Chloë Grace Moretz opened up about her sexuality as she endorsed Kamala Harris for president over the weekend.
The “Neighbors 2” actress, 27, came out as “a gay woman” in her political Instagram post.
“I voted early and I voted for Kamala Harris,” Moretz wrote, alongside a photo of a red, white and blue “I Voted Early 2024” sticker.
“There is so much on the line this election,” she continued. “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.”
Moretz went on, “I believe in the need for legal protections that protects the LGBTQ+ community as a gay woman. We need protections in this country and to have access to the care we need and deserve.”
The former child actress ended her message by urging her followers to vote in the election.
Moretz turned the comments section off on her post. She has over 24 million followers on the social media platform.
Back in 2018, Moretz was seen kissing model Kate Harrison after a dinner date at Nobu Malibu in California. Afterward, they went to Soho House and left the club arm-in-arm before stopping for another makeout session, Page Six reported at the time.
The pair appear to still be dating, as they’ve posted each other on Instagram.
Moretz previously dated Brooklyn Beckham, David Beckham and Victoria Beckham’s son, from 2014 to 2018.
“Break-ups are hard across the board,” the “Kick-Ass” star told The Sunday Times’ Style magazine after the split. When asked if she had a message for her ex-boyfriend, Moretz said, “I want nothing to be said.”
Beckham is now married to actress Nicola Peltz. They tied the knot in April 2022 at the Peltz family’s multimillion-dollar home in Palm Beach, Florida.
Over the years, Moretz has been very politically active. In 2016, she attended the Democratic National Convention (with Beckham) in support of Hilary Clinton, who went on to lose the election that year to Donald Trump.
Moretz is particularly passionate about LGBTQ rights, since both of her brothers are gay.
“I was really blessed because I grew up so open to it,” she said about being an ally in a 2018 interview with the Gay Times. “I grew up fighting on their behalf because it broke my heart to see that yes, they can stand up for themselves, but people wouldn’t listen.”
“So I took it upon myself with their blessing to go out there and talk about it, and to tell people, ‘Hey, being gay is not a big deal at all. But be proud and be out there and raise the flag high. Be a part of the community, and be for the community,'” she continued. “So it was never a question to me whether or not I was ever going to be an advocate, and what that meant to my heart and how it shaped me.”
Moretz also shared the rules she lives by when it comes to supporting the LGBTQ community.
“First and foremost, don’t take stories,” she said. “Let other people’s stories stand for themselves. Many people try to make these stories about themselves, and it’s like, you’re not a saviour. As an advocate, you’re not a savior, you’re in no way shape or form saving anyone, but you just need to open your ears and listen.”
