Renowned singer Adele made headlines during one of her recent performances at the Colosseum in Caesars Palace, Las Vegas, where she currently hosts her ‘Weekends with Adele’ residency.

The incident occurred on June 1, when an audience member shouted “Pride sucks” during Adele’s performance. Promptly reacting to the derogatory remark, Adele addressed the individual directly, expressing her disbelief and reprimanding them for their comment.

“Did you come to my fg show and just say that Pride sucks?” Adele exclaimed. “Are you fg stupid? Don’t be so f****g ridiculous. If you have nothing nice to say, shut up, alright?”

The remark comes during Pride Month, which celebrates and honours the LGBTQ+ community, tracing its origins to the 1969 Stonewall riots in New York City. Adele, known for her vocal support and allyship toward the LGBTQ+ community, has previously spoken out in solidarity with the community.

In 2016, following the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida, which claimed the lives of 49 individuals and injured 53 others, Adele dedicated a show to the victims, expressing her deep connection with the LGBTQ+ community.

I would like to start tonight by dedicating this entire show to everybody in Orlando and at Pulse nightclub last night… The LGBTQ community, they’re like my soul mates since I was really young, so I’m very moved by it,” Adele stated during her performance.

In response to Adele’s swift and firm rebuke of the homophobic remark, fans rallied behind the singer, expressing admiration for her outspokenness and support for the LGBTQ+ community.

Social media users echoed their support for Adele, praising her for standing up against intolerance and bigotry, particularly during a month dedicated to celebrating diversity and acceptance.

The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of allyship and speaking out against discrimination, particularly in spaces meant for inclusivity and celebration.
