Some of you might really need to hear this: BDS organizers don’t actually want you to start partaking in your own fragmented boycotts because it minimizes the impact of the targeted campaigns they have against HP, Sabra, Siemens, Puma, AXA, SodaStream, Ahava, and Carrefour.
The point of BDS isn’t to boycott as many companies as possible. It’s to boycott a selected few who are contributing the WORST because it not only hurts that companies profits & sends a message to them, it sends a message to other companies looking to try & follow in their steps.

This isn’t specific to Harry Styles, but I would express caution with automatically interpreting these vague statements as queerbaiting because in some scenarios it can actually be someone expressing a boundary that they don’t feel comfortable discussing their sexuality in public.
