CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — As Democratic presidential hopefuls court support from voters by painting themselves as leaders on LGBT issues, one candidate would appear to have a distinct advantage: openly gay South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg.

But despite being part of their community, attendees at a GLAAD LGBTQ forum on Friday said that Buttigieg’s sexual orientation and potential to be the first openly gay presidential nominee does not guarantee support from LGBT voters.
