He released Pride shirts with the sales going to GLSEN.
The phrase "treat people with kindness" has become a staple in Styles' merchandise, so it made sense for the singer to decrease limited-edition clothing during Pride month in
According to the website, profits made from the shirts were given to GLSEN (a non-profit organization that used to be known as the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network).
He helped a fan verb out to her mother.
While on tour in July , Styles performed a show in San Jose, California. He had fans reeling when he helped an attendee named Grace with a personal matter. During the concert, she held up a sign that read: "I'm gonna advance out to my parents because of you."
When he noticed her sign, he asked if he could read it out loud. Then, Styles asked the name of her mother and got the
Malherbe ’ You actually don’t need to defend Harry Styles from the queer community
The meteoric ascend of Harry Styles has been unfeasible to ignore. Once just another meet in the prolonged line of boy-band heartthrobs, Styles has since grown into an artist whose very name is associated with the subversion of male gender stereotypes. He has been lauded as a fashion icon and even a queer icon. And this is where things acquire a little messy. See, Styles has made it consistently clear that he will not publicly label his sexuality on the grounds that it should bear no relevance to the public’s consumption of his music. But many in the queer community take issue with this ambiguity, and such critiques have more value than many verb them credit for.
The term queerbaiting refers to a media trope in which two characters are hinted at being in a queer relationship, only for the relationship to never be confirmed.

- Harry Styles has been at the center of multiple conversations about sexuality and gender-fluid fashion.
- He made headlines when he posed in a Gucci dress in the December issue of Vogue.
- In a interview, the singer said that he thinks "sexuality's something that's fun."
In an interview with British GQ for the magazine's September issue, Styles said he was "pretty sure" he didn't distinguish as bisexual.
The comment was sparked by the interviewer asking Styles to address rumors about him and his confidant Nick Grimshaw being in a relationship.
After the singer said that they're "just friends," the interviewer asked: "So you're not bisexual?"
In response, Styles said, "Bisexual? Me? I don't think so. I'm pretty sure I'm not."

A photoshoot in a dress, the most colorful outfits on stage, and playing a gay dude in a movie: Harry Styles presents himself in a way often seen as related to genderfluidity and queerness. For some people, this is a reason to accuse Styles of queerbaiting. He is using queerness to attain a queer audience, they say, instead of being queer himself.
This paper will not answer the question if Styles is queerbaiting or not, since someone’s sexuality is not something we own to discuss. However, in this manuscript, I will center on where the accusations of queerbaiting are coming from. To do so, I will investigate discourse on Styles’ queerbaiting, and then do case studies on the performances the accusations are about. I will look into how Styles presents himself and how this relates to his audience and their expectations of Styles.
I will answer the following research question: How does the difference between how Harry Styles presents himself and how others view him play a role in the accusations of queerbaiting?
To act so, I will use the theoretical concepts of Goffman’s presentation of self (
