Buttigieg takes shot at social conservatives, describes coming out during Vegas LGBTQ gala

The South Bend, Ind., mayor also spoke of the need to overcome divisions during a swing stop at a gala for an LGBTQ civil rights group. He said that LGBTQ people, women, immigrants, people of color and with disabilities and workers are experiencing a “crisis of belonging in this country.”

"What every gay person has in common with every excluded person of any kind is knowing what it's like to see a wall between you and the rest of the world and wonder what it's like on the other side," Buttigieg said during his keynote address for the Human Rights Campaign at Caesar’s Palace.

Buttigieg, 37, a former Navy intelligence officer, described coming out while mayor and preparing to deploy to Afghanistan.

"I was seized with the awareness that I could be killed in action at the age of 33, a grown man and an elected official, with no idea what it was like to be in love," he said. "I knew that I had to be who I am."

Buttigieg also mentioned an op-ed he wrote where he came out as a gay man while Vice President Mike Pence was governor of Indiana. Pence, a devout Christian, has said homosexuality is a choice and has publicly stated marriage is between a man and woman.

“I would not say that he is happy.
Gay is a synomnon for happy. For many reasons, homosexuals are not happy”

They purloined the word because it is opposite of what they are because they are afraid of being identified - because THEY ARE HOMOPHOBIC.

Just like everything else the progressive/globalist/marxist commie left does -

Whatever they say - the opposite is true.
Whatever they accuse others of - they are guilty of themselves.

“Hypocrisy is the tribute vice pays to virtue.”

If he runs on his “gayness” and keeps showing off his he-wife, he won’t survive the Democrat primaries!

It's his only issue. Of course when it came right down to it Obama ran on the fact that he's black.

Gay... gay... gay... LGBTQRSTABC... crap is pathetic. People need to leave their sex preferences in bed. Even FR pushes and flaunts these threads of perversion.
