Monetary goodwill for New York governor Andrew Cuomo continues to pour in from LGBT donors nationwide, TheNew York Times reports. On Friday, Michael S. Smith and James Costos, a gay couple in Los Angeles who have already "bundled" more than $500,000 in donations for President Obama's reelection campaign, will hold a Hollywood fund-raiser for Cuomo, seen by many as a potential 2016 presidential candidate, whose campaign war chest is already formidable. Smith is the current White House decorator; his partner is a vice-president at HBO. Chad Griffin, president of the American Foundation for Equal Rights, is a cohost at the $1,000-and-up L.A. event.

"He has delivered for us, and I'm sure that people will be willing to deliver for him in any way he asks."
