Prince of love Harry Styles has helped a fan come out to her mum during a live concert in San Jose, California, last night.The former One Direction member is currently on his first solo world tour and is in the process of melting a bunch of hearts and spreading the love.

Twitter user Grace documented the events to her account and shared how she had brought a poster to the concert with the words “I’m gonna come out to my parents because of you!!!” written on them.
Grace is clearly a dedicated fan travelling 2,846 miles (about 4580 kilometres) to see the lad.
The post was captioned “the double sided poster for tonight. I’m not expecting anything but I hope he at least sees it.”

Mates, he 100 per cent saw it.
During the concert, Styles paused the gig to read the poster and ask where Grace’s mother was? Mama Grace, Tina, was back at the hotel room about “four miles away” so then – and naturally – Styles breathes in and lets out an almighty “TINA, SHE’S GAY!”
At this point, Grace is EMOTIONAL but after the concert she thanked her idol “for creating an environment where I am proud to be who I am. Your continuous support of the LGBTQ+ has helped me come to love myself and feel safe. Thank you for tonight and I can’t wait to show Tina (my mom) this video. Love you always.

Then this happened and my eyes aren’t tearing up at all:
“Yes I do love you and you can be whoever you want to be.”
“TINA SHE’S GAY”
I SHOWED MY MOM THE VIDEOS FROM TONIGHT. SHE IS OVERJOYED AND SAYS THAT “YES I DO LOVE YOU AND YOU CAN BE WHOEVER YOU WANT TO BE” SHE WANTS TO THANK HARRY FOR HELPING ME COME OUT and she has decided to come to LA Night 1 with me 🙂
Thank you @Harry_Styles 💓 pic.twitter.com/vB0kpAImUv— grace (@musicforasushi) July 12, 2018
Styles has always been a strong LGBTQ+ rights advocate. Just last month, the 24-year-old held up a fan-made Make America Gay Again rainbow flag during a concert in Philadelphia – a far more lovable version of US President Donald Trump’s infamous Make America Great Again slogan.
During Pride Month, the artist also released t-shirts with the words ‘Treat People With Kindness’ on them in a rainbow print. Proceeds from the merchandise went to GLSEN – an American education organisation striving for safe and inclusive schools for LGBTQ+ youth.
P.S
Tina is out there living her best life:
tina loves the pre show playlist and has been singing along to every word
thank you to everyone who has been so kind to her online and at the show 💓 pic.twitter.com/edLZEyuxks— grace (@musicforasushi) July 14, 2018
