Beyoncé started her portion of the speech by praising her late uncle Johnny, whom she described as most fabulous gay man she’s ever known. He was the one who helped raise the singer and her sister Solange, who both witnessed his battle with HIV – but also his brave and unapologetic approach to life.
“I am hoping that his struggles serve to open pathways for other young people to live more freely. LGBTQ rights are human rights. To choose who you love is your human right. How you identify and see yourself is your human right,” said Beyoncé.
