Actually, people are good by nature and you’re a fool if you think otherwise.

he is not either.
he is and.
he is the quiet laugh in a silk blouse
and the guttural yell over a match-day goal.
he smells like cedarwood and warm sugar,
like pub beer and rose lotion.
he is calloused fingertips and a silver ring.
he is not the middle—he is the whole spectrum.
a man with a woman’s grace.
a girl with a lion’s roar.
he loves his softness and his strength
and sees no reason why they shouldn’t hold hands.
he does not shapeshift—he is the shape
that lives in the crack between definitions,
stretching the space until it feels like home.
they told him who to be.
he said no.
and now he is the in-between.
the proof that boundaries are only fences
when we agree to stop at them.
he did not stop.
he danced over the line,
arms wide open,
inviting us to come along.
he does not need to explain.
he only needs to be.
he is not either.
he is and.

Whoever wrote this should absolutely be ashamed of themselves, especially with what they said about Sydney Sweeney..
https://radaronline.com/p/harry-styles-hooking-up-actress-best-breasts-hollywood/
I saw the headline, but didn't read the article. That is absolutely disgusting.
Tumblr media
Harry Styles is "completely besotted with" Sydney Sweeney, RadarOnline.com can reveal. The 31-year-old singer and former One Direction member is reportedly "playing the long game" in a bid to get closer to the actress, 27, who Hollywood insiders say is going to stay on the A-list as she has the "best breasts in town."

don't you think some fans victimize harry way too much? it’s like they try to compare his suffering to Louis' and they really stretch things to make it work. It’s like 'you don’t know what he’s been through, just because he looks happy doesn’t mean he hasn’t suffered,' but that sounds so cliché. Honestly, if we’re being real and objective, he’s the one who’s faced the least negative consequences. It doesn’t make sense to treat him like a victim.
Hi anon, thank you for this very interesting ask, which gives me the opportunity to express my opinion on a topic I think about a lot.
I'm sure that the attitude you describe from some fans towards Harry, can be seen from others towards Louis as well. An attitude I don't agree with, just as I don't agree with those who continually try to make comparisons between the two of them both personally and professionally. I find this very unfair for a whole host of reasons. And this is regardless of whether or not one believes that they are still together, that they were in the past and now they are no longer, or that they were never a couple.
I don't agree with those who treat Harry -and Louis- as victims to be saved, very often infantilising them and thinking that the situation they live in today is the same as it was more than ten years ago, looking for all kinds of justifications when they make choices and decisions that we don't like and that don't reflect the narrative we have created in our heads. They have grown up, become grown men, and gained over time and with experience more control over their lives and thus their careers.
However, I partially disagree with the statement that it makes no sense to treat him as a victim. The fact that Harry is now a hugely successful artist does not erase the abuse he has suffered from the music industry in the past. No one comes out unscathed from that. Moreover, if you think he is closeted, that also makes him a victim of the system, with obvious negative consequences also and especially in his private sphere. Not to mention that, as much as he may have more control over his career and image (and the same goes for Louis), we have no idea what kind of contracts bind him to his label. Although - I repeat - it is undeniable that the current situation is not comparable to the incredibly awful one in the band's days.
But too often our confirmation bias based on our personal belief system and experiences; our perceptions of who they are/were; and projections fed by our own hopes, make us think otherwise. The only irrefutable truth is that we know nothing about their situation, their lives, and what goes on behind the scenes. We can only speculate, and this is always good to keep in mind if we truly want to be real and objective. Personally, I think that both of them, despite being victims of a terribly repressive and homophobic industry, have chosen to continue to be part of it for the reasons that only they - rightfully - know and believe are valid and worthy. I don't think they are forced into doing (or not doing) anything as they used to, but that they have learnt to play the industry game by trying to remain, as much as possible, the most authentic selves. Sometimes succeeding brilliantly, other times perhaps a little less so in our eyes. But this only makes them simply human. And as such complex and imperfect, yet at the same time incredibly strong and resilient men.

