Harry Styles Responds to Questions Regarding His Sexuality
Harry Styles recently opened up and responded to questions regarding his sexuality. The former One Direction member and singer has been questioned before about his sexual orientation, but still refuses to divulge.
The 25-year-old British heartthrob and former One Direction member has been linked with some of the most beautiful women in Hollywood. He's dated Taylor Swift, Kendall Jenner, and a whole slew of Victoria's Secret Models. Though his dating history says that he's a heterosexual rockstar, his sense of style, which could be described to be non-binary and androgynous, has thrown fans for a loop. As the musician just released his new album, Fine Line, he's embracing his gender-bending aesthetic and is wearing what he wants - just as any good British rockstar should do.
Styles recently took the time to speak out about his sexuality in an interview with The Guardian. The former boy bander had been accused of teasing tabloids about his sexuality to make himself seem more interesting when it came to interviews. During the interview that occurred on December 14th, the British rock-n'-roller was directly asked if he was bisexual due to his choice in clothing. His reply was vague, saying, "It’s not like I’m sitting on an answer, and protecting it, and holding it back. It’s not a case of: I’m not telling you because I don’t want to tell you. It’s not: ooh this is mine and it’s not yours,” he said. “It’s: who cares? Does that make sense? It’s just: who cares?"
Styles had been known for his rather flamboyant style; an example being his outfit from the Met Gala that took place in New York City this past May. The singer arrived in a sheer, a black blouse with a pearl earring adorning his ear. Styles told The Guardian that what a person decides to wear should not dictate their sexuality. Fashion items should not have the stigma of "what women wear or what men wear," but rather what "looks cool" to him. He continued, "Am I sprinkling in nuggets of sexual ambiguity to try and be more interesting? No." Styles revealed, "I tend to make decisions in terms of collaborators I want to work with. I want things to look a certain way. Not because it makes me look gay, or it makes me look straight, or it makes me look bisexual, but because I think it looks cool." He then revealed what he thinks sexuality is to him, saying, "And more than that, I dunno, I just think sexuality’s something that’s fun. Honestly? I can’t say I’ve given it any more thought than that."
The singer is adamant about promoting self-acceptance after he experienced a deep reflection of himself and his views. The idea of not needing to answer to anyone’s social stigmas was freeing to the former One Direction star and he would like others to have the same emotion. Styles related blurring the line of fashion to blurring the line of music genres, saying the two relate and help him to coexist with one another. So, when it comes to Styles sexuality, he continues to play coy about it. However, everyone can accept that he's an advocate for the LGBTQ+ community, a fighter for freedom, but most of all he's a rockstar who makes the girls swoon in whatever he decides to wear.
