Beyoncé and Jay-Z delivered an emotional speech after accepting the GLAAD Vanguard Award in Beverly Hills on Thursday.
The celebrity couple received the Vanguard Award for their continued support of the LGBTQ community.
"I want to dedicate this award to my uncle Johnny, the most fabulous gay man I have ever known, who helped raise me and my sister," Beyoncé said in her acceptance speech.
Beyonce's husband Jay-Z dedicated the award to his mother Gloria Carter, who recently came out as a lesbian.
"I want to honor my mother, who received the award last year," he said. "I get to follow in her footsteps of spreading love and acceptance and her beautiful speech at the end of the song 'Smile' and for her allowing me to tell her story," the rapper added.
