Rainbow Coalition: A-List LGBTQIA+ Stars Rally For Kamala Harris
In the lead-up to the US presidential election on 5 November, several famous faces have voiced their support for Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee for Vice President. Harris, who got the nod from President Joe Biden after he decided not to run again, is up against former Republican president Donald Trump.
Harris, once a prosecutor and senator from California, has a strong track record of supporting LGBTQIA+ rights. This stands in stark contrast to Trump’s time in office, which saw many LGBTQIA+ protections rolled back. A recent study shows that many transgender Americans are worried about the election’s outcome.

As the election draws near, it’s clear that Harris has strong support from various parts of the entertainment world. This backing could play a role in shaping public opinion as voters get ready to head to the polls.
