• Louis' 'baby' isn't real. He aggressively defends his fans, family and band mates. If the babygate coverage was annoying him he would have spoken up by now - but he hasn't. The baby's fake. • Liam was chosen specifically for the magazine. He's the only one with (albeit exaggerated) homophobic media coverage under his belt. Management would never let Louis and Harry anywhere near the interview. They would be too scared to let them loose. Niall voiced his support of same sex marriage when Ireland legalised. This leaves only Liam. The whole band couldn't have gone, it would have been too risky. It had to be Liam on his own, management made sure he was alone so that their reputation would be tarnished, that's what they're trying to do. It has nothing to do with going solo - if the whole band were allowed to go, they would have. No doubt if the magazine could have chosen they would have picked Louis or Harry considering their links to the LGBT community. • The shoot pictures are old. The interview is probably from about the same time as the shoot. Liam got his tattoos on his birthday and they would clearly be visible. This has to have been done before the end of August. Although Harry was very into the flags and breaking gender barriers (nail varnish) before then, he at least had some time to really bring the flags to the main focus of the concert before the interview was published, especially with the help of the RBB. Liam always reads out the Larry signs, he's really into that aspect of the concerts. Liam is one of the main supporters of this fandom's obsession. There's no way he would criticise us of his own accord, especially if that seems to be negative of the LGBT flag in an LGBT magazine. Harry and the boys probably brought more attention to the flags at the concerts to really highlight the difference between the real boys that you see on stage - where they have a lot more freedom - and the way they are presented in the media, as monitored by management. They want to show us how fake management makes them, how much they are controlled. • Liam has tweeted about the negative response he received from us about the interview - probably something he expected. But the tweets are nothing like his script. His grammar, his spelling, just the way he words things. The tweets are not his, they are formulated meaning that he probably didn't tweet them - or at least not willingly. His Instagram posts are more like him and just days ago he posted saying 'real eyes...real lies'. That might be completely off topic but maybe he is trying to let us know it's all formulated. Maybe it's a general comment or more directed at the interview specifically. • It's been all over the news that they're breaking up. But they always take a break after tour. Every year, in the wake of the new album they release at Christmas, they have a rest. And every year it's said that they're breaking up. They never do. Maybe they just need a month or two extra this time. It'd been 5 years nearly non stop. No wonder they're probably exhausted. You could tell Zayn was getting sick (although their are unknown reasons he did leave the band. Not just because he was fed up). He was always kind of out of it but more so just before he left. The boys are completely into the tour, they're into the experience, they're throwing everything they've got at the album. Their music is getting better and better (with the exception of SMG which again was the worst song on the album. I'm willing to bet they would have chosen a better song if they weren't being forced by management to produce a pop single to kickstart their album). My point is, they would not be putting this much effort in if they were giving it all up. What all this means is that management are basically trying to tarnish their image ahead of their management change over. Don't believe the media. Don't trust their Twitters wholeheartedly. It's not them. It's not who they are.
