Chloe Grace Moretz, the 27-year-old star of “Kick-Ass,” came out as gay and endorsed Kamala Harris for US President. The Hollywood actor shared her decision on Instagram as she cast an early vote for the 2024 election.<\/p>\n
Moretz explained her support for Harris, focusing on women’s rights and LGBTQ+ protections. She said:<\/p>\n
“I voted early and I voted for Kamala Harris. There is so much on the line this election.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The actor stressed the importance of bodily autonomy for women. Moretz believes Harris will defend this right, stating:<\/p>\n
“I believe the government has no right over my body as a woman, and that the decisions over my body should come only from myself and my doctor. Kamala Harris will protect that for us.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
As a gay woman, Moretz also highlighted the need for LGBTQ+ protections:<\/p>\n
“I believe in the need for legal protections that protect the LGBTQ+ community as a gay woman. We need protections in this country and to have access to the care we need and deserve.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
LGBTQ+ rights have become a key issue in this election. About 38% of Americans consider these rights when voting, with 30% only supporting candidates who align with their views on the matter.<\/p>\n
Harris, the Democratic nominee for US President, has a long history of supporting LGBTQ+ rights. As San Francisco’s district attorney in 2004, she officiated some of the first same-sex marriages, though these were later overturned. During her time as California’s attorney general, Harris refused to defend Proposition 8, which banned same-sex marriage.<\/p>\n
Her record also includes creating a hate crime unit for LGBTQ+ youth and opposing the ‘panic defense’ in court. In the Senate, Harris pushed for anti-discrimination policies and backed Title IX expansions for LGBTQ+ students, though the Supreme Court blocked this effort.<\/p>\n
Harris’s running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, also has a strong record on LGBTQ+ advocacy. He’s supported gay-straight alliances in schools since the 1990s.<\/p>\n
The Republican stance on LGBTQ+ rights has shifted over time. While Donald Trump once supported domestic partnerships and pledged to protect the LGBTQ+ community in 2016, his administration rolled back several protections for transgender individuals.<\/p>\n
As the election approaches, Harris and Walz continue to campaign on their commitment to women’s and LGBTQ+ rights, with endorsements like Moretz’s adding star power to their message.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chloe Grace Moretz, the 27-year-old star of “Kick-Ass,” came out as gay and endorsed Kamala Harris for US…\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":346266,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/luxlux.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/346265"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/luxlux.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/luxlux.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/luxlux.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/luxlux.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=346265"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/luxlux.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/346265\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/luxlux.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/346266"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/luxlux.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=346265"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/luxlux.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=346265"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/luxlux.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=346265"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
