In January of this year, the late-night talk show circuit featured something of a rarity — a moment of male vulnerability. Andrew Garfield and Stephen Colbert shared a lip-lock, and you can relive the awws here.
Which brings us to today, a fitting 11 months later.
During a James Corden “Carpool Karaoke” segment, the Late Late Show host (not to be confused with Colbert’s more succinct Late Show) was treated to an early Christmas present: a tender kiss from Harry Styles.
Twitter had much to say about the moment:
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Watch the festive, star-studded spectacle below (and fast forward to 2:06 if you’re just here for the kiss):

Seriously, Queerty? It’s not even the first time Harry Styles has kissed James Corden.

And it’s not as if he’s kissing someone he could possibly have any sexual interest in. Let me know when he locks lips with Shawn Mendes.

Agreed, or even two straight people have kissed, it’s 2017 ffs.

I doubt Shawn Mendes’ agents let him be in the near vicinity of Harry Styles. Better prevent than cure and Shawn has enough problems trying to convince himself that he is straight to tempt him

Whether you’ve never kissed a guy before, are kissing a new guy for the first time or just want a quick refresher, some of this might come in handy

@crowedaddy Because Harry Styles (were he gay) couldn’t possibly be interested in a man that you don’t find attractive because they’re fully grown? Ugh

It’s like Ellen kissing a man

There are hundreds of pics and some videos of Harry kissing his former One Direction band mates. Although he is currently “dating ” a girl. ..I think its just a Beard. I think if he came out it wouldn’t hurt his fan base at all..btw his album is great he can really sing .. Its not a sugary pop album ..its mature. Well crafted album

*yawn* Seriously? Still? *yawn*

Maybe his kissing men is just a Beard.

When I was younger I couldn’t wait to see which hot movie star or singer was doing something that hinted they might be gay. My partner at the time would say to me, so if Leonardo Di Caprio or whoever it was, is gay, do you think your any closer to having sex than you were yesterday with him. I was like, I guess not.
Anyhow, As I get older I care less and less. Probably part of the infatuation with these stories is it gives us some kind of sub-conscious validation and as you age the need for validation dissipates.

…Harry’s a gorgeous and talented young man…that we now live in a time when he can feel free to do that, regardless of his sexuality, is a miracle…good for him, good for us…

Why doesn’t the title say, “James Corden kissed a guy and fans can’t even” ?
Brian
OMG, the fans can’t even? Those poor fans.

Can Corden STOP singing OVER his guests? FFS!
