In an emotional speech during the GLAAD Media Awards in Los Angeles on Thursday night, Oprah Winfrey paid a tearful tribute to her late brother, Jeffrey Lee, who died from AIDS in 1989 when he was 29. “Growing up at the time we did, in the community that we did, we didn’t have the language to understand or to speak about sexuality and gender in the way that we do now,” said Winfrey, who was accepting the advocacy group’s Vanguard Award for LGBTQ allyship.
” Winfrey then recalled returning to Williamson more than two decades later, in 2010, to revisit that community and 'help people confront their beliefs around homosexuality and saw both the personal growth and the lack of personal growth that had taken place.” Almost a decade after her first trip to Williamson, Winfrey said, she decided to appear on a historic episode of Ellen DeGeneres’ sitcom, “Ellen,” in 1997.
