She joked about the gay community conversion therapy and even took a jab at Pence’s personal life.

In her speech, Lawrence expressed her admiration for individuals who excel in their fields while still embracing their identities.

She humorously referenced her past attempts to “convert” a homosexual love interest, highlighting the inefficacy of conversion therapy.

With a direct message to Pence, she asserted that conversion therapy is not adequate, mocking his stance on the issue.

The audience reacted with delight as Lawrence continued to poke fun at Pence, suggesting that he might receive an unusual award for his supposed transformation. The star’s bold remarks garnered attention and sparked curiosity, prompting inquiries to Pence’s representatives for comment.

Pence, known for his conservative views on LGBTQ+ issues, has faced criticism from activists for his support of conversion therapy and opposition to gay marriage.

Lawrence’s speech echoed the sentiments of LGBTQ+ advocates, challenging Pence’s stance on these matters.

The GLAAD Media Awards ceremony provided a platform for Lawrence to share her friendship with Peck, whom she met at a party. She humorously recounted their journey from exchanging numbers to bonding over reality TV shows like “Housewives.”

Among the attendees at the gala were notable figures like Jennifer Hudson, Uma Thurman, and Don Lemon. The event showcased the support for LGBTQ+ rights and celebrated individuals who champion diversity and inclusion in media.
