Grooming the next puppet: Over 1,100 pro-LGBT political leaders endorse Kamala Harris for president

07/31/2024 / By Laura Harris

Over 1,100 pro-LGBT political leaders have endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris’ bid for the White House.

In a July 21 post on X, formerly Twitter, President Joe Biden finally yielded to pressure from his fellow Democrats. The 81-year-old Biden announced in his post that he would step aside as the Democratic Party’s nominee in the 2024 presidential race and endorsed Harris as his replacement.

A few days after the announcement, 1,100 pro-LGBT political leaders endorsed Harris and her bid for the White House.

The endorsement letter, reportedly signed by Hollywood celebrities and social media influencers, calls on Americans to unite behind Harris to further advance equality. The letter was organized by prominent LGBTQ+ groups, including Advocate for Transgender Equality, Alice B. Toklas LGBTQ Democratic Club, Equality California, the LGBTQ Victory Fund, LPAC, the National LGBTQ Task Force, and others. These organizations are supported by the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) and the Washington D.C. LGBTQ+ lobbying powerhouse.

“As advocates, elected officials, organizations, and community leaders serving millions of LGBTQ+ Americans and our allies across the country, we urge you to join us in this historic moment to advance equality by supporting Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign for President,” the letter begins.

The letter also calls Harris a “galvanizing trailblazer” in her commitment to LGBTQ+ rights, recounting her efforts to fight anti-LGBTQ+ hate crimes in San Francisco, working to end the gay and transgender “panic defense” in California courts and her refusal to defend the Proposition 8 referendum, which banned same-sex marriage in the state for several years. The full list of signatories has not yet been made public.

“The (LGBTQ+) community is sending a message loud and clear: we are united in support of the experienced, tough, pro-equality Vice President Kamala Harris and will do everything it takes to defeat Donald Trump and JD Vance,” Human Rights Campaign president Kelley Robinson said.

Harris launches her presidential campaign on Ru Paul’s Drag Show

In line with the endorsement, Harris seemingly launched her campaign on the season nine finale of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars.

The short video clip taped a few weeks ago showed the vice president joined by garish, cartoonish and outlandish show regulars. Harris passionately addressed the audience in a preview of the July 26 season nine finale, posted on X.

“Each day we are seeing our rights and freedoms under attack, including the right of everyone to be who they are, love who they love, openly and with pride. So, as we fight back against these attacks, let’s all remember: No one is alone. We are all in this together,” she said, quoting a popular song from Disney’s 2009 movie, High School Musical, a favorite of gay audiences. “Your vote is your power. So please make sure your voice is heard this November, and register to vote.”
