Chloe Grace Mortez has come out as gay while endorsing Kamala Harris in the 2024 US presidential election.
Mortez, who has publicly been a supporter of LGBTQ+ rights, has officially come out as gay in a social media post.
Sharing a photo of her ‘I voted early 2024’ sticker, the 27-year-old wrote: “I voted early and I voted for Kamala Harris. There is so much on the line this election. 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.
“I believe in the need for legal protections that protects the LGBTQ+ community as a gay woman. We need protections in this country and to have access to the care we need and deserve”
“SO… Are you voting early?”
Mortez has been previously linked to model Kate Harrison since 2018, but has never publicly come out.
The actress has previously spoken out about LGBTQ+ rights and the urgency for legal representation.
Speaking to The Independent in 2018, she said: “I don’t see myself as a homosexual, I don’t see myself as anything. These are all societal pressures that we’re being labelled as.”
“We’re all human, trying to be with the people that we fall in love with and be the best person that we can be.”
She further added, “But don’t assume people’s sexualities. And don’t project your own issues onto them. Why don’t we let people be who they wanna be?”
