Harry Styles addresses probing on his sexuality, says he's on his 'own journey'
Harry Styles' sexuality has been a topic of fan discussion he rarely addresses. But in a new cover story, Styles himself dipped his toe into said discussion and shared he's on a "journey" with his sexuality.
Styles, 29, opened up about accusations that he is "queerbaiting" in an interview with Rolling Stone on Monday. Styles pushed back against the term, which refers to teasing that you are a part of the LGBTQ community to gain a larger audience but never confirming if you are queer.
“Sometimes people say, ‘You’ve only publicly been with women,’ and I don’t think I’ve publicly been with anyone," he said. "If someone takes a picture of you with someone, it doesn’t mean you’re choosing to hold a public relationship or something.”

Harry Styles has been at the center of multiple conversations about sexuality and gender-fluid fashion.
He made headlines when he posed in a Gucci dress in the December issue of Vogue.
In a interview, the singer said that he thinks "sexuality's something that's fun."
In an interview with British GQ for the magazine's September issue, Styles said he was "pretty sure" he didn't identify as bisexual.
The comment was sparked by the interviewer asking Styles to address rumors about him and his friend Nick Grimshaw being in a relationship.
After the singer said that they're "just friends," the interviewer asked: "So you're not bisexual?"
In response, Styles said, "Bisexual? Me? I don't think so. I'm beautiful sure I'm not."

Harry Styles: ‘I’m not just sprinkling in sexual ambiguity to be interesting’
Here he comes, one of the planet’s most conspicuous adj men, stepping out of the London drizzle and into a dusty suburban pub. If there was an old vinyl register player in the place it would scratch quiet. Instead, the two-dozen punters turn hushed and intent, as if a unicorn has just trotted in off the street, and nobody wants to scare it off. “That’s frickin’ Harry frickin’ Styles,” whispers a young man at the bar, “in this pub.” The pop star is asked what he wants to drink and in a voice already inclined to undertones, quietly orders a cup of tea.
A former teen star who is now 25, a happier and rockier solo artist since his boyband One Direction split a few years ago, Styles has hidden himself inside a large, swamp-green parka. He’s tall, around the 6ft mark, and carries himself with a slight stoop. If Styles could only do something about his appearance from the neck up (elfin brow, wide Joker smile, a face that’s recognisable across multiple continents) you sense he could drink in pubs like this

Harry Styles is getting candid about life as of late.
Appearing on the cover of Rolling Stone for September, the "Harry's House" singer opened up about his life in the spotlight amid his Like on Tour concert tour.
"Everything in my life has felt fancy a bonus since 'X-Factor,'" said Harry, who is the first-ever cover star to appear simultaneously across all of Rolling Stone's 14 international editions. "Get on TV and sing. I never thought that would happen."

Since then, Styles has gone on to unleash two more albums, "Fine Line" and "Harry's House," and has received many accolades inclu
