Sam Smith has no time for homophobia.
The 23-year-old singer-songwriter, who came out last year (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=2014/05/28/sam-smith-gay_n_5404783.html), hit back at Instagram user "Gay Sam Smith," whose profile includes a poem that refers to Smith as a "fag," ET reports (http://www.etonline.com/news/169818_sam_smith_shares_homophobic_poem_says_he_no t_offended/).
On Tuesday, the Grammy winner (http://www.grammy.com/videos/sam-smith-wins-record-of-the-year) shared an image of the account, which has a mere five followers, on his own Instagram (https://instagram.com/samsmithworld/):
This genuinely doesn't offend me, coz I'm way too tick skinned when it comes to this kind of shit. BUT I just wanted to share this with everyone, so you can see how homophobia is still SO PRESENT in our society!! (https://instagram.com/p/6QsRAuR2U7/)

"This genuinely doesn't offend me, coz I'm way too [thick] skinned when it comes to this kind of sh**," he wrote. "BUT I just wanted to share this with everyone, so you can see how homophobia is still SO PRESENT in our society!!"
The newly svelte star (http://www.eonline.com/news/678094/sam-smith-is-so-skinny-singer-shows-off-major-weight-loss-and-painful-sunburn-on-instagram) has spoken out against homophobia in the past. Earlier this year, he discussed how remarks about his weight (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=2015/01/26/sam-smith-howard-stern-_n_6547820.html) upset him more than those about his sexuality in an interview on the Australian TV show, "A Current Affair (http://aca.ninemsn.com.au/)."
"If someone calls me a faggot, it's like, 'I am gay and I'm proud to be gay,' so there's no issues," he said. "But if someone calls you fat, that's something I want to change (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=2015/04/20/sam-smith-weight_n_7100418.html). That's something I can change, so that affects me more."
In an interview with Ellen DeGeneres (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=2014/12/02/sam-smith-ellen-degeneres_n_6254928.html) last year, Smith joked that he'd initially come out "when I was, like, four years old," but made a specific point to do so in the media before the release of his smash debut album, "In The Lonely Hour (http://www.amazon.com/Lonely-Hour-Deluxe-Sam-Smith/dp/B00H3GZMIE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1439392873&sr=8-1&keywords=In+The+Lonely+Hour)."
"I kind of felt like I just had to mention it before I released my record," he told DeGeneres at the time. "If I did it afterwards, people probably would've thought I was lying just to sell records, which wasn't the case."
