Chloë Grace Moretz addresses her sexuality for the first time as she endorses Kamala Harris

• Chloë Grace Moretz opened up about her sexuality as she endorsed Kamala Harris.
• “I believe in the need for legal protections that protects the LGBTQ+ community as a gay woman,” Moretz said.
• Harris has a record of supporting LGBTQ+ rights.

Chloë Grace Moretz opened up about her sexuality in an Instagram post in which she endorsed Kamala Harris ahead of Tuesday’s presidential election.

The 27-year-old actor, best known for her roles in “Kick-Ass,” “Carrie,” and “The Equalizer,” took to social media on Saturday to announce that she had voted for the Democratic presidential candidate.

Alongside a photo of an “I Voted Early” sticker, Moretz shared her reasons while addressing her sexuality publicly for the first time.

“I voted early and I voted for Kamala Harris. There is so much on the line this election,” Moretz wrote.

“I believe in the need for legal protections that protects the LGBTQ+ community as a gay woman,” she added. “We need protections in this country and to have access to the care we need and deserve.”

Moretz ended her post by urging her more than 24 million Instagram followers to get to the polls.

While Moretz hasn’t spoken about her sexuality in the past, she has been romantically linked to model Kate Harrison since 2018.

People reported in April that the pair were both seen wearing rings on their left ring fingers while on a visit to Disneyland, leading to engagement speculation.

Moretz was previously in a relationship with Brooklyn Beckham, the eldest son of fashion designer and singer Victoria Beckham and soccer star David Beckham.

Harris has a record of supporting LGBTQ+ rights during her career.

Harris supported the legalization of same-sex marriage and performed some of the US’s first such ceremonies in 2004 when she was the district attorney of San Francisco.

As DA, she also established a hate crimes unit to look into crimes against LGBTQ+ youth.

However, in 2015, as California Attorney General, Harris sought to deny gender-affirmation surgery to a trans prisoner, arguing that it was not “immediately necessary.”

Harris’ running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, has also long been a supporter of LGBTQ+ rights.
