Scroll To Top

Gay couple Justin Moore and Nick Grant, who have huge followings on YouTube and Instagram, are deploying their popularity to promote political awareness.

The two, plus a diverse group of young people, recently interviewed Democratic National Committee chairman Tom Perez about the midterm election, the Democratic Party platform, and the party's IWillVote campaign.

"America's youth are leading the conversation about creating change and getting involved like never before," said Lucas Acosta, DNC director of LGBTQ media. "They're organizing marches and rallies across the country and showing up to demand action from their elected officials. And more and more, they're making the decision to take matters into their own hands and run for office themselves.

Watch part 1 of the group's interview with Perez below. Parts 2 and 3 will be posted in the next few days.

Trudy Ring is The Advocate’s senior politics editor and copy chief. She has been a reporter and editor for daily newspapers and LGBTQ+ weeklies/monthlies, trade magazines, and reference books. She is a political junkie who thinks even the wonkiest details are fascinating, and she always loves to see political candidates who are groundbreaking in some way. She enjoys writing about other topics as well, including religion (she’s interested in what people believe and why), literature, theater, and film. Trudy is a proud “old movie weirdo” and loves the Hollywood films of the 1930s and ’40s above all others. Other interests include classic rock music (Bruce Springsteen rules!) and history. Oh, and she was a Jeopardy! contestant back in 1998 and won two games. Not up there with Amy Schneider, but Trudy still takes pride in this achievement.
