Jennifer Lawrence Takes Mike Pence to Task Over Conversion Therapy
Jennifer Lawrence has chilled out a little since the peak of her self-deprecating relatable-girl interview era, but she can still be relied upon to deliver some key zingers when it matters. On Saturday, for example, Lawrence delivered a speech at the GLAAD Awards in New York City in which she made her disdain for former Vice President Mike Pence very obvious. “He’s in New York tonight... receiving a Kid’s Choice Award for weirdest dick,” she told the audience, breaking into laughter. “I didn’t write that one.”
“Hi gays,” was how Lawrence, who was attending the GLAAD event to honor queer country star Orville Peck, began her speech. “I love seeing so many humans who can top their field while still being power bottoms.”
“I love the gay community. In fact, I was in love with a homosexual. I tried to convert him for years, but now I know conversion therapy doesn’t work,” she said. “Did you hear me, Mike Pence? I said conversion therapy isn’t real, even though I know you think it worked on you.”
