Harry Styles helps Italian fan come out as gay at London Wembley Stadium show: "You're a free man"
"You're a free man," Harry Styles told Italian fan Mattio in front of 90,000-strong crowd
As the UK leg of Harry Styles' Love On Tour wrapped at London's Wembley Arena last night (June 19), one member of the 90,000-strong audience instigated an emotional moment mid-show.
Mattio, an Italian fan who'd travelled to London especially for the show, caught the One Direction star's attention with a banner reading 'From Ono to Wembley: Help me come out.'
Always happy to show his support for the LGBTQIA+ community, Harry made it a Pride Month to remember for Mattia as he announced him an 'officially out,' 'free man.'
Honestly, this is everything.

So... what? Just because it's Pride Month doesn't mean... whatever, I'll pretend this article wasn't posted on this site.

Although sometimes all about the LGBTQIA+ can often get far too much attention, coming out is one thing that anybody not part of will never be able to understand and is undoubtedly one of the hardest things to ever do and come to terms with. It is something that really should be celebrated as is a defining moment in that person's life where they can not only finally be honest with themselves but others around them and finally be who they actually are
