APPROVED: Dustin Lance Black to endorse Herrera for SF mayor!

As he competes against a handful of other top-tier mayoral contenders for the city's LGBT vote, City Attorney Dennis Herrera's involvement in the fight for marriage equality continues to provide dividends for his campaign, according to Bay area Reporter.


This week both Dustin Lance Black, the Oscar-winning screenwriter of the movie Milk, about the late gay San Francisco Supervisor Harvey Milk, and one of the film's producers, Bruce Cohen, announced they were endorsing Herrera in the race. Joining the two gay Hollywood power players in backing Herrera is Chad Griffin, the gay political operative who co-founded the American Foundation for Equal Rights.
