During a stop in Sydney, Australia on her worldwide tour for The Truth About Love, fierce straight ally and Grammy-winning rocker Pink proudly waved a rainbow flag around the stage when a fan handed it to her.
That prompted the homophobic bigots on Twitter to turn their ire toward Pink, hurling the nastiest slurs they could think of — which evidently included calling the androgynous, married mother of one a "lesbian." Gasp!
Here's how Pink responded, taking a page from Miley Cyrus, who said she considered being called a lesbian a compliment:
Fun fact:when you twitter me and say "you're a lesbian" it really doesn't bother me at all. It's a compliment. Most of my fav ppl are, so...

Making sure she got the last word, Pink added a snarky little challenge to the haters:
I'm sure all of you hate filled humans can come up with something a little worse than that?!? Come on- be creative. You have 140 characters!
