Watch Harry Styles Help Turn A Fan Gay, Officially

While many a fan may be able to credit Harry Styles for their queer sexual awakening, one lucky audience member of the “Watermelon Sugar” singer’s Sunday concert at London’s Wembley Stadium has the honor of saying that Styles “made” them gay, officially, when he helped them come out during the performance.

During the concert, Styles spotted a sign in the crowd that caught his eye. “From Ono to Wembley: Help me come out,” read the sign, and Style obliged. After holding up the sign on-stage, Styles returned it and grabbed a rainbow flag from another audience member.

“When this flag goes over my head, you are officially out. I think that’s how it works: When this sign goes over the head, you’re officially gay, my boy,” said Styles. 

The singer built anticipation by running back and forth across the stage, teasing but not quite raising the flag. “Nope, still straight,” he joked at one point. Finally, after once again returning to center stage, Style triumphantly lifted the flag over his head and the crowd cheered rapturously. “Congratulations, you’re a free man!” Styles declared.

Watch the videos of the moment, shared on Twitter by fans below.

Styles has been a long-time ally of the LGBTQ+ community and has spoken in the past about sexual and gender fluidity.

Next up, Styles will be staring in the queer period romance My Policeman, in which he plays a closeted policeman who marries a woman (Emma Corrin) but falls in love with a museum curator (David Dawson). It also boasts some steamy sex scenes that Styles warns makes it one not to “watch with your parents.”
