Regardless of what Harry Styles thinks, Hollywood needs more gay sex in film – tender or not
metro.co.ukHarry Styles’ recent comments deriding the fact that ‘so much of gay sex in film is two guys going at it… it kind of removes the tenderness from it’, I felt a pang of discomfort.
Hubert and Antonin’s encounter – like other sex scenes I’ve seen since – didn’t align with Styles’ reading of them. The singer and actor was talking about his upcoming role in My Policeman, in which he plays a 1950s closeted cop in a love triangle with his wife and another man.
It’s a film that, according to Styles, portrays its relations ‘sensitively’. I’m all for this movie, but I can’t let the hitmaker’s comments slide.
