Pennywise 36,079 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 People are like "he can do whatever he doesn't owe you anything" and guess what sis, we don't owe HIM anything either we can say whatever, and do whatever, including being negative about him Like, I don't care about his sexuality or whether it is queerbaiting or not at all, but that whole "not owing anything" argument is just getting old... like it doesn't mean anything at all.... So long ggd, it was nice while it lasted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, he can be bi or pan or whatever without ever having been dated a guy. I have a lot of male friends who are not "straight" but who only ever dated women because of reasons such as not being able to explore, not feeling secure enough in their sexuality, living in a homophobic/sexist society, etc. We, of all people, should not judge others about that. With that being said, queerbaiting IS a real problem and you can't dictate whether the LGBTQ+ community feels like a very public figure seemingly doing it is reprehensible. You don't have to be like "he's evil" or "he's the epitome of queer represetation" at all. You can criticize him while at the same time applauding him for him being an ally.

I, personally, believe that he doesn't care wether or not people try to label him, as long as he gets to keep that mysticism around him. Once he comes out as either queer or just straight people will lose their interest and he knows that. If what triggers your interest in an artist is their sexuality, maybe the problem comes from you darling Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

2School4Cool 6,434 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I don’t care what Harry’s sexuality is. I don’t know if he’s gay, bi, straight, and I don’t need to know because it’s none of my business. But I know that by being an advocate he makes so many people at his shows feel safe and supported and that’s all that matters.

He's not here to be your ****ing role model, you're nor here to be his ****ing confessional. If he sucks dìck then cool, if not then cool. Is it ever gonna be mine? No. Are his actions detrimental?

Trust me I don't care about Harry or his music but reading about him for the past few years I can definitely understand why people think he is doing this for clout. The main point is that a lot of people in the LGBTQ community wouldn't feel too great if they were seen as money machines. He is trying so hard to be a role model, what are you talking about lol.

ARTGOD 3,266 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I believe no one owes anyone anything about their sexuality. If someone wants to keep it to themselves and not use labels I respect it. However there’s an annoying trend of straight celebs presenting as ambiguously queer and getting representation points and gay coin while doing very little for the community. If you want to keep your sexuality private then do it, if you wanna come out then do it. Don’t stay in this limbo where you get put on a pedestal for being a queer icon while never actually suffering any of the consequences. These people get all the praise of being queer trendsetters but if straight audiences want to see them as straight they still can. If the gay money runs out they can present as straight again without anyone noticing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRedd 3,139 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Lol he’s right. As a black man, we love the support of others; however, our goal is to make it that our race doesn’t hurt or hinder us aka it shouldn’t matter. Forcing people to come out or choose a sexuality is literally cringe as hell to me May I Read You? 😎 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forcing people to come out or choose a sexuality is literally cringe as hell to me I imagine you wouldn't want a white man to say "I don't see color and people worrying about the Confederate flag is so outdated". The thing is that the issues in both circumstances need to be firstly acknowledged, and then more. We're not at a point where it doesn't matter in each circumstance. Black people and LGBT people are still being killed for being those two things. Yes, straight men can wear dresses, paint their nails, etc. But it's ignorant to be in that situation and say "it doesn't matter". The thing that irks people is that Harry being an ally is only ever a thing when marketing. He could put a taboo on the topic for interviews but doesn't. He could support the community outside of a performance or photo shoots. He could say "I'm attracted to men, women, and other gender identities" without ever saying the words gay, straight, bisexual, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