Hello, I sent you an ask about harry raising flags and why he should be more brave and take a political stance because of his public image. I was interested in your view.
hi anon! thank you so much for your patience — i promise i wasn’t ignoring your ask. i just wanted to take my time and really sit with it before responding, because it’s a big, complicated question… and one that’s often been used unfairly to weaponize criticism against H, sometimes in ways that feel less about holding him accountable and more about discrediting him completely. so i want to answer with care.
context of your original ask for others: Hi since it’s pride month, I wanted to ask you: do you think raising rainbow flags counts as a political stance? And don’t you think it’d be nice if H did more for the community? I mean, with the flags, he kind of does the same thing with country flags. And just waving a rainbow flag doesn’t feel like enough if he’s not explicitly talking about it or showing his support in a more direct way. With L, I get it—his public image is totally different. But H's whole image is kind of built around that, you know?
you’re right — H’s image is very much tied to ideas of openness, pride, and inclusion. and you’re also right that waving a rainbow flag on stage, while meaningful to many, doesn't always feel like enough, especially when we’re living in a global moment where queer lives and rights are actively under threat in many places.
but here’s the thing: H has never operated outside of the machine. since he was a teenager, he's had to navigate the entertainment industry under extreme scrutiny — not just as a member of 1D, but as the face of it. his image was the most marketable, the most "palatable," and that came with a crushing amount of pressure. anything he did or said reflected not just on him, but on the band's brand, their profitability, and the careers of hundreds of people behind the scenes. (yet, even with that pressue and being so young, he still wore the jersey of the first openly gay NFL player in support, waved rainbow flags, etc.)
image management is a real thing. in the world of pop stardom, everything — from what you wear, to what you say, to what causes you align with — is meticulously considered. not always because the artist doesn’t care, but because teams (label, management, PR, legal) have to constantly assess risk. does this statement alienate a portion of your fanbase? does it hurt tour sales in certain markets? does it violate a clause in a brand deal? is it going to get distorted by tabloids and used against you?
and when it comes to queer issues, the double bind is even more intense — especially for someone like H, whose own identity has been the subject of speculation for over a decade. if he says too much, it’s “confirmation.” if he says too little, it’s “cowardice.” he is in a lose-lose situation, no matter what.
and yet — he has supported the community in more tangible ways than people realize. here are just a few examples (all publicly documented):
his tour raised over $6.5 million for various charities — many of which were queer-focused or queer-affirming.
he’s made space at his shows for queer fans to feel safe, seen, and celebrated — not just with flags, but with the culture he’s built around his performances.
he played a queer character in My Policeman — a deeply quiet, painful, and very specific kind of story that doesn’t scream activism, but speaks volumes about shame, repression, and love in a closeted life.
and through all of this, he’s never mocked, minimized, or distanced himself from the queer community, even as people have twisted his image for clicks, headlines, and gossip.
is it enough? maybe not for everyone. and that’s okay. we’re allowed to want more from the people we look up to. but i also think we have to be careful not to demand a level of “bravery” from H that we wouldn’t demand from others — or that we don’t fully understand the risks of.
outside of fandom, you’ll see this exact criticism aimed at nearly every major celebrity who doesn’t “go far enough” in their activism. and on the other side, the ones who do speak up get flooded with hate, lose deals, or become political targets. there is no winning formula — only the reality that public advocacy comes with very real consequences, especially for queer artists or those perceived as such.
so i guess my answer is this:
H might not be able to do everything you hope for. but he’s doing something. a lot, even, when you look closely. and in an industry built to silence, sanitize, and sell, that still matters.

happy pride month, my loves 🏳️‍🌈
this fandom, especially the larrie corner of it, is inherently queer. not just because of who we believe H and L are, but because of why we believe it — and what it says about the world they’ve had to survive in.
this june, i'd like to encourage you to take the time to learn. really learn.
look at the legacy they coded into the background of their lives:
🌟 rbb and sbb stood for something. they still do. - george michael taught the world the cost of being outed. - divine broke boundaries with drag before most of us were born. - freddie mercury gave the world his voice while the world gave him silence.
learn about section 28 — the uk law that told a generation of queer kids they didn’t exist. learn about keith haring’s art and activism. learn about polari — the secret language gay men used just to survive. rewatch my policeman and sit with what it meant for H to take that role. really sit with it.
but go even further. step outside of fandom and learn about:
- matthew shepard, who was brutally murdered for being gay. - the stonewall riots, led by black and brown trans people. - harvey milk, one of the first openly gay elected officials in the u.s. - the aids crisis, and how an entire generation was lost while the world looked away.
and then — celebrate our progress. go to a pride parade if you can. stream queer artists. read queer authors. watch queer films made by queer people. donate if you’re able. volunteer if you’re willing. advocate always.
because at the end of the day, we exist as larries for a devastating reason: in 2010, it was more profitable to shove two queer teenagers into a closet than it was to believe that the girls buying their music could love them as they were. and in the fact that, in the big year 2025, queer and trans people — especially in the u.s. — are still fighting every single day for the right to live safely, freely, and fully.
so yes — H and L are beautiful. but the reason we care about it is because it’s rooted in something real. in something painful. in something ongoing.
use this month to honor that. to learn. to grow. to love louder. to make the world a little safer and kinder.

Can't believe it's been 2 years.
It's too long, I miss him and I want to go and see him again.
On my way to go and see Harry. I’m so excited 🤗
I try to keep my expectations low, because I’d love to experience Medecine live, but so far there seems to be a pattern where - when he sings it - it’s always on the second night of a city.
But one can still hope a little. 🤞🤞🤞
