Sam Smith was being fast-shamed on social media but his fans came to his defence. Images via Instagram: @samsmith
Singer-songwriter Sam Smith has been subject to bullies on social media but their fans would not have none of it because they have been shining a lot these days. The non-binary, genderqueer uses they/them as pronouns.

According to Hollywood Life, online trolls tried to attack Sam and their weight after the Unholy singer wore a glittery jumpsuit to perform at Capital's Jingle Bell Ball in London on 10 December.

SAM SMITH'S JUMPSUIT SIMILAR TO HARRY STYLES' The publication says that the jumpsuit was similar to the Harry Styles previously wore in concert. But while Harry was praised for his look, Sam was cruelly ridiculed and attacked.

It's actually gross constantly seeing people tear into Sam Smith for their appearance when there's a lot of us, myself included, who have a similar body type to them. God forbid a queer person dresses/expresses themself unapologetically, apparently only thin people are allowed, said Sam's fan.

The double standards between Sam and Harry was noted by a different fan, who said on Twitter, Sam Smith is a gay nonbinary performer who has been doing this long before Harry yet there were articles and tweets calling Harry a gay icon.' Lets not forget to mention Sam is plus-sized. Y'all just hate queer and fat ppl reports the publication.

And you sit on here hiding behind the avatar of a celeb, spewing hate when you are in fact no better than the people you aim to hold accountable and/or get cancelled on a daily basis .
