— -- Forget the red carpet. The stars strutted down the blue carpet Saturday night at the 27th GLAAD Media Awards in Beverly Hills.

Demi Lovato and "Orange Is the New Black" actress Ruby Rose were among the honorees at the ceremony, which will air on the Logo network Monday.

During her acceptance speech for the Vanguard Award, which was presented to her by Nick Jonas, Lovato said she was raised to accept people for who they are.
