Democrats head to Chicago for the party’s national convention, which will feature Vice President Kamala Harris.

She is expected to become the first Black and South Asian woman to receive a major party nomination.

The convention will also feature many Black queer celebrities, from journalists to social media influencers.

Harris has a long history of support for the LGBTQ+ community, dating back to her days officiating some of the first same-sex marriages in the country in 2004 as San Francisco’s District Attorney.

Her commitment to the LGBTQ+ community was on full display during a Pride celebration at the vice president’s residence in Washington, D.C., this past June.
