Joshua Bassett, who starred in High School Musical: The Musical: The Series answered a fan question about pop star Harry Styles during an appearance on Clevver News—an entertainment news and pop culture YouTube channel.

When asked about what he admires most about the "Watermelon Sugar" singer, the 20-year-old actor had nothing to say but high praises leading many to believe Bassett had inadvertently come out of the closet.

"He is a very classy man," Bassett began.

"He's also very well-rounded and kinda does it all—acting, singing, fashion. I think he's just a nice guy, doesn't say too much, when he talks, it matters. He's just cool—who doesn't think Harry Styles is cool?"

He continued gushing:

"Also, he's hot, you know? He's very charming, too. Lots of things."

After catching himself getting caught up in the moment, he added:

"This is also my coming out video, I guess."

And the internet was here for his coming-out party.

Assuming he did come out as gay in the clip, many praised the casual manner in which he declared himself a member of the LGBTQ+ community without much fanfare.



A day after his verbal adoration for Styles, Bassett addressed the speculation around his sexuality with an Instagram video in which he sang an acoustic song.

In the caption of the post, he wrote:

"My entire life people have told me my sexuality. people have shamed me for things they know nothing about. I want to say thank you to those of you who stand for love and acceptance."
"Toxicity, hatred, and negativity say less about the subject, but say far more about those who spew it. It's 2021. we are the generation of love & growth, it's time we start acting like it. whether you love me, hate me, or damn me to hell, i love you all the same."

He encouraged followers to "love who you love shamelessly" and assured them " it's ok to still be figuring out who you are."

"Life's too short to let ignorance and hatred win. I choose love."

Many social media users applauded his candidness in addressing his sexuality.

They stressed coming out is a personal process no one is obligated to fully explain or justify to those demanding clarification.








We choose love as well, Josh.

Dems Share Important Reminder As Trump's 'One Big Beautiful Bill' Is Set To Take Effect In January

After Democrats swept midterm election races to win back both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate in a clear repudiation of the Trump administration, people are sharing reminders that President Donald Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill" is set to take effect in January and that Americans could blame Democrats for stipulations Republicans put in the bill.

According to The Washington Post, the bill "includes the biggest reduction of funding for the federal safety net since at least the 1990s, targeting more than $1 trillion in social spending." The Post noted that the $3 trillion package "partially pays for its large price tag by slashing spending on Medicaid and food stamps (SNAP), which congressional Republicans maintain are rife with fraud."

Jesse Watters Has Complete Meltdown After Republicans Lose The Midterms—And We're Grabbing The Popcorn

Fox News host Jesse Watters expressed sheer disbelief after Democrats swept midterm election races to win back both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate in a clear repudiation of the Trump administration.

A Trump advisor told CNN that the election results were "essentially too big to rig." President Donald Trump has said he accepts the results and even acknowledged that his widely unpopular war in Iran played a significant role in pushing Americans to vote for Democrats. Affordability concerns, chief among them the price of gas, also contributed to the backlash Republicans experienced at the voting booth.
