Singer Adam Lambert tore into homophobic trolls who targeted his partner in a photo of them together on a night out in West Hollywood in Los Angeles, California.

Since 2020, the Queen frontman and American Idol season 8 finalist has been dating Oliver Gliese, who works in the fashion industry.

They were spotted together with friends at the Hi Tops bar on August 4 in the trendy part of town known for its LGBTQ+ nightlife.

Photos online showed Lambert wearing a black outfit with a low v-neck and unbuttoned black shirt and Gliese in a black and white ensemble with a mesh shirt and cutoff denim shorts and silver jewelry.

Lambert's fans were happy to see the couple enjoying an evening together on swanky Santa Monica Boulevard on the Sunset Strip.

Others, however, were not as kind.

Homophobic trolls went after Gliese for his outfit, his gender and sexual identity.

Rather than ignoring and allowing the haters to continue leaving bigoted comments, Lambert laid into them and challenged them to be better people.

On Saturday, he wrote on Instagram story:

"Oli and I had a fun night out!"
"Lifts my spirits to see support in the comments."
"Also appalled to see the obnoxious homophobia and ignorance plaguing people [right now]."

The singer continued:

"Oli identifies as a he."
"He has wicked style and refuses to conform to societal norms regarding his fashion choices."
"He is beautiful and 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 really don't give a f'k!"

Lambert then demanded haters do better.

"Grow up and challenge yourself to explore tolerance."
"We are all just trying to stay happy and fulfilled with our lives."

He ended with:

"Chances are, if you're busy trolling us online, you're miserable in your own life and can't deal w[ith] your issues."

Fans applauded Lambert's post.








The couple's night out came a week after Gliese celebrated his 28th birthday with a star-studded bunny-themed party attended by their friends including Kate Beckinsale and Lil Nas X.

Lambert is scheduled to perform with Queen for their Rhapsody Tour which will begin in October 2023.

Sandra Lee, known as "Dr. Pimple Popper" on Lifetime, is well-known for her bedside manner, medical knowledge and ability to share her knowledge in an accessible way, and, of course, her unique approach to dermatological care.

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."

Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.

Trump's Border Czar Ripped For Hypocrisy After Telling Pope Leo To 'Stay Out Of Politics'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.

Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."
