Gaga was introduced by the family of Jamey Rodemeyer, the gay teen who committed suicide in September after years of being bullied. Gaga has paid tribute to him in the past, including at September's iHeartRadio music festival in Las Vegas. The singer has repeatedly said she wants to make bullying a hate crime.

"This award means more to me than any Grammy I could ever win," the singer said in accepting her award.
