After the CEO of Apple - Tim Cook - came out as gay, Louis was seen wearing this shirt. Which lead many people to believe he wore it to show support to Tim Cooks coming out.
The lady who wrote the article - Jenn Shelby - that Louis is referring to was praising his support to the LGBTQ+ community. It was a positive article and not once did they mention Louis& #39; sexuality or how the t-shirt would suggest that he is not straight.
His response through the tweet suggest that he was in fact not supporting Tim Cooks coming out and didn& #39;t like that people thought so. This also lead to the lady who wrote the article being attacked in multiple social media platforms.
This tweet caused alot of controversy and tension in the fandom. His aggressive and defensive reaction to potentially supporting the LGBTQ+ community came off as extremely insensitive and homophobic.
The thing is, if Louis was really so bothered by the reaction people had to him wearing a rainbow shirt why did he continue to publicly wear rainbow branded clothes. Even after this incident Louis& #39; still continued publicly to wear rainbow shirts on multiple occasions.
We know as a fact that during the band the boys management had access to their social media accounts. Whilst they claimed only to use this for & #39;promotional purposes& #39; i personally disagree. We also know that their management were extremely homophobic.
Regardless of the boys sexuality was management always tried to push the & #39;boyband image& #39; very macho and heterosexual. They had a young teenage girl fanbase this is what sold best.
Because their were also alot of speculations going on about Louis& #39; sexuality managment didn& #39;t like it when he was associated with anything LGBTQ+
I personally think this tweet doesn& #39;t seem like Louis at all he constantly shows support to the LGBTQ+ community it doesn& #39;t make sense why he would be so offended. https://twitter.com/tomlinsun_28/status/1159458835574218753?s=19">https://twitter.com/tomlinsun...
