In case you haven’t heard yet, Harry Styles maybe probably came out as bi in his new song “Medicine.” Or maybe probably didn’t. In true Styles style, it’s not totally conclusive.
Many fans are interpreting the lyrics of his new single as a not-so-subtle confirmation that he’s into girls and guys and whatever, man, he doesn’t do labels.

Here’s the verse that has the Internet convinced this is a thing:
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.
Tingle running through my blood, fingers to my toes
Tingle running through my bones
The boys and the girls are here
I mess ’round a bit
And I’m okay with it
The boys and girls are here
I’m messing ’round with them
And I’m okay with it
That’s confirmation, right? Right?!
Harry has long avoided using words like “heterosexual” to describe himself, and the reason why may now be coming into focus.

Not surprisingly, the response from fans has been, shall we say, extreme.

No surprise at all, we just know it now for sure it seems and I think it is cool

Meh, smoke a dick then we’ll talk. It’s one of the oldest tricks in the book- tease your sexuality being other than heteronormative right before you stab us in the back and disown it. Even people I’ve liked have done that like Madonna or Bowie. Once burned, twice shy- we’ve been conned too many times by the entertainment industry.

He once seriously referred to a guy he was in a band with before 1D as his “ex.” Wasn’t that “out” enough?
tricky ricky
surprised nobody has come up with taylor swift turned harry gay.

He sure has that bisexual swagger thing going as far as I can tell. Big ol’ wang (he snuck a dick-pic out some time ago), talent and playing the field while he’s sitting on top of the world. Yeah, I’m buying this story.
