In a significant personal revelation, actress Chloë Grace Moretz has publicly identified as a "gay woman" while expressing her support for Kamala Harris in the upcoming 2024 presidential election. Just days before Election Day, Moretz took to Instagram to share her early voting experience and articulate her reasons for backing the Democratic candidate.
A vote for autonomy and rights
Moretz shared her voting decision alongside a photo of an "I voted early" sticker, stating, "There is so much on the line this election." She emphasized her belief in individual rights, particularly regarding women's autonomy over their bodies. "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," she wrote.
Moretz comes out as gay and advocates for LGBTQ+ protections
The actress further opened up about her sexuality, highlighting the necessity for legal protections for the LGBTQ+ community. "I believe in the need for legal protections that [protect] the LGBTQ+ community as a gay woman," Moretz wrote. She stressed the importance of access to necessary care and protections for the community.
In her post, Moretz urged her over 24 million Instagram followers to participate in early voting. She encouraged them to plan their visit to the polling stations, suggesting resources like IWillVote.com to facilitate the process.
Public and private life
This announcement marks the first time Moretz has publicly addressed her sexuality, despite being romantically linked to model Kate Harrison since 2018. The couple, often seen together and featured on each other's social media, was recently spotted wearing matching rings at Disneyland, sparking further public interest.
Chloë Grace Moretz, who began her acting career at just 7 years old, is known for maintaining privacy in her personal life. However, she has consistently advocated for LGBTQ+ rights and participated in protests supporting these causes. Her role in the 2018 film 'The Miseducation of Cameron Post' brought attention to the issue of conversion therapy and the representation of LGBTQ+ characters in media.

She quoted a line from the movie, "I think it comes down to the line that's in the movie. [My character] says, 'I don't see myself as a homosexual. I don't see myself as anything.'"
