Harris's commitment to the LGBTQ+ community was displayed during a Pride celebration at the vice president's residence, showcasing her long history of support since 2004, when she officiated some of the first same-sex marriages as San Francisco's District Attorney.
On July 26, 2024, Harris became the first sitting Vice President to appear on Ru Paul's Drag Race All Stars 9, demonstrating her enduring support for LGBTQ rights amid ongoing political attacks from the right.
Harris has energized the party's base with her campaign slogan 'A New Way Forward,' complemented by Beyoncé's 'Freedom,' highlighting her connection to the LGBTQ+ community and popular culture.
With the convention approaching, support for Harris was amplified through Zoom fundraising calls hosted by identity groups, including one led by Black gay and queer men, demonstrating the community's backing for her campaign.
