Pop star Adam Lambert took to Instagram to condemn the online homophobic abuse targeting his partner, Oliver Gliese. After the 41-year-old shared a photograph from a night out with his partner on Friday (4 August), online trolls responded with comments attacking Gliese’s appearance.
On Saturday (5 August), Lambert posted a lengthy message on his Instagram story, criticising the homophobic comments against his partner. “Oli and I had a fun night out,” he began. “Lifts my spirits to see support in the comments.
Also appalled to see the obnoxious homophobia and ignorance plaguing people. “Oli identifies as a he. He has wicked style and refuses to conform to the societal norms regarding his fashion choices.” Lambert continued to defend and praise his partner, who works in the fashion industry: “He is beautiful, brave and daring.
He’s a leader not a follower. One of the many things I love about him! “We are very happy together and if the haters don’t like it, we don’t really give a f***.
