The FireAid benefit concert was on track to stay focused on raising funds for those devastated by the Los Angeles wildfires—until pop star Pink decided she just couldn’t resist injecting some leftist virtue-signaling into the event, as reported by Breitbart.
Following her performance, as she introduced John Mayer, Pink felt compelled to veer off into identity politics.
“Ladies and gentlemen and every other gender that ABSOLUTELY exists,” she declared, earning a smattering of applause from the audience.
P!nk at last night’s Fire Aid:
“Ladies and gentlemen and every other gender that absolutely exists.”

The comment, dripping with the kind of progressive insistence that demands compliance, drew mixed reactions online.
Some hailed it as a bold and necessary statement (as they always do), while others pointed out how out of place it was at a charity event meant to help those affected by disaster, not push a political agenda.
At a charity concert for fire victims, Pink used the platform to shout out to “every other gender that absolutely exists.” Because clearly, what wildfire survivors need is a lecture on gender. Bravo, Pink, for focusing on what absolutely does NOT exist or matter.

Pink, whose career has often included moments of loud, performative activism, once again showed that, for some in Hollywood, every platform—no matter how solemn the occasion—is an opportunity to remind the world of their progressive credentials.
While Green Day, Stevie Nicks, Joan Jett, and Lady Gaga managed to keep their performances focused on the victims and relief efforts, Pink couldn’t help herself.
This kind of political grandstanding at charity events is nothing new. Celebrities frequently use their time in the spotlight to push their favored narratives, no matter how irrelevant they may be to the cause at hand.
The FireAid concert was meant to bring attention to families who lost everything in the wildfires, not to validate the ever-expanding list of gender identities.
For those watching at home or attending in person, it was a reminder that in today’s entertainment industry, even a disaster relief effort isn’t safe from the creeping influence of woke activism.
