'I am proud of myself. I'm finally happy to be me.'
, and while there are various contributing factors, family rejection — which Dedivanovic touched on in his speech — is one.
In a video tribute shown before he received the award, his mother and sister both shared that they tried to deter him from pursuing a career in makeup early on. But during Dedivanovic's most recent conversation with his mother, she made it clear she supports him fully. "She looked at me with her beautiful green eyes, and I could feel her heart breaking," he said on stage. "She said, 'Mario, from this day forward, you are never again to live in shame or fear and to be afraid of who you are and what you think and who you love, because you are perfect. You are beautiful, you are powerful, and no one can ever say or do anything to take that away from you.
When he woke up the next morning, Dedivanovic said he started to feel the slight glow of that light he manifested 20 years ago. And when he came out as gay on stage, he felt its full brightness. "It's pouring from my soul, around my body, and it's mine," he said. "I can now live the life that I deserve and right now I feel true happiness because, for once, I can finally breathe, and I can accept this beautiful honor, and I am proud of myself.
