Social media users are praising Harry Styles after he helped a fan come out during his show at Wembley Stadium this weekend.

Per The Huffington Post, the 28-year-old 'As It Was' singer was performing in London over the weekend as part of his Love On Tour.

During the show, the musician took the opportunity to interact with the crowd when he spotted a sign with a message that read: "From Ono To Wembley: Help Me Come Out".

In the clip, the former One Direction singer can be seen holding up the fan’s sign for the audience as he asks the crowd: "So, you’d like the people of Wembley to bring you out?"

Watch the sweet moment below:

After being met with rejoicing cheers, Styles grabs a rainbow flag from the front of the stage and declares: "When this [pride] flag goes above my head, you are officially out."

"I think that’s how it works," he jested. "When this flag goes over the head, you’re officially gay, my boy."

Accompanied by a drum roll, the 'Watermelon Sugar' singer teased the raising of the Pride flag for a few seconds, and then joked: "Nope, still straight," before triumphantly raising it.

Styles then told the fan: "Congratulations, you are a free man," before blowing him some kisses to mark the special occasion. "Holy moly, the adrenaline!"

Fans reacted to the heartfelt encounter on social media with compliments for the singer after sharing the now-viral video.

One user wrote: "As a not straight person, I can't hold my tears for this."

Another shared: "NO WORDS, HAAAARRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY YOU’RE THE BEST."

A third commented: "@Harry_Styles is a beautiful human,"

A fourth user said: "This was wholesome to watch and be a part of."

This isn't the first time the musician has shown his support for the LGBTQIA+ community on stage. Styles helped a fan come out to her mother at a concert in Milwaukee in November.

Standing near the stage, the fan caught the 'Falling' singer’s attention with her large poster that read: "My mom is in section 201. Help me come out??"

After seeing the post, Styles shouted "Lisa, she’s gay!" and the crowd erupted into cheers, leaving the pair overcome with emotion.

The fan then spoke about the special moment to The Independent and said: "Harry and my mom both mean so much to me. To be able to share this moment it’s literally indescribable."
