Adele Tells Fan to 'Shut Up' After Heckling Pride Month

During the singer’s Saturday, June 1 concert in Las Vegas, she addressed the crowd in between songs when she was interrupted by a heckler in the crowd yelling, “Pride sucks!”“What was that? Did you just say, ‘Pride sucks?’” Adele said on Saturday, per social media footage. “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.”Saturday was the first day of Pride Month, an annual celebration for members of the queer community.

“Pride is a protest,” Billy Porter, who is openly queer, exclusively told Us Weekly last month. “It’s time for the elders to remind the kids that this is protest. It’s not just a party. Trust me, I believe in the party. You have to. And contacting your local representatives getting involved in local government. Vote bitches.”

The first Pride celebration was launched in honor of the 1969 Stonewall Riots, a series of gay liberation protests, in New York City.“I get a lot of mail from people who tell me that I make them really happy to be themselves, and really comfortable with who they are, which I love,” she told Out magazine in 2015, revealing that she once got a letter from a teen fan about using her music to come out to friends. “He fancied someone at school, but he wasn’t out.

One year later, Adele honored the victims of the fatal shooting at Pulse, a gay dance club in Miami, during one of her concerts in Belgium. “I’d like to start tonight by dedicating this entire show to everybody in Orlando and Pulse nightclub,” she tearfully said during her June 2016 concert. 'The LGBTQA community, they’re like my soulmates since I was really young, so I’m really moved by it.”
