Discussion: "I hope Harry Styles is hetero"

Quote:

Styles, though, is in a unique position. Not only is he saying that it's OK to be gay or bisexual by not insisting emphatically that he isn't, but by playing with pronouns and refusing to definitively address the matter, he's also saying that it's OK if people think he's gay or bisexual. A firm denial would be the standard straight approach, but Styles seems to be saying, "Maybe I am, and if so, who cares?"

Quote:

If it turns out that Styles is bisexual or gay, I'll actually be a little disappointed. Though I wouldn't lump him in the same category as celebrities who outright lie about their sexuality, I don't see how the gay, lesbian and bisexual community benefits from a gay or bisexual celebrity teasing fans when a confirmation would do so much more. Not that it's the obligation of any celebrity to base their actions on whether it benefits our community, but it's always nice when they embrace even a little responsibility.

If Styles ends up being straight, though, the implications would be practically revolutionary. At his age, following the "bro" code typically means acting as straight and narrow as possible. Justin Bieber, who is exactly one month younger than Styles, might be the perfect counterpoint. Every move he makes seems to be a conscious or subconscious bid to appear as heterosexual as possible, an aspiration many gay men can relate to. For years we've extolled the virtues of "straight acting." Even those of us who would correct someone who thought we were straight would likely be secretly pleased with being able to pass.

I get what they're saying, but I hope he's bi.

Koons

Yeah completely agree with you, hope he is bi (or gay) but do understand where they're coming from.

I wonder if we will ever get official confirmation.

CristianGsix

I hope he's bi too

I get their point tho and I somewhat agree.

Why yall hoping he's bi? It's not like you will get with him so...

And whatever he is, he doesn't owe anyone anything. Mind your business HP

Why would they wish that? Why do they care what his or anybody's sexuality is?

It sucks how this is still a thing. A big reason why so many people will never come out

I knew somebody would leave a comment like this, but it's extremely revolutionary, especially if he's bi, not gay because there are not really any male bisexual celebrities that I know of, and I think bisexual men deserve that representation. It would be huge. This is coming from an out gay man.
