do you know about some h#rries on twitter said that louis kicked a pride flag? some l#uies said it was an irish flag but i think i saw a blue color on them when he kicked it. i wanna give him the benefit of the doubt since i dont have a clearer version of the video but wdyt abt that?

I haven’t seen that video, but what they’re trying to insinuate is that Louis doesn’t support the gay community and is h*mophobic, when that is just not true. And it’s childish to insinuate as such given the countless examples of support towards the LGBTQ+ community Louis has continued to demonstrate despite his limited ability to do so . 

Also, Louis is a gay man himself. He supports his own community as much as he can publicly - which given his position is limited unfortunately. But he also supports his community privately.

Here is Louis applauding a gay couple on their engagement

Louis teaming up with Polari, a brand based on the secret gay language used since the 60s when gay people were persecuted and incarcerated in England. That is his community, where he grew up.

Louis interacting with queer fans and rainbow flags

Several instances of Louis’ support for the LGBTQ+ community

Masterpost of Louis’ LGBTQ+ support throughout the years

More instances of his support and use of rainbow imagery

He hangs out at gay bars and clubs, has throughout all these years

He has privately donated to LGBTQ+ organizations for years as well

And honestly, it irks me how people love to point the finger at Louis, when he is closeted. If you don’t see his support for the queer community it’s because he can’t be that loud and run around with rainbow flags. In his position he can’t do a lot, but he has done what he can. If you haven’t seen it, then that is on you. You are turning a willful blind eye to it and dismissing him.

How can you dismiss this?

that is literally Louis’ face engulfed by a melting rainbow.

ALL OUT is a gay organization. That is showing his support.

Wearing rainbow - that is showing his support.

Louis is a part of the gay community. All of these instances are examples of him showing that he is a part of it. He’s putting himself there. He is coding for other queer people to see. This is what closeted people do.

Don’t dismiss his symbolism. All his choices about wearing rainbow, and using rainbow imagery are examples of him showing us who he is. It’s beyond being an ally. It’s Louis showing that he is proudly a part of this community.

i saw someone on twitter found this old video of liam singing last request :(

Zayn, we see and hear you x

Oh Zayn, we see and hear you. Thank you. Your red Liam microphone, red lights and hat.  Wearing the diamond necklace you and Liam each had a strand of (so many photos of Liam wearing the original three strands and later you wearing a strand and Liam wearing just two). Same necklace you wore to the funeral with your red Liam wolf proudly on your chest.

Leaving us with Stardust as tribute to Liam, a song you called the album's love song. A song about two people destined to meet and be together forever. A song where the music video starts with two men together in cowboy hats (Brokeback Mountain ref) watching a sunrise together as the fateful star explodes on earth.

Singing Scripted, never a big single that's about how everything we see and hear about you is fake scripted news. The song that ends with the unscripted part of your life, your lyrics repeating you and I, you and I, the big 1D Ziam song that Liam tattooed I figured it out from.

The t-shirt that says Trust Nobody. We see and hear you Zayn. Open up your eyes and see indeed. Can't wait for the rest of the tour. Proud of you Zayn. He is too X

The fuscia sea lighting was also beautiful.
