In a powerful moment during her Las Vegas residency, Adele took a stand against hate and bigotry. The Grammy-winning singer was performing at her Weekends With Adele concert when a concertgoer decided to disrupt the show with a homophobic remark. As the LGBTQ+ community celebrated the start of Pride Month, this heckler shouted, “Pride sucks!”
Adele, never one to shy away from speaking her mind, swiftly responded. In a brief video captured by a fan, she clapped back at the individual: “Did you come to my f-king* show and just say that Pride sucks? Are you f-king* stupid? Don’t be so f-king* ridiculous.”
The audience erupted in applause and cheers as Adele defended love, acceptance, and equality. Her powerful message resonated far beyond the concert hall, as the video quickly went viral.
This incident isn’t the first time Adele has used her platform to address bad behavior. Last August, she stood up for a fan who was being bothered by others for standing up during her performance. Adele’s unwavering support for her fans and her commitment to standing against hate make her a true ally.
As we continue to celebrate Pride Month, Adele’s words serve as a reminder that love and acceptance should prevail over ignorance and prejudice. Let’s follow her lead and create a world where everyone feels seen, heard, and respected.
