This is something Styles has done since his One Direction days, and he continues to do it as a solo artist. During Pride month in 2018, the "Kiwi" singer proudly waved the flag at New York City's Madison Square Garden.

He did the same thing in places like Mexico City and San Francisco. In a 2019 cover story for Rolling Stone, Styles said that he waves the flag at his shows to help fans feel less alone.
"I want to make people feel comfortable being whatever they want to be," he said. "Maybe at a show you can have a moment of knowing that you're not alone."
"I'm aware that as a white male, I don't go through the same things as a lot of the people that come to the shows. I can't claim that I know what it's like, because I don't.-
-So I'm not trying to say, 'I understand what it's like.' I'm just trying to make people feel included and seen.”
When he said that he loves all fans who support him, regardless of what groups they are part of.
"If you are black, if you are white, if you are gay, if you are straight, if you are transgender — whoever you are, whoever you wanna be — I support you," he said during a show in Stockholm, Sweden in November 2017. "I love every single one of you."
When he said that he views equality as "fundamental," rather than political.
During an interview on a French show called "Quotidien," Styles was asked to share his opinion on the UK's Brexit situation.

After the "Two Ghosts" singer said that he's not a fan of talking about politics because the subject tears people apart, the interviewer pointed out that Styles is outspoken about gay rights, and he had the best response.
"That doesn't feel like politics to me," he said. "Stuff like equality feels much more fundamental."
When he donated his Gucci rainbow shoes to a British-based LGBTQ and mental health charity. Styles wore the loafers while promoting the 2017 movie "Dunkirk," which he starred in. They were later given to an organization called London Friend, which promotes health and wellbeing.
