Yungblud's Sexuality and Relationships Explained: Everything Fans Want to Know
By Alexander Ross
Harrison's engagement with queer culture is not limited to styling choices or interview soundbites. His 2020 track "Mars," inspired by a real encounter with a young transgender fan he met on tour, led directly to a scripted short film of the same name. Premiering in 2022, the project cast trans actress Yasmin Finney, widely recognized for her breakout role in Heartstopper, as the lead protagonist navigating familial understanding in the North of England.
Rather than treating marginalized communities as marketing demographics, Harrison frequently platforms queer, non-binary, and trans artists. He invited emerging acts like Carlie Hanson on early tour runs, joined forces with pop-punk staples on tracks like Avril Lavigne's "I'm a Mess," and used his live shows as safe havens where rainbow and trans flags are prominently displayed. His creative hubs foster physical spaces where marginalized youth can gather without fear of judgment.
