Why is it that whenever Harry makes the news, Google searches for sexuality peak? No one should feel forced to label themselves, argues GeorgiaAspinall
This morning, Harry Styles was a trending topic on Google. The singer performed a slew of hits at Radio 1’s Big Weekend in Coventry last night, from One Direction classics to new singles from his latest album,. Then, this morning, he announced his partnership with gun safety organisation Everytown, following the devastating Texas school shooting last week, to which he is donating $1million . It’s no wonder he’s making the news then… except it's not this that people seem to be interested in.
. ‘It's not like I'm sitting on an answer, and protecting it, and holding it back,’ he said. ‘It's not a case of: I'm not telling you cos I don't want to tell you. It's not: ooh this is mine and it's not yours. It's: who cares? Does that make sense? It's just: who cares… Am I sprinkling in nuggets of sexual ambiguity to try and be more interesting? No.’, he reiterated his stance on not using labels publicly.
Like Harry, I have some people in my life that would love to know either way. Don’t get me wrong, it’s come up in conversation naturally enough times that many already do. But from time to time I’ll field subtle questions from family members. Maybe a joke about which way I swing with the intention for me to confirm or deny. And on those occasions I never do.
He does all of this while still refusing to declare his sexuality – and for those like me who do the same, that reiterates that we needn't bow to pressure to check a certain box if we don’t feel comfortable doing so... or simply don't want to. Because, make no mistake, it is still dangerous to be LGBTQ+ in today’s society. In December last year, homophobic and transphobic hate crimes reached.
