They received the prestigious Vanguard Award for their significant and continued promotion of acceptance of the LGBTQ community.


‘When Beyoncé and JAY-Z speak, the world becomes inspired and when it comes to LGBTQ people, their voices of acceptance have been heard loud and clear. We could not be prouder to stand with them to send a message of love.” – GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis


Beyoncé and JAY-Z gave an inspiring speech that had the crowd cheering. Beyoncé said, “Change starts with supporting the people closest to you.”
