Less than 24 hours after Vice President Kamala Harris announced she would run for president following Joe Biden’s exit from the race, queer people flooded the internet with cheeky videos and memes about her candidacy. A supercut of Harris laughing, set to a Charli XCX song from the album “Brat,” quickly went viral, with more than 1.3 million views.
” Support for Harris’ candidacy extended offline to LGBTQ rights groups, including the Human Rights Campaign, the country’s largest LGBTQ advocacy organization. The group touted her work as attorney general of California to end the so-called gay/trans panic defense, which has allowed those accused of homicide to receive lesser sentences by saying they panicked after having found out a victim’s sexual orientation or gender identity.
