Pete Wentz To Harry Styles: How Assumed Queerness Has Changed

Harry Styles is not the first straight man assumed to be queer. Years before Harry Styles was praised for carrying a rainbow flag around on stage and ignoring questions about his sexuality, Pete Wentz dominated the covers of gay magazines while proclaiming to be straight.  So is Harry Styles really a queer icon? Was Pete Wentz ever one?  In this episode, we’re examining assumed queerness and its cultural impact from Pete Wentz and the rampant homophobia of the early 2000s to Harry Styles and the androgynous fashion acceptance of the present day.
