Throughout his solo career, Harry Styles has sparked online debates about “queerbaiting” for remaining mum on his sexuality. Here's what he has to say.

While some fans emphatically believe the “As It Was” singer doesn't owe anyone an explanation and deserves to have his privacy respected, others have criticised Styles for [profiting off queer culture while keeping himself separated from the community](https://twitter.com/christidavinci/status/1519458457719554051?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1519458457719554051%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=about%3Asrcdoc), particularly when it comes to his dating history and his beauty brand, [Pleasing](https://www.glamour.com/story/what-we-can-expect-from-harry-styles-beauty-brand-pleasing).

Harry Styles has said his forthcoming film 'My Policeman' directed by Michael Grandage will feature "tender and loving" gay sex scenes.
“I’m always writing,” he said, after releasing his third album ‘Harry’s House’ earlier this year. Discussing the sex scenes in particular, Styles added: “So much of gay sex in film is two guys going at it, and it kind of removes the tenderness from it. “I think everyone, including myself, has [their] own journey with figuring out sexuality and getting more comfortable with it,” Styles said while discussing the film in an interview with

[Eternals star seems to confirm that a sequel is happening](https://www.digitalspy.com/movies/a40810668/marvel-eternals-patton-oswalt-spoiled-sequel-announcement/)
The pop singer got candid in the new interview, in which he also revealed whether he's open to having kids.
"I think there'll be a time again when I'll crave it." "I've never talked about my life away from work publicly and found that it's benefited me positively," he said. "The camera operator followed him as he paced around the stage like a kind of wild animal," she added. He was so fully in the moment, he began screaming the lines to the crowd, in this primal roar, that was way more intense than anything we expected from the scene." "It's not like, 'This is a gay story about these guys being gay,'" he added. Styles came out with his first solo single, "Sign of the Times," from his self-titled album in 2017 after the band went on an indefinite hiatus the previous year.
The music megastar has two movies coming out in 2022, with thriller Don't Worry Darling and period drama My Policeman.

After the Rolling Stone UK magazine named Harry Styles the "new King of Pop" on its cover, Michael Jackson's fans had something to say about it.
Ohio-based journalist Alexis Oatman asked "Did Rolling Stone really call Harry Styles the 'new' King of Pop?" "They would never do this to Elvis and crown someone the new King of Rock & Roll, especially a black artist. cuz the current king of pop is black, meaning that's who you're 'competing' with. "The title IS retired. "There is no new King of Pop. The "Watermelon Sugar" singer stands on the front cover shirtless wearing a white furry coat, and holding a birthday cake with candles lit.
Harry Styles has opened up on the speculations about his sexuality and the accusations of queerbaiting in his recent Rolling Stone cover.
During this global COVID pandemic, we like many other organisations have been impacted greatly in the way we can do business and produce. The film is based on a novel of the same name about a policeman (Styles) who falls in love with museum curator Patrick. Styles has rarely spoken about his sexuality over the years. Styles talked about how his role in the film has also been a part of his journey to figuring out his sexuality: “I think everyone, including myself, has your own journey with figuring out sexuality and getting more comfortable with it.” I’ll go to shops sometimes, and I just find myself looking at the women’s clothes thinking they’re amazing.” “I don’t feel like it’s something I’ve ever felt like I have to explain about myself.”
Taj Jackson urged Rolling Stone UK to give Harry Styles "his own unique title" after the magazine called him the "new King of Pop" in its latest issue.
[death in 2009](https://www.eonline.com/news/1051849/remembering-the-madness-on-the-day-michael-jackson-died), Taj urged the magazine to give Harry "his own unique title" instead of making it seem like he was succeeding the Thriller artist. I didn't want to get into it if I was going to hurt people like that." "I just wanted to sing. While Harry has not publicly addressed Taj's comment, he did note in his cover story with Rolling Stone that he rarely uses social media. 22, the music magazine unveiled the cover for the October/November issue of its U.K. Decades of dedication and sacrifice."

