And I’m just so proud that I’ve stuck to that. This is a celebration for you."
In a 2019 acceptance speech for the Vanguard Award at the 30th Annual GLAAD Media Awards (an award she shared with husband Jay-Z), she referred to Uncle Jonny as “the most fabulous gay man” she had ever known.
“I want to dedicate this award to my uncle Jonny, the most fabulous gay man I ever knew, who helped raise me and my sister,” she said in the speech.
“He lived his truth.
“The amount of confidence and fearlessness it takes to do what maybe is not what your parents expect you to do or what society may think is different — to be brave and be different and to be yourself — is just so beautiful.”
“It’s what we all want to be at the end of the day,” she continued. Because as you're working up a sweat on the dance floor, Bey’s actually pushing you to chart a course to a better you:
If you don't seek it, you won't see it
That we all know (can't break my soul)
If you don't think it, you won't be it
That love ain't yours (can't break my soul)
Tryna fake it never makes it
That we all know (can't break my soul)
You can have the stress and not take less
Already it's clear that “Renaissance” has inspired the kind of self-love the artist told Pride Source she hoped to achieve with 2011’s “4.”
"I hope that I’ve given them confidence, and I hope that I’ve given them inspiration,” she told Azzopardi in the 2011 Pride Source interview.
I really knew like, ‘Okay, she absolutely has to know who I am.”
Though he’s not sure how his role on the tour came to fruition, he remembers someone from Bey’s team hitting him up to join them on tour. And it wasn't just when she was asked about girls and gays running the world together. It means a lot to a lot of people, and it was so nice to see that it meant something to Beyoncé.”
Over the course of the Renaissance World Tour, Aviance hosted drag shows and after-parties in various cities.
Continuously utilizing her platform, she emerges as a resolute advocate for the rights and visibility of LGBTQ+ individuals, employing her voice to magnify their struggles and triumphs.
Through her unwavering support and activism, Beyoncé not only champions equality but also fosters a climate of acceptance and empowerment for the LGBTQ+ community, embodying the essence of allyship and solidarity in the ongoing pursuit of justice and inclusivity.
Honoring Queer Culture
Beyoncé’s music, embraced as anthems of empowerment in gay bars, coupled with her vocal backing of LGBTQ+ artists, embodies a vibrant tribute to queer culture.
He was my godmother and the first person to expose me to a lot of the music and culture that serve as inspiration for this album," she wrote. It was desolate, there was nothing there. "Thank you to all of the pioneers who originate culture, to all of the fallen angels whose contributions have gone unrecognized for far too long.
Her support helps challenge prejudices and promotes a message of acceptance and equality.
Pride Source readers won’t be surprised to learn that, after some savvy Beyhive sleuthing, it's true: Beyoncé has lovingly dedicated her new “Renaissance” release to her gay uncle who died of AIDS-related illness.
Even in 2011, when Beyoncé gave this rare LGBTQ+ press interview to Pride Source while promoting her album “4,” the Beyhive was delighted to hear the megastar make it crystal clear that she has a lot of love for her LGBTQ+ audience.
LGBTQIA rights are human rights.”
Beyoncé’s mom Tina Knowles’ recent Instagram post, which features artist Mark Bradford and her dancing to the album's first single, “Break My Soul,” also touched on Beyoncé’s affection for Jonny.

“Mark and I bonded over our loved ones that we lost way too young,” Tina wrote in the post.
I work with hair, and I work with the technicians,” says Moaning. I’ve never stopped performing it. Amorphous made this discovery after seeing a video clip of dancers rehearsing with the mashup playing in the background.
“I remember freaking out about that, because I’m like, ‘Oh, my God, so that must mean that she knows who I am,’’ says Amorphous.
“I was struggling coming to terms with my sexuality or my identity, and I would sit in at the computer while my friends would go out during recess, or when my cousins were over to play video games, I would be on the computer creating and honing in my craft, whether that was music or film. Though a working relationship wouldn’t come to fruition for another five years, Bey kept Amorphous inspired.
The Beyhive also learns more about Bey’s childhood with her late Uncle Jonny, who inspired the Renaissance era, and her concerted efforts to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and ballroom culture.
In the liner notes of Beyoncé’s Renaissance album, Bey offers a dedication to the openly gay Jonny. “I just want everyone to become a better person, and I hope that when they see me perform they can live out their fantasies and see my work ethic and apply it to their lives and be confident and proud.”
