who tends the orchards? who fixes up the gables? emotional torture from the head of your high table who fetches the water from the rocky mountain spring? and walk back down again to feel your words and their sharp sting and i'm getting fucking tired the capillaries in my eyes are bursting if our love died, would that be the worst thing? for somebody I thought was my saviour you sure make me do a whole lot of labour the calloused skin on my hands is cracking if our love ended, would that be a bad thing? and the silence haunts our bed chamber you make me do too much labour

I was listening to this interview with David Shields, who played Everett Blakely.

He says while they were up in the planes in between takes, they would pass the time by giving each other riddles to puzzle out. The riddle scene in episode 3 was unscripted, just them chatting in between takes. And then it got worked into the show.

The more we see the “officially out” celebrities speaking out about coming out publicly being their worst decisions the more I’m reminded a reason why Harry and Louis chose to never explicitly disclose theirs.

Bowie said this back in the day, you would think times would change but just a week ago Billie admitted she never wanted to talk about her sexuality and relationships ever again.

I don’t think we can say that that’s the reason they haven’t explicitly come out. But, yes. As wonderful as it would feel to be free and not have to fake things, I think sometimes there’s a massive downside for celebrities.

I don’t know what caused Billie to say that, but it makes me really, really sad that something made her feel that way. I know Rupert Everett has said he regretted coming out when he did because he felt it damaged his career in a big way. But he also said:

“I think, all in all, I'm probably much happier than [other major stars who are keeping their sexuality a secret] are. I may not be as rich or successful, but at least I'm vaguely free to be myself.”

I’ve always found Bowie’s reasoning really interesting and so in line with who he seemed to be as a person.

“The quote has taken on far more in retrospect than actually it was at the time. I’m quite proud that I did it. On the other hand I didn’t want to carry a banner for any group of people, and I was as worried about that as the aftermath. Being approached by organisations. I didn’t want that. I didn’t feel like part of a group. I didn’t like that aspect of it: this is going to start overshadowing my writing and everything else that I do. But there you go.”

Full interview here

In some ways I can really see Harry feeling a similar way. Perhaps Louis, as well, although he never explicitly touches on sexuality in interviews. We may be overly focused on finding evidence of their relationship, but I doubt either would want it to overshadow their art.

I think sometimes it does, anyway. Because not saying anything somehow makes people want to know even more.

Harry has made it quite clear that, at least at this point, he doesn’t feel his sexuality is the world’s business. He’s not hiding it, though. And I think those of us who see the signs and hear the nuance are richer for it and feel a deeper connection to his art.

At the end of the day, I think each person has to make the choice for themselves and then live with how that choice changes them and their art.
