Sir Paul McCartney made any such statement refusing to celebrate Pride Month or calling it “a woke invention.” The quote attributed to him — “the woke do not deserve to be commemorated” — appears to be entirely fabricated and goes against McCartney’s long-standing history of advocating for love, peace, and inclusion.

Sir Paul McCartney made any such statement refusing to celebrate Pride Month or calling it “a woke invention.” The quote attributed to him — “the woke do not deserve to be commemorated” — appears to be entirely fabricated and goes against McCartney’s long-standing history of advocating for love, peace, and inclusion.

 

Sir Paul McCartney, a global icon and former Beatle, has consistently supported progressive values throughout his decades-long career. He has spoken out in favor of LGBTQ+ rights, animal welfare, environmental causes, and humanitarian efforts. While he may not always issue direct public statements for every observance, there is no public record or interview in which he criticized Pride Month or aligned with anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric.

 

Claims like these often originate from satirical or misleading websites or may be part of misinformation campaigns aimed at stirring division. It is crucial to verify such sensational reports with trusted news sources before sharing them, especially when they concern public figures with reputations built on messages of unity and acceptance.

 

In the real world, Pride Month continues to be celebrated globally, honoring the struggles and achievements of the LGBTQ+ community. Celebrities, artists, and musicians—including many of McCartney’s peers—have shown support in various ways, from performances to social media solidarity.

 

Unless and until a reliable source confirms such a statement from Paul McCartney himself, this report should be considered false and misleading.

 

Always fact-check “breaking news” with caution — especially when it contradicts a person’s long-standing public values.
