Where does Kamala Harris stand on LGBTQ+ rights, and does she support the queer community?
Following president Joe Bidens decision to not seek re-election, all eyes are firmly on vice-president Kamala Harris and her presidential bid, with many LGBTQ+ people wondering how supportive she is of their rights.

In the wake of continued concerns over his physical health and age, Biden announced on Sunday (21 July) that he would not be seeking a second term in the White House. In a letter on social media, he offered his full support and endorsement for Harris to be the Democrats nominee to face former president Donald Trump in November.Its time to come together and beat Trump, he wrote. Lets do this.
In response, Harris said she was honoured to have the presidents backing, and intended to earn and win this nomination, adding: I will do everything in my power to unite the Democratic party and our nation to defeat Donald Trump and his extreme Project 2025 agenda.
But what do we know about her when it comes to issues affecting the queer community?

Edited to add: Plus, with his intellect, theyll (justifiably) feel inferior and outmatched. This happens every time hes on Fox News! Hes always the smartest, most well-prepared person in the room, and can eviscerate an opponent like no otherand it comes gift-wrapped with a smile. So epic! Love his style!
