But, Black says, that doesn’t mean he’s decided that he’s voting for Buttigieg. “I haven’t and I won’t for some time decide on who I will vote for in the primaries,” he said. Biden earned the loyalty of many LGBTQ donors in 2012, when at a private entertainment industry gathering he first CNN town hall in March, some viral social media moments and an appearance on “The Ellen Show,” he then connected with influential figures like film executivesand David Geffen, and Oprah Winfrey. He seemed to get that this kind of contact was essential to building support in an industry that thrives on personal relationships.
Of these, the event at the home of Murphy and his husband, David Miller, got the most attention. Its cohosts included a list of well-known names in the industry, such as producer Greg Berlanti, CAA partner Bryan Lourd, actor Matt Bomer and his husband, publicist Simon Halls, along with political consultant John Gile, a prominent LGBTQ fundraiser in Los Angeles.
