In fact, I was in love with a homosexual. I tried to convert him for years, but now I know conversion therapy doesn’t work,” she said.“Did you hear me, Mike Pence?
I said conversion therapy isn’t real, even though I know you think it worked on you.”That went down particularly well with the audience.“He’s in New York tonight,” Lawrence continued. “He’s receiving a Kid’s Choice Award for weirdest d*ck.”Collecting his award, Peck said, “I’m one of many of us here who have felt excluded or held back because of who we are.” The country star observed how LGBTQ+ people often manage to “turn tragedy into art, humor and culture.”A post shared by GLAAD (@glaad)Another of Saturday’s recipients was Jennifer Hudson, who collected the Excellence in Media Award from Laverne Cox.
Hudson was highlighted for an episode of her show where she gave a surprise, $10,000 check to an HIV activist. A post shared by GLAAD (@glaad)Ross Mathews hosted the ceremony, which was briefly interrupted at the very beginning by a pro-Palestinian supporter.
