Happy birthday to Olly Alexander! 🎉
The singer, songwriter and actor gave an emotional speech to the LGBTQ+ community while performing at Glastonbury in 2016 with Years & Years.
"As queer people, we know what it’s like to be scared. We know what it’s like to live with fear; it’s part of our everyday life. Tonight, Glastonbury, I would like to ask you to join me, on Pride weekend, and say, ‘No thank you, fear.’ Just say, ‘bye, fear, bye!'," he said.
"Shove a rainbow in fear’s face," Alexander continued. "What I have to say is, ‘I’m here, I’m queer and, yes, sometimes I’m afraid – but I am never ashamed because I am proud of who I am.'"
