“Two years ago, I spoke about a girl called Mahsa Amini from Iran, who was murdered for not wearing her hijab” he said as he stood shirtless and sweating on stage.

“And no, it is not my prerogative to question somebody’s religion. But this community fights for equality and liberation throughout the f**king world” he continued to cheers from the crowd.

“What is going in Iran … this revolution is led by the f**king women!”

“For four days they have had their internet cut off, they have had their electricity cut off, they are in darkness [and] they are asking for our voice.”

“We have to be their f**king light right now. So speak, shout, post, because they are fighting for freedom.”

“They are fighting for their freedom, they are fighting for our freedom. Nobody is free until we are all f**king free” he concluded.
