Chloe Grace Moretz comes out as gay while supporting Harris

Actress Chloe Grace Moretz has publicly come out as gay while supporting Kamala Harris for president.

The 27-year-old Hollywood star who is best known for her roles in Kick ass And Carriecasually confirmed her sexuality when she revealed that she had already cast her vote for Harris before Election Day on Tuesday (November 5).

Moretz shared an image on Instagram of a sticker that read “I voted early” and explained why Harris would “protect” her rights as a queer woman if the Democratic candidate wins office.

“I voted early and voted for Kamala Harris,” Moretz told her 24 million followers. “There is so much at stake in this election. I believe that the government has no right over my body as a woman and that decisions about my body should ONLY be mine and my doctor's.

“Kamala Harris will protect this for us.”

The film star confirmed her sexuality and added: “I believe in the need for legal protections that protect the LGBTQ+ community as a gay woman. “We need protection in this country and access to the care we need and deserve.”

Moretz, who previously described herself as an “advocate and ally” of the LGBT+ community, has two gay brothers and starred in the 2018 gay conversion therapy drama The Malformation of Cameron Postbased on the 2012 novel by Emily M. Danforth.

Speaking to the BBC at the time, Moretz recalled how she and her siblings grew up in the “very Christian Baptist town” of Rome, Georgia.

“When my brothers came out, it was pretty shocking to the community,” she explained. “We were very blessed to have my mother, who is incredibly progressive. But nonetheless, they struggled with a lot of self-loathing when they came out.

“And they tried – which is very common in the community we grew up in – to 'pray away' the gays on their own before they came out to the family, which I wasn't aware of at the time.”

Kamala Harris and her Republican rival Donald Trump are launching a final campaign in key swing states before voting in the US presidential race ends on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, new research has shown that LGBTQ+ voters in four states could play a crucial role in deciding which candidate wins the Oval Office in January 2025.
