Future Lovers 6,618 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Once again, he doesn’t owe anyone a thing. He is allowed to dress and present how he wants, live how he wants, and be who he wants. His sexuality keeps getting brought up to him in interviews because these publications know that it’s a hot topic. Every time he is asked, he gives the same answer and that it’s something he doesn’t want to publicly declare one way or another. AND THAT’S OKAY. If he is straight and wants to wear a dress, FINE. The longer the gay community gatekeeps that, the longer it’ll take for it to get normalized. The longer the gay community gatekeeps men embracing femininity, the longer it takes to get it normalized. Fighting for so many years for gay cultural touchstones to be normal and embraced by everyone only to then attack and bully when someone who, as far as we know, is outside the community does embrace and support is counterproductive to everything that has gone into fighting to be taken seriously. It’s like you’d rather him be a raging homophobe. As long as no one’s getting hurt in the process (and no one is!!!) let people do what they want, it isn’t hard.

I think this is clearly a sign that the world needs to wake up and stop associating mannerisms/clothing/hobbies, with sexuality. He makes a point to AVOID talking about his sexuality, but because he dresses flamboyantly, all everyone can talk about his him being bisexual. Same with Shawn Mendez. He clearly HATES talking about his sexuality, but is said to be gay based on his mannerisms. If anything, I applaud Harry for not discussing his sexuality. If he wants to dress flamboyantly, let him do it. The world needs more straight people who feel comfortable exploring their likes/dislikes, and not feeling like they will be labelled something every time they step outside their gender norm. I do get what people are saying, but if we want to stomp out toxic masculinity, let’s stop calling people gay whenever someone tries to explore themselves and step outside the male norm.

Guest Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Why are you guys so angry about him not disclosing his sexuality? Your life will change? Those of you asking to be vocal about anybody's sexuality are not making any favor to the comunity and normalization. It's getting annoying...

Guest Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 It's weird cus I can understand people being tired of "queerbaiting" and that any famous person with a huge platform should talk about their sexuality when it differs from "straightness" because it brings more dicussion and acceptance, makes it more "normal" and yet it's HIS sexuality. Just like religion, it's best to keep it to yourself. You don't go to work and demand someone to disclose their sexuality, or ask someone if they ever gave birth, if they ever had s**, if they are virgins, if they are asexual, if they ever kissed, if they ever went to a gynecologist. So no. Harry can say anything he wants, and he can hide it until his death all he wants, it's his prerogative Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrawberryBlond 14,422 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 This thread was posted 3 hours ago and its already 5 pages in, which says a lot. The overbearing fascination into Harry's sexuality is getting quite concerning at this point. Do you really think Harry coming out would end homophobia forever? There have been many gay celebrities over the years and its never changed legislation, so far as I can see. Being LGBT is more accepted now but I think gay celebrities have had not much to do with with it. And you're hardly going to be moving in similar circles to Harry to be in with a chance with him. So, why does his sexuality affect you? Your life will literally be exactly the same if he came out tomorrow. This reminds me of how for decades, crazy fangirls would have disturbing hatred for any male celebrity who had a girlfriend, as if his dating life affected them in any way or they would have ever had a chance to date him anyway. It just sounds like the same thing now but only for sexual orientation. You have no right to hound someone to give up their identity publicly. An identity is a personal thing. Unsurprisingly, not everyone is comfortable with publicly disclosing details of their personal life. Provided that you're an adult and are exploring in consensual arrangements that are safe and respectful, what you want to do with your body, mind and soul is none of anybody else's business. Let people be comfortable with releasing information that feels right with them. I've known someone who came out as bi first and then later came out as gay, which is embarrassing enough but imagine having to go through that on the world stage? Normal people are held to what they say, celebrities even more so and if he changes his mind, backtracks in any way or officially claims to be straight and is then papped with a guy, the backlash will be brutal. Sexuality is a very personal thing, let people explore it and be comfortable with it without feeling like they have to state every update on it. And people are more focused on their own sexuality than anyone else's anyway. On 8/22/2022 at 2:14 PM, Nycboy said: I would love to ask Harry: What is so inherently BAD about discussing sexuality? I’d appreciate him way more if he addressed the criticism directly and offered his argument as to why it’s important for him to stay quiet on the subject. HELP ME UNDERSTAND YOU HARRY. We live in an age of sex positivity. Dismissing sex as a topic simply because it’s sex sounds…puritanical. Expand Because most people don't want the world to know what they choose to do with their private parts, to put it mildly. Once people know, they start imagining it. You get looked at differently. You get treated differently. Your dating chances can alter significantly. This is why, as a straight but bi-curious woman that I've only opened up about any of this to a very small selection of people and somewhere like GGD, anywhere that I know understands. But I know that if I told family, they'd have this question mark over me forevermore. They'll maybe now be wondering if this is why I've never dated anyone or never discussed being attracted to anyone (not the case but I can see why people assume that) or if this is a prelude to coming out as lesbian later on. Seeing as I only intend to be involved with men and view women as more a fun experiment, there's no reason why I need to come out to this extent. I'll only do so if I decide to be with a woman one day, which I can't see happening. So, if it's unlikely to ever be a possibility, why rock the boat? Not wanting to talk about sex doesn't mean you're puritanical, just private. Not every situation is one in which you want to talk about sex. Surely forcing everyone to say, do and believe in the same way is more puritanical? On 8/22/2022 at 2:43 PM, Bolkins said: Well, it’s 2022. He may not want to be labelled, but we actually have a label for people who feel that way sooo Expand Then that's an issue. There's far too many negative labels about now and sometimes they're given to people who are just misunderstood. Then that negative label sticks forevermore. Positive labelling is one thing. Negative labelling is a whole different kettle of fish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis 8,391 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 This level of queer bait should be illegal. People definitely have the right to keep their sexuality private.
