Jennifer Lawrence brought the house down with her irreverent and comically crude remarks about former Vice President Mike Pence at the GLAAD Media Awards on Saturday, leaving the audience in stitches.

The Hollywood star delivered her profanity-laden speech while presenting the Vito Russo Award to country musician Orville Peck, showcasing her signature wit and humor.

In her address, Jennifer Lawrence expressed her admiration for the LGBTQ+ community, joking about the dynamics of power and submission, saying she “loved seeing so many humans who can top their field while still power bottoming.” She also quipped about not needing mace in a room filled with men, earning uproarious laughter from the crowd.

Lawrence then took a swipe at Pence’s controversial stance on conversion therapy, sharing a personal anecdote about her “first love,” a homosexual whom she humorously attempted to “convert” for years. She emphasized that conversion therapy doesn’t work, directing her message pointedly at Pence with a playful jab.

The actress didn’t hold back in poking fun at the former Indiana governor, debunking the notion of conversion therapy while teasing him about receiving a Kids’ Choice Award for “weirdest d - - k” in New York. The audience erupted in laughter at Lawrence’s witty remarks, showcasing her knack for delivering comedic punches.

Pence, known for his conservative views on LGBTQ+ rights, has faced criticism for his support of conversion therapy and opposition to same-sex marriage. Lawrence’s playful ribbing of Pence adds to the list of public figures who have challenged his stance on LGBTQ+ issues.

Lawrence’s humorous roast of Pence underscored the event’s spirit of inclusivity and acceptance, reinforcing the importance of standing up for LGBTQ+ rights and celebrating diversity in all its forms.
