I’m excited to share that actress Chloë Grace Moretz has come out as a “gay woman” while endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris for the 2024 presidential election. In a powerful Instagram post, Moretz, 27, revealed her sexuality and her political stance, expressing her belief that “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,” the “Kick-Ass” star wrote, adding that she “believes in the need for legal protections that protect the LGBTQ+ community as a gay woman.” Moretz’s announcement marks a significant moment, as the actress has long been a vocal advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, having grown up with two gay brothers. In a 2018 interview with the Gay Times, she discussed her passion for supporting the community.
“I grew up fighting on their behalf because it broke my heart to see that yes, they can stand up for themselves, but people wouldn’t listen,” she said. The actress has also used her platform to shed light on important issues, such as when she starred in the 2018 film “The Miseducation of Cameron Post,” portraying a teenager sent to a gay conversion therapy camp.
Moretz’s political activism has been a throughline in her career, dating back to her appearance at the 2016 Democratic National Convention, where she rallied for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign alongside her then-boyfriend, Brooklyn Beckham.
Now, as the 2024 election approaches, Moretz is throwing her support behind Vice President Harris, whose own historic run as the first female, first Black, and first South Asian American to hold the office has made her a symbol of progress for many. “There is so much on the line this election,” Moretz wrote in her Instagram post, urging her 24 million followers to get out and vote.
The actress’s decision to come out as a gay woman in the context of her political endorsement is a powerful statement, reflecting the deep connections between personal identity, civic engagement, and the fight for equality.
Moretz’s openness about her sexuality comes after years of speculation and rumors surrounding her romantic life. Fans have speculated about a possible engagement since they spotted her kissing model Kate Harrison in 2018.
Now, by proudly declaring her identity as a “gay woman,” Moretz is controlling the narrative and using her platform to advocate for the LGBTQ+ community and the issues that matter most to her.
Moretz’s willingness to be vulnerable and authentic inspires me as a news reporter, particularly in the high-stakes arena of electoral politics. Her message serves as a reminder of the inextricable link between our personal identities and civic responsibilities, and the power of using one’s voice for both self-expression and social change.
With the 2024 election on the horizon, Moretz’s endorsement of Kamala Harris and her declaration of her identity as a “gay woman” are sure to resonate with her millions of followers and beyond. Her courage and conviction in standing up for her values are a testament to the transformative power of celebrity activism and the importance of representation in the political sphere.
