Jennifer Lawrence Toasts Orville Peck (And Roasts Mike Pence) at Fiery 2024 GLAAD Media Awards

Lawrence called the Canadian country artist her "favourite musician," during a night marked by political speeches and protests.

On Saturday (May 11), there was only one show on planet Earth that could boast more queer energy than the Eurovision Song Contest, and that was the 2024 GLAAD Media Awards in New York City at the Midtown Hilton Hotel.

And not unlike this year’s Eurovision in Malmö, Sweden, the event was not without protestors. A small group from ACT UP NY, accusing Israel of genocide against the Palestinian people, picketed outside the hotel’s entrance during the 35th annual GLAAD Media Awards. The protestors included queer Palestinians and organizers who have directly aided Gazan refugees in Egypt. More notably, at the top of the show itself, drag performer and trans advocate Chiquitita interrupted the opening monologue by host Ross Mathews to repeatedly declare “GLAAD is complicit in genocide” before being escorted out.
