I don’t know if id consider it queerbaiting necessarily but i think straight men (or men refusing to identify their sexuality) performing for the gay male gaze can be kind of harmful in nature for several reasons. And it feels cheap in a way. 

I feel like it kinda uses queerness as a tool for clout while he keeps himself at a heteronormative distance. Not to mention straight/cis gendered men are the 1# problem starters and aggressors with gay men. 

while he might not be directly portraying himself as gay, the imagery, specifically the way he is carrying himself in this specific scene could very easily be misinterpreted as poking fun at or making a mockery of gay men 

but i will also play devils advocate and say that gay men are the ones giving him the stage to do this on, so. There is that too. 
 

I was just thinking this when I saw some of these stills. It definitely screams queerbaiting to lure in a particular demographic, but you're right it works both ways because we saw him at Coachella and there were plenty of gays there drooling over him. For me personally, I don't find him appealing as an artist and seems that he is trying a bit hard at recreating a Freddie Mercury aesthetic. Like dude just be you.
