The month of June is also known as Pride Month. It’s the time of the year dedicated to the celebration and commemoration of the LGBTQ+ community and even allies are welcome to join in on the celebration. Speaking of allies, UK singer Adele has always been a strong supporter of the community and she has even helped a man propose to his boyfriend at her concert back in 2017.
With this in mind, it’s not so surprising that she defended her queer fans when she heard someone in the audience say something about Pride Month at one of her recent shows. Here’s how she reprimanded him:
Adele is currently doing her Las Vegas residency and at one point during her show over the weekend, the singer was interacting with the audience when someone (believed to have) shouted, “PRIDE SUCKS!”. Triggered by what she heard, the Grammy winner scolded the man saying, “Did you say ‘Pride sucks’? Did you come to my fucking show and just say that ‘Pride sucks’? Are you fucking stupid? If you have nothing nice to say then shut up!”.
Everyone in the audience applauded the “Easy On Me” hitmaker for her stance and allyship for the queer community. Videos of the incident that night quickly went viral on social media with fans praising Adele for reprimanding the man for the remark but many have also argued that she might have actually misheard him. As seen in the comments below, netizens debated that the audience member yelled, “Work sucks!” as the performer was just talking about having to work on weekends for her Vegas residency.
Some backed up the argument by claiming that they sat near the man who the singer reprimanded and verified that he did not make any homophobic statement that evening. Regardless of what was actually said by the audience member, many were still glad to know that Adele would defend the LGBTQ+ community in a heartbeat.
Watch the video below and tell us what you heard the man shouted:
