Variety on Tuesday endorsed Hillary Clinton as president for the first time in its 111-year history as it has never backed any presidential candidates before.
"We believe that Clinton is not only the best candidate for the job, but the only candidate," it said in an article announcing the endorsement. "In fact, it's hard to think of any presidential candidate with the depth of knowledge and public-service record she has.
"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."
The magazine said it backed Clinton for her outstanding work and activism on issues such as women's rights, LGBTQ community, gun control, climate change to name a few.
"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."
Variety also highlighted that Republican candidate Donald Trump was unfit for the White House, saying the real estate mogul "lacks the experience, knowledge and diplomacy to hold public office.
"His run for the presidency can be viewed as nothing more than a ploy to land another TV deal or launch a cable news channel so he can continue spewing his sexist, racist views."
