At last night's 25th Annual GLAAD Media Awards in
L.A., Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart enjoyed a date
night while supporting a great cause.
The 44-year-old American Idol star, who was honored
with the Vanguard Award, and her man were quite the
cute couple while supporting LGBT rights.
Lopez hit the red carpet in a sexy blue and black dress
that showed off her legs. After taking photos, the singer
and Smart entered the dinner at the Beverly Hilton hotel
holding hands. Once inside, J.Lo immediately hugged
and chatted with Rita Moreno (her idol and the celeb
who handed Lopez her big award) before sitting down
for the show.
GLAAD awards host Ross Mathews kicked off the show
with a hilarious joke about wanting to have sex with
Lopez. "Honey, I'm gay but there's always room for
J.Lo!" Mathews said from the stage as Lopez laughed at
her dinner table with her arm around her man.
Later in the night, as Lopez accepted her award for
supporting the LGBT community, the singer opened up
about her late aunt Marisa, who was gay.
"I've always felt a tremendous love from the LGBT
community and the LGBT community has always
supported me and returned that love," Lopez said during
her acceptance speech. "Marisa was my cool aunt. She
was my mom's older sister and she lived in New York
City. I lived in the Bronx and she lived in Manhattan, it
was like worlds away! She wanted to be an actress and I
always wanted to be like her. Marisa grew up gay in a
time when it meant life could be very difficult and that
her struggles were mostly kept t herself."
Other stars at the bash included Lupita Nyong'o, Ellen
Page, Johnny Galecki, Eric Dane, Rebecca Gayheart,
Naomi Campbell, Laverne Cox, Tatiana Maslany and
Chaz Bono.
