the fact that if he says he’s not queerbaiting it means he’s queer. Which he “proved” by kissing a man IN THE SAME DAMN DIALOGUE. If this was any other celeb there would be 200 different think pieces and opinion articles about him coming out. But his image is so tightly controlled the entire media is dead silent. It’s CRAZY. And the fact that every single outlet is running essentially the same article is a telltale sign that it’s all syndicated by his team. That and the fact he brought Zoe to the after party. He may have come out, but when it comes to his image he’s still being managed the exact same way he’s always been, and that’s why he has a beard. Bc Harry Styles can kiss men on national television and wave pride flags and be referred to as bisexual in nearly every skit. But don’t worry, he has a gf. Look at them. And look at all his his ex girlfriends.

does the little one with the tight little bum know that the prince with the nice little body is in love with him?

yes man let me just do a quick promo shoot before i go in and address some queerbaiting rumours.
yes man it’s blue and green that’s the only colours i’ve got so what if they’re also the only two colours globally associated with the secret love affair i share with my exbandmate who is totally not gay for me either. let me just shrug as well so they know i can’t help it
Answer
Well, yes. I think we’ll probably never fully figure out the cognitive dissonance of it all. I can’t entirely blame people who only look at things on the surface for feeling confused. And at the same time, Harry saying “I never said I was straight” all the time, and he’s so fucking right. He’s not the one to blame for the fact that homophobia is still so deeply rooted in people.
The thing is, he could come out fifty times a year in ~subtle~ (not subtle at all) ways, and what will still stick with most people are the tabloids and whoever he’s being photographed walking next to. And he knows that. Choices are made within that reality, and I’m sure there are reasons why things stay the way they are. I’ve talked about this many times on my blog, but I do think it’s tricky for Harry to completely give up stunts if he isn’t publicly coming out with Louis. But at the end of the day, we don’t know the real reasons behind their decisions, so this is just where things are.
I created this blog to support two closeted people, and that’s something I’ll always stand by. Even when it’s confusing, even when we all have opinions about what they should or shouldn’t do. In the end, it comes down to a simple choice, which is we either support them or we don’t.
