This is the part that bothers me.

Together with

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

It doesn’t work for me with all the 1960s anti-homosexual slurs I’m seeing every day about Mayor Buttigieg. Every thread mentioning him has attacks and jokes and insults about his orientation.

It was fair in political argument to bring up what we knew about closeted candidates or leaders like Obama and Hillary. Just one more example of how devious and dishonest they were.

This man is open and honest about his homosexuality, he’s legally married, which deserves respect, and so far from what I’ve read about him, he’s a decent human being who is the kind of ideological, non-corrupt liberal we are supposed to want as an opponent, to argue with on the pure basis of ideas on how to govern this country.

The people here don’t give him a fair chance as an opponent but insist on filling threads about him with Beavis and Butthead jokes about sexuality. There is nothing pro-family or pro-Gd about insulting people. These insults are not about his hypocrisy or scandals, like the insults most politicians generate. The cheap homosexuality slurs are not at all in line with what I thought this place was, and if they are continually allowed, I don’t understand how this place can be a respectable house of discourse on constitutional ideas and freedom.

For that statement to be true at all, one has to accept the redefinition of marriage as changing away from an institution designed to create a social and economic union by which a stable environment is created for conception and raising of children by the same two people who conceived. That’s not something invented by me or even religious people. That has been the definition and purpose for thousands of years.

I do not in any way accept redefining marriage into simply a license to f#@k.

No, his relationship is not honorable. It mocks both the purpose and the institution.

It equals out... because Buttigieg does nothing but personally attack Christians, like Mike Pence.

Yaelle, dear little married Buttigieg gets a lot of gay razzing on her because the agenda of the gay lobby is 180 degrees radically opposed to the foundational tenets of JudeoChristian Western Civilization. We don’t want those sweet little “married” gay folks to get the power to totally collapse the moral order and start outlawing established religion with the full weight of the Federal government and the Executive Branch. He has already expressed his antithetical and heretical views. Most of the gay joking here is “shorthand” for “let’s not elect our own demise because bake the cake or ve haf vays to make you.”

No, he's a butt pirate.

He deserves scorn and shunning.

Shunnage? Shunment?
