“I’m trying not to be too emotional, and I’m trying to just receive this night,” she said while taking the stage. “I want to thank God for protecting me. I’d like to thank my uncle Jonny, who’s not here, but he’s here in spirit.”
She also thanked her family before concluding, “I’d like to thank the queer community for your love and for inventing this genre.”
And that’s history right there.
