.halsey wore a shirt that said “F**k your straight pride,” with a photo of a lesbian couple that was recently assaulted
with these two women and the entire LGBTQ+ community. She took a moment to address the constant fear that members of the community have no choice but to face head on every single day.
The 24-year-old then proceeded to call out those who've questioned why there isn't a"straight pride parade.""The answer is because if there was one, you wouldn't have to get on the bus and be terrified of getting fucking beaten or killed afterward," she said."Every fucking day on public transport is a straight pride parade."
What began as a sobering, yet necessary reminder of the hatred faced by the LGBTQ+ community ended as a room enveloped in love and pride. Toward the end of the clip, the singer caught a rainbow flag from the audience and asked her queer fans to make her a promise that they will not live in fear. Together, the crowd then erupted into a beautiful chant:"I will not be afraid!"
