“In fact, it’s hard to think of any presidential candidate with the depth of knowledge and public-service record she has,” it added.

“The time has come to elect our first female president. Women, young and old, are ready to have someone in the highest office who will protect their rights, champion their causes, and serve as a role model for this and future generations.”

Variety said it is backing Clinton, the Democratic nominee, for her longstanding work helping minorities and her activism on issues such as gun control.

“Clinton has spent her entire life as a social-justice activist, fighting for the rights of women, children, families, the disabled, farmers, veterans and the LGBTQ community,” it said.

“She has taken on such crucial issues as climate change, racial justice and the epidemic of gun violence. She’s a global diplomat who has traveled extensively to forge ties with foreign leaders.”
