Harris has a history of supporting LGBTQ equality that goes back at least 20 years, to her days as San Francisco’s district attorney, when she officiated at some of the first legal same-sex weddings in the U.S. While those marriages were later nullified by a California Supreme Court ruling, when the U.S. Supreme Court issued its Obergefell marriage equality ruling, then state Attorney General Harris was once again in the forefront, officiating at weddings and calling clerks who balked at issuing the licenses to let them know they were legally required to do so.
Also as California AG, Harris led efforts to ban “gay panic” and “trans panic” defenses in criminal cases. As a U.S. senator, she has supported efforts to enact protections for the LGBTQ community, including the Equality Act and the Respect for Marriage Act.
Democrat Tim Walz, during his time as a high school teacher and football coach, was the faculty advisor for his school’s gay-straight alliance, and the students there remember him fondly as a staunch ally who was supportive and accepting of everyone.
That is why Leslie Media is endorsing Kamala Harris for president and Tim Walz for vice president.
