We have another reason to adore Harry Styles now. The singer recently helped a fan come out to her mom during his concert in Milwaukee.
November 3rd is a day that McKinley McConnell will never forget in her life. Harry Styles was performing at the Fiserv Forum in Wisconsin when he saw McKinley holding a sign for him. The sign read, “My mom is in section 201. Help me come out?”
The singer stopped singing and asked McKinley, “What would you like to tell your mother? I can tell her if you’d like.”
To which the fan replied by saying, “Okay, there’s a lot of people”. Harry then jokes and says, “There is a lot of people. Did you not know? Did you think this through?”
Then Grammy-winning singer went on to say, “Okay, do you want to tell her, or should I tell her?” When McKinley said yes he faced towards the section her mom was sitting and shouted, “ Lisa she’s gay!” Since they were standing far from each other, the singer joking said, “Now, I don’t want to ruin the moment, but wouldn’t it be nice if you were a little bit closer together,”
It was a perfect cinematic moment as the crowd cheered, Lisa then blew kisses to her daughter. McKinely McConnell couldn’t thank the singer more. She wrote on Twitter-“Thank you for creating a safe place for me. thank you for letting me grow alongside you as a fan. thank you for helping me know who I am. thank you.” She also said that she will never forget this moment.
In an interview, McKinley said, “I’m really beyond blessed that both my parents are so supportive. And I think they probably always suspected, even though you try to act like they don’t. She just kept saying she loves me and is proud of me.”
It is not the first time Harry Styles has helped a fan come out- Advertisement
While Harry was doing a show in Connecticut, he helped a fan come out of the closet as bisexual. The fan was holding a sign that said, “I’m gonna come out to my parents because of you!” After reading this sign, Harry shouted, “Tina, she’s gay!”
Harry who is a former One Direction member has been vocal about supporting the LGBTQ+ community. Besides helping fans come out at his concerts, the “Watermelon sugar” singer has waved pride flags during his shows and has tried to break the stigma of “Toxic masculinity” on several occasions.
