Garden State Equality Action Fund, the state’s oldest and most influential LGBTQ+ grassroots advocacy group, is backing Kamala Harris for the Democratic presidential nomination.
“Kamala Harris has shown through her actions and her words that she is a true ally to the LGBTQ+ community,” said Jeannine Frisby LaRue , the organization’s chair. “Her commitment to equality and justice is personal just like mine, and we are confident she will continue to champion our rights as President.”
Christian Fuscarino, the executive director of Garden State Equality, said that endorsing Harris is a “natural progression” for his organization and that Harris has a vision of inclusivity.
“Her proven commitment to equality makes her the best choice to continue and expand upon the progress we’ve seen here in New Jersey,” said Fuscarino.
Garden State Equality Action Fund praised Harris’ support of marriage equality, and her sponsorship of the Equality Act while serving in the U.S. Senate.
