A few days ago it came to a - quite unusual and accordingly spectacular - outing. A young woman who attended a Harry Styles concert in Milwaukee had found a very special way to communicate to the world (and especially to her mother).
She asked singer Harry Styles, who is considered a kind of icon for many community members anyway, to help her with her outing. He didn't have to ask for long...
Music, a coming out and a lot of feeling - what happened?
The Harry Styles concert in Milwaukee was in full swing when a woman held up a sign saying that her mother was in the "201 area" and that Harry should help her come out. The singer did not hesitate long and held the mic in front of her.
At that moment, the fan seemed to have changed her mind. She explained that there were too many people in front of whom they now had to speak. Harry, who should be used to "many people" anyway, had far fewer inhibitions. He shouted in the direction of said area "She's a lesbian!".
Shortly after, the entire hall hooted and even the mother of the newly outed fan seemed to be happy and satisfied - even though this was definitely a coming out that no one had ever experienced before.
What happened after the outing at the Harry Styles concert?
That's exactly what many fans in the hall must have wondered. Did the woman regret the step? Was it TOO much attention that was suddenly showered on her? Apparently not. Because: shortly afterwards she took to twitter to thank the singer again. No one could ever take away the moment she had experienced.
At the same time, she emphasized in the clip that Harry helped her realize who she was. The fact that artists who have a close connection to the LGBTQI+ community always serve as inspiration is not new. Lady Gaga can also be happy about a similar image. Since her hit "Born this Way" at the latest, she has been one of the people who are often mentioned first in connection with self-acceptance and self-love.
And Harry Styles is also one of those artists who have no problem making a clear statement in the direction of community support. No matter whether it's about appearing in rather feminine looks or waving the rainbow flag: Harry obviously loves to play with sexual orientations and prejudices and to polarize a bit in the process.
Who is Harry Styles anyway?
Harry Styles is probably still known to many from his time as the singer in One Direction. He inspires numerous people of different generations with his artistic creations. Above all, his penchant for breaking conventions - especially in connection with clothing and outfits - is already legendary.
Or in other words: pictures of the singer wearing not only nail polish, but also clothes, now shock almost no one.
However, his - partly accordingly - very extroverted style does not stand in the way of his career in show business. On the contrary! Originally discovered in the context of a casting show, he has now also managed to gain a foothold in the field of film / TV. In the past, he was able to score roles and appearances in "Saturday Night Live", "Eternals" and "Dunkirk", among others. And at the latest since the outing of his fan, in which Styles was ultimately involved to a not insignificant degree, it has become clear that there can be no talk of "Rainbow-Washing" in his case.