Continuing the most insufferable bit of discourse on the internet, some people accused him of “queer-baiting” (essentially, pretending to be queer for profit when you’re not) – the implication being that Styles is really just a straight guy. [Sauvage](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByNspjR-_AI) contains a harrowing depiction of sexual violence, but that hardly seems like the kind of thing to which Styles is referring, and what I remember most about [120 BPM ](/film-tv/article/39973/1/120-bpm-cast-interviews-aids-crisis-activism) is a heartbreaking scene where a character dying of AIDS-related illnesses receives a handjob from his lover in a hospital bed. “So much of gay sex in film is two guys going at it, and it kind of removes the tenderness from it,” he said. So unless Styles has access to a secret canon of raunchy queer cinema that the rest of us don’t know about, it seems safe to dismiss his comment as ill-informed. It was the suggestion that cinema suffers from an abundance of “two guys going at it” which provoked the most backlash, which is understandable – the claim doesn’t bear any scrutiny whatsoever. Based on a novel of the same, My Policeman is set in Brighton in the 1950s.
Pop superstar Harry Styles is peeling back the curtain on his personal life, addressing accusations of queerbaiting, his sexuality and romantic relationship ...
The film will be released in November. “I don’t personally believe the hateful energy defines his fan base at all. If someone takes a picture of you with someone, it doesn’t mean you’re choosing to have a public relationship or something,” he said. “I just wanted to sing. “It’s obviously a difficult feeling to feel like being close to me means you’re at the ransom of a corner of Twitter or something,” he explained. “There’s always going to be a version of a narrative, and I think I just decided I wasn’t going to spend the time trying to correct it or redirect it in some way,” he explained.
The first two nights of the pop superstar's residency at Madison Square Garden was a triumphant example of his pure devotion to Too Much All The Time.
Never Josh!” At the end of the show, he told the crowd, “Make some noise for Josh, whatever kind of noise you want to make.” “Grapejuice” isn’t in the set, probably because of its tonsil-trashing high notes, but maybe it’ll be the “To Be So Lonely” of this tour—the fan fave that sneaks into the show by popular demand. Some spent “Matilda” having a meditative moment to themselves. Harry slowed it down for his two most soulful ballads: “Sign of the Times” and the new “Matilda.” They feel spiritually linked—two poetic songs about trauma, grief, and rebirth. And he does, from the tubular-bells synth groove of “As It Was” to the destructo-punk headbang of “Kiwi.” He ended with the rock & roll mosh-pit raunch of “Kiwi,” a song that never fails to make strong buildings quiver in terror—both nights, it turned the floor of Madison Square Garden into Jell-O. “We’re gonna find the golf dads. (No “Falling,” “Cherry,” “Fine Line,” not even “Lights Up.”) It’s a super-emotional show, even without the sad songs, because the will to uplift never quits. (At his very first NYC show, in 2017, it was “Kiwi” he did twice.) As he says in the Rolling Stone cover story, that moment was startling even for him. He’s back to performing in the round, or as he elegantly put it, “I’m gonna be in the middle of you all night!” This stage set means he has to cover more space, but nobody loves covering space like he does. Which leads me to the introduction to this very sad song.” (Who else could get away with using an ass-to-face disclaimer as a lead-in to a ballad as heart-wrenching as [“Matilda”](https://www.rollingstone.com/wp-admin/blank)? As he sings in the show opener “Daydreaming,” he wants to give you something to dream about.
The first two nights of a 15-concert run at Madison Square Garden were heavy on charisma, banter and nods to the past.
[“Fine Line.”](https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/12/arts/music/harry-styles-camila-cabello-review.html) When the songs were … ZOLADZ I sometimes detect a divide between the music Styles wants to make — the big, bold, if somewhat generic-sounding ’70s-style rock of his first album — and the more pop-oriented fare that better suits his personality. CARAMANICA That was one of the musical high points, if not the peak. [stan army](https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/25/arts/music/pop-music-superfans-stans.html) — and after catching Styles’s show on Sunday night, I’m ready to declare him the defining solo artist of that era, too. But I would describe the look he was going for, in a red-and-white-striped jumpsuit, as “sexy candy cane.” The fashion, the fans, the force of personality — it feels like we’re talking about everything but the music here, which is perhaps telling. And [“Sign of the Times,”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qN4ooNx77u0) the first Styles solo hit, was ponderous, a karaoke take on mid-1970s power-mope. But that approach wears thin in a solo act, and time and again during the Harry Styles show at the Garden on Saturday night, I found myself vexed. Despite all of the construction around Madison Square Garden, I had no difficulty finding the venue’s entrance: I just followed the trail of rainbow feathers shed from the signature Styles neckwear that at least half of the audience seemed to be sporting. Two New York Times critics attended the first two nights of his Love on Tour run in New York to see how he wielded his gravitational pull. Or maybe I liked what the group represented: a rejection of the hyperprocessed boy band, and by extension an acknowledgment that doing the least can still earn you the most. Over the weekend, Harry Styles began a 15-night stand at Madison Square Garden, an impressive feat befitting one of the most popular musicians in the world. (He’ll begin a similar stretch in October at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, Calif.

“I look up to Harry because I think his music saves a lot of people, and it definitely did that for me,” Iowa resident Aubrey Williams said. After it caught on with fans, the singer adopted it as a slogan and released “Treat People With Kindness” as a single off his second album, Fine Line. “I think he is very good at expressing himself, and I feel it just reflects on other people.” No matter what genre, fans of an artist express their support through how they dress and a sense of community. Music fandom is not new and exists across genres, from punk to hip-hop, and certain groups have elicited strong fandom, from the Beatles to BTS and, oh yeah, Styles's former band, One Direction. It’s not just a concert when Harry comes to town — it’s an event.
