🎃 Happy Halloween! 🎃

🇺🇸 Well, it's less than a week before the 2024 election. While some media outlets decided at the last minute not to endorse a presidential candidate, The Advocate has fully endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee. She will be the most pro-LGBTQ+ president in U.S. history if elected. That's just fact. Harris has championed the queer community for decades now. She will continue to fight for LGBTQ+ rights as president.

🌈 Harris is exponentially better on every issue than her Republican opponent, Donald Trump — issues including reproductive freedom, the economy, and climate change. Her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, is a strong LGBTQ+ ally too, something that certainly cannot be said of Trump’s vice-presidential pick, U.S. Sen. JD Vance. 🇺🇸

In other news:

• Ted Cruz used a trans wrestler in an attack ad without permission. Now, Mack Beggs is taking legal action
• Two gay men, a DJ and a model, were assaulted in D.C. on the same night. Police need info
• TV stations were forced to air vile anti-trans, homophobic ads so graphic they got on-air content warnings

Onward and upward,
