Anon. 6:26, I was similarly met with derision when I mentioned the same thing to a local Democrat. A lot of people seemed to know he was gay, but Democratic partisans tended to react negatively when folks brought it up. They wanted to keep him in the closet as long as they could until they were satisfied it would play out the way they wanted it to play out.

A couple of years ago I was talking to a very active Democrat always trying to be seen and heard from as much as possible in Indianapolis. The topic of Pete Buttigieg came up in a discussion of possible statewide candidates. I mentioned that I had it on pretty good authority that Buttigieg was gay. This individual got upset and accused me of trying to smear Buttigieg. Imagine my reaction when I saw this individual interviewed on a local TV news station discussing his pleasure at Buttigieg coming out of the closet.

we are at a point in time where coming out and acknowledging you're gay can actually boost your career rather than hinder it.

either way, knowing he's a democrat makes me think he's corrupt, dishonest, incompetent, and a fraud like the rest of them, gay or not.

Buttigieg supported and signed into law an ordinance protecting gays from discrimination so he wasn't being hypocritical in any public policy position of which I'm aware.

Because he's remarkable lesser men feel the need to bring him down. Troll on, lesser men, troll on.

Well done, Mayor Pete! Anon 9:42: Such a masterful display of logic - calling someone a hypocritical phony because they were completely honest.

I have it on good authority that his parents are going on The Today Show stating that he was actually born straight!!

he's also a big time hypocritical phony.

He served in Afghanistan doing intelligence work, just part of his remarkable story. He was valedictorian and class president of his graduating class at St. Joseph's High School in South Bend. That year, he also won the national John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Essay Contest. At Harvard, where he graduated in 2004, Buttigieg was president of the Institute of Politics Student Advisory Committee. In 2005, he headed to Oxford University to study politics, philosophy and economics as a Rhodes Scholar. He’s supposed to be a great guy. Being gay is no detriment. He will probably spend his life serving Indiana and his country. American patriots. We need more just like him.

I wonder if Freedom Indiana, Katie Blair, Megan Roberston, and the portion of my LGBT brothers and sisters who support "rights" agendas at the expense of civil and Constitutional rights of others- especially Christians- will see an anomaly between Mayor Buttigieg's words and the actions of Hoosier far left liberals on the subject: "...But the true compass that will have guided us there will be the basic regard and concern that we have for one another as fellow human beings — based not on categories of politics, orientation, background, status or creed, but on our shared knowledge that the greatest thing any of us has to offer is love."
