confession time: I would sacrifice every movie harry was ever in if it meant he would keep his long hair
the difference between “I know the script inside and out, I have read the novel, and this is the kind of project I want to be my next film because I believe in the political relevance of its message” and “I wanted to act again”
My policeman was so important to him
— Harry on My Policeman
Yep, people definitely convinced themselves he was "past" this sort of thing. They saw him get that MP role and assumed that this meant he was now going to be publicly allowed to be out and queer. "If he's playing a gay role in a movie, why can't he say he's queer IRL" seems to be the logic applied. A lot of people failed to realize that taking a gay role might itself lead to the "necessity" of a beard during that project
yeah i have yet to feel like harry is coming out and this includes 2015 when EVERYONE on here thought he was seconds away from coming out. i didnt see it then either (although I didn't think we'd get babygate either).
vos crees que louis pueda llegar a sentir como engaño las escenas de harry en my policeman?? o decis que ya lo hablaron y asi
damn this is getting weird...
pero bueno
Entonces, es engaño?
The producers of My Policeman shared adorable pictures of their family today on Instagram. Robbie Rogers was a closeted gay man the entire time he was a professional football player in England. He came out after he retired. He then moved to the US and played for the LA Galaxy and became the first openly gay male athlete in any North American professional sport. When I see how happy they are, it gives me faith in the future. 😉
i would’ve agreed with this if it wasn’t that david dawson is a gay man. harry hasn’t confirmed his sexuality and neither has louis tomlinson(but he’s persistent that he isn’t gay when this ship is brought up)
louis tomlinson gets annoyed when people say he’s gay - because, well, he isn’t. harry doesn’t label his sexuality but david is an openly gay man. which is why harry and louis’s situation is no where near the message of the film. and it is probably more relatable for david rather than harry. and well. it is literally a ship. people just speculate they had feelings for each other.
so it makes more sense to me that david finds this film more important because he is gay and struggled with it while growing up. so trying to twist the message of the film to fit harry and louis(people who are merely being shipped) doesn’t make sense and doesn’t justify cropping david dawson out when he’s the one choosing to spread this message for his own community - which makes me think it’s probably, actually, a little homophobic because he is one of the only gay actors in the film. about gay men. who weren’t allowed to live their life as gay men.
so, in general, i still think it’s disrespectful to crop a gay actor out of a film about gay men and the struggle to live as who you are.
i feel so bad for actors that work with other actors who happen to be shipped heavily with someone else bc of the way the first actor is having their face edited out of pics and replaced with the person the second actor is shipped with is so fucking annoying.
yes this is aimed at anyone who edits out actors who harry styles has acted with bc why are you editing louis’s face onto david dawson’s?? in a film with such a strong and powerful message?? like omg let queer actors and media LIVE and feed your fucking ship with real material and not disrespecting the other actor
