Kamala Harris to Attend Pride Month Presidential Campaign Fundraiser in Los Angeles; Idina Menzel to Perform (EXCLUSIVE)
variety.comMarc Malkin Senior Editor, Culture and Events Kamala Harris will be in Los Angeles on June 29 for a Pride month Biden-Harris fundraiser that is already attracting some of Hollywood’s most powerful players and creatives.
I can exclusively report that invites are expected to go out today for what’s officially being billed as a “Pride Garden Party With Vice President Kamala Harris.” Tony winner Idina Menzel will perform during the afternoon program. “Join us for a Pride month Garden Party marking the anniversary of the end of Poposition 8 and the historic return of marriage equality to California!” the invite reads. “This unforgettable event will celebrate Vice President Harris’ bold leadership and trailblazing work to help win that historic fight.
Now, more than ever, we must ensure President Biden and Vice President Harris can continue championing the freedom of every American to love who they love and be who they are, openly and with pride.” Harris made history during Valentine’s Day weekend in 2004 when she defied legal restrictions to officiate same-sex-marriages while she was the district attorney of San Francisco.
Garden Party event chairs include Chad Griffin and Charlie Joughin, Michele and Rob Reiner, Dustin Lance Black, Helen and Ted Boutrous (one of the lead attorneys in the Prop 8 case) and Donna and Michael Weinholtz.
