Music superstars Beyonce and Jay-Z were awarded by advocacy group “GLAAD” as allies of “LGBTQ” acceptance. The couple received the Vanguard Award at the “GLAAD” Media Awards in Los Angeles.
Beyonce has always fought against laws that discriminate gay and transgender people and has included them in her videos.
This sensibility of Beyonce has a very autobiographical reason. She dedicated the honor to an uncle who she said helped raise her and her sister and was “the most fabulous gay man I’ve ever known” the famous singer said. His uncle witnessed his battle with HIV.
But also Jay-Z has something to talk about. Standing next to his wife on stage, Jay-Z praised his mother, Gloria Carter. The singer’s 2017 song “Smile” revealed that his mother was a lesbian.
“I get to follow in her footsteps of spreading love and acceptance,” the rapper said.
