In a bizarre departure from the Left's normal support for gender ambiguity, some progressive reviewers are now criticizing flamboyant music singer Harry Styles for hesitating to publicly explain whether or not he is bisexual.

The criticism appears to be in response to a recent interview with 'Better Homes & Gardens,' which was released on Tuesday, 26 April, and in which the former 'One Direction' vocalist turned solo artist delivered a controversially questionable statement on the subject. Styles has often refused attempts by the media to discover more about his sexual orientation, claiming his desire for privacy and criticizing the concept as "outdated".

"I've been really open with it with my friends, but that's my personal experience; it's mine," he told the magazine. "The whole point of where we should be heading, which is toward accepting everybody and being more open, is that it doesn't matter, and it's about not having to label everything, not having to clarify what boxes you're checking." Some people apparently thought his arguments for not disclosing who he's slept with were reasonable. Others, though, were unsatisfied, according to EuroNews.
