Styles finished his solo world tour a little more than a year ago<\/a> at The Forum in Los Angeles. <\/p>\n
During the concert he reacted to a gay<\/a> fan who was holding up a sign for the singer.<\/p>\n
Said Styles after approaching the fan: \u201cCan I read [the sign]? It says \u2018I\u2019m gay<\/a> and I love you.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI love you as well,\u201d Styles replied. \u201cThank you for coming. I mean, we\u2019re all a little bit gay<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Styles\u00a0showed support<\/a>\u00a0for the LGBTQ community throughout the tour. He sold tour merchandise \u2013 rainbow t-shirts with the phrase \u201cTreat People With Kindness\u201d \u2013 that benefited GLSEN. He held up a rainbow flag<\/a>\u00a0that said \u201cMake America Gay Again\u201d.<\/p>\n
Styles sent fans into a frenzy on social media\u00a0in March<\/a> 2018\u00a0after performing\u00a0his track \u201cMedicine\u201d<\/a>\u00a0at a gig in Basel, Switzerland. Some suggested the lyrics meant he was coming out as bisexual<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Styles was tight-lipped when asked about his sexuality\u00a0in a 2017 interview with UK tabloid The Sun<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s weird for me \u2014 everyone should just be who they want to be,\u201d said Styles. \u201cIt\u2019s tough to justify somebody having to answer to someone else about stuff like that.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked if he gives his sexual orientation a label, Styles said:\u00a0\u201cNo, I\u2019ve never felt the need to really. No.\u201d<\/p>\n
But he praised artists like Miley Cyrus, who do discuss it:\u00a0\u201cBeing in a creative field, it\u2019s important to be \u00adprogressive. People doing stuff like that is great.\u201d<\/p>\n

Styles\u00a0also told a French talk show<\/a>\u00a0that he sees LGBT equality as something that\u2019s \u201cfundamental\u201d and not political.<\/p>\n
In 2014,\u00a0Styles told One Direction bandmate Niall Horan<\/a>\u00a0\u201cHey, don\u2019t knock it \u2019til you try it,\u201d when Horan was asked about dating men<\/a>.<\/p>\n
