Do you think Liam is attracted to girls or guys or both?
Before I say anything, let me just say that how Liam self-identifies sexually is ultimately his business, not ours.
Personally, I have no opinion beyond what I can observe and make sense of. Since I think that he is in a relationship with Zayn, I would say that he is at the very least attracted to men. He has also hinted as much, in so many words. Since I am feeling indulgent, let’s take a detour through shade lane, shall we…
Liam gushed about how Justin Timberlake makes him “starstruck” at the 2013 BRITs, and infamously corrected an interviewer who implied that she would be sexually attracted to JT and assumed that Liam would not:
Transcript:
Liam: Justin Timberlake makes me starstruck.Zayn: Yeah, me and Liam were both pretty starstruck.Louis: [teasing Liam] He makes me starstruck, he makes me very happy.Liam: He makes me starstruck, yes he does.Interviewer: He makes me very happy too but probably for different reasons. Um…Liam: How do you know that?Interviewer: I’m saying nothing, I ask the questions.
This moment aired on livestream, but Liam’s “how do you know that” remark, and only that remark, was suspiciously edited out of the officially aired version [livestream: X; official version: X]. Looks like someone’s team knew exactly what Liam meant and was none too happy about Liam spilling the tea…
At the 2013 VMAs he revealed that he would kiss Drake:
So, where the Justiam Timberpayne and Driam fics at? Y’all know those have already been written.
Also, Liam sang “Blurred Lines” by Robin Thicke at WWA Pasadena and changed the lines “now he was close” to “now she was close,” and “you’re a good girl” to “you’re a good guy,” making the song about a man trying to lure another man from his girlfriend:
In this video you can even see Harry’s surprised reaction when he hears Liam.
Also, Liam and Zayn have clandestinely referred to each other in public using feminine pronouns. Zayn once tweeted this, but later revealed in an interview that the “girlfriend” was Liam:
Transcript of the interview:
Interviewer: Zayn, one of my favorite headlines on you is “Does Zayn Malik have a secret girlfriend with nice boobs?”Zayn: Yeah. [laughs]Interviewer: Did you just—Zayn: Yeah, that was just a random tweet, actually it—somebody was staring at Liam’s chest and I thought I’d jump on the comedy wagon and I tweeted “the awkward moment when someone’s staring at your girlfriend’s boobs.”Interviewer: Oh, I see…Zayn: I was talking about Liam’s boobs!
Liam told a story on The Late Late Show about how he fell onstage trying to impress “the missus,” even telling audiences which concert it happened and how to find it on YouTube.
The catch is that Zayn is “the missus,” since Liam was clearly describing himself falling in front of Zayn:
So I would think that it is safe to say that Liam is attracted to men. It is hard to say anything about women since the women with whom he has been associated like Danielle and Sophia have been demonstrated to be beards and fake girlfriends, soooo…the rest remains up to Liam to reveal.
