I know lots of straight people who would “care one bit” if people were continously telling people they’re gay.
I don’t think you’re grasping the scale of comments he’s receiving. It’s not him being offended by one comment, it’s constant bombardment by straight people/gay people/ media and everybody in between. He has every right to be distressed by people continuously spreading the narrative that he’s gay when he isn’t. It’s not even just hateful comments which he can ignore, even positive comments (Todrick) are soaked in “but you’re a homo” . I’d be annoyed too if there were constant news stories saying I’m lying through my teeth and I’m actually straight. Analysing my every move “oh look at his hand posititioning, he must be straight” . Also to say that because he’s offended by the bombardment, it must be proof he’s gay is ridiclous, if he had ignored it it wouldn’t have stopped or changed the public’s mind, people still call Harry Styles gay on a regular basis. Leave the poor boy alone.
