Funny how people are quick to question Harry as if he is doing something to profit, always claiming stuff like he is not “open enough”, he is “playing with the unknown” but then turn around and celebrate Freddie Mercury as a queer icon (sure he was), but he NEVER publicly talked about being in a queer relationship or shared anything about his identity while he was alive. Everything we know came out after his death, through others. And that was his right, but why is this wrong with Harry and wasn’t with Freddie?!
Harry has said clearly that he identifies as “unlabeled” — not for image, but as an honest expression of self. His music reflects that. From “Medicine” (where he sings about being with boys and girls), to “Lights Up” (released on National Coming Out Day), to “She” (a track exploring gender and desire), his lyrics show a deep and evolving journey. He’s not performing. He’s being real.
And say that he doesn’t stand for anything?! Like…WHAAAT?!
And it’s not just about the music — Harry acts on what he believes. He’s marched in protests, donates to LGBTQ+ organizations, helps fans come out at his shows, and uses his platform to speak up for inclusion and acceptance. Treat People With Kindness isn’t just a phrase — it’s something he lives. His concerts are safe, welcoming spaces filled with pride and love.
So no — Harry is not putting on a costume. He’s not chasing attention. He’s living authentically and using his voice to uplift others.
That’s very different from someone like Benson Boone — who borrows queer-coded fashion and aesthetics, but has never publicly shown support for the LGBTQ+ community or acknowledged the cultural roots of what he’s mimicking. It’s not about policing identity — it’s about recognizing intent and action.
Harry Styles isn’t the issue. He’s part of the progress.
