Jennifer Lawrence is attacking the vice president Mike Pence about his views on the LGBTQ community, but said he should take home an award… although this one isn’t for the mantle.
GLAAD
The Oscar-winning actress took the podium at the GLAAD Media Awards to announce that country music star Orville Peck was this year’s winner of the Vito Russo Award — but she had to tell a few jokes first… one aimed squarely at Pence’s stance on conversion therapy for LGBTQ youth.
Jennifer began by telling the audience – which included Jennifer Hudson, Uma Thurman It is Dom Limão – she “loved seeing so many humans who manage to reach the top of their field and at the same time reach rock bottom.”
She also joked that it was nice to be in a room full of men without needing mace.
She then revealed that her first love was a “homosexual” who, for years, she tried to convert, but it didn’t work, shouting: “Did you hear me, Mike Pence?”
She went on to say that conversion therapy wasn’t real, even though Pence thought it worked for him, and then her joke – Pence was busy winning the “Kids’ Choice Award for Weirdest Idiot.”
Of course, Jennifer’s joke was a double shot – one for Pence and one for Nickelodeon… was examined for sexualizing young actors with the release of the documentary series ‘Quiet On Set’.
As a staunch Republican, Pence is a strong supporter of conversion therapy and also opposes gay marriage. Translation: he’s ready for the picking if you need a target at any LGBTQ event.
And that’s exactly what J. Law did!
