Buttigieg fights to lock down Iowa LGBTQ vote
The Politico ^ | September 21, 2019 | Elena Schneider

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — Friday’s LGBTQ Presidential Forum had the feeling of a home game for Pete Buttigieg, who was introduced as “a member of our community” to a rousing standing ovation. But that enthusiasm for Buttigieg has not guaranteed him a lock on this voting bloc in Iowa.

Buttigieg covered topics including learning “the hard way” about “discrimination” when he came out — like the first time he saw his mayoral office’s annual blood drive on his schedule, Buttigieg said, and soon realized, “I can’t be part of it.”

Yet some activists in Iowa said that Buttigieg had not focused enough attention in his campaign on the unique challenges faced by LGBTQ people. Even amid obvious enthusiasm for the South Bend, Ind., mayor, who faced a crowd waving rainbow “BOOT-EDGE-EDGE” signs and featuring “Pete” stickers on dozens of T-shirts, the pressure for Buttigieg to represent the broader LGBTQ community through his 2020 campaign has come with complications.

“....like the first time he saw his mayoral office’s annual blood drive on his schedule, Buttigieg said, and soon realized, “I can’t be part of it.”

At least our blood supply hasn’t been taken over by Political Correctness yet.

Des Moines is the largest city and the capitol. There is exactly one gay bar in Des Moines, Blazing Saddles.

At this point the entire Democratic Party has become a severe mental psychosis.

I bet it's really, really tough for the pervert to get this crowd on his side:



"But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him that a huge millstone should be hung around his neck, and that he should be sunk in the depths of the sea."

Matthew 18:6

Buttigieg could definitely lock down the LGBTQ vote by putting on a performance with an ear of corn.

At least he can perform in public; not like Barack Obama, who can only wish that he could come out of the closet while there is still time....

I think if you added up the entire LGBTQ community in Iowa....it’s no more than 2,500 in the entire state. The majority are in Des Moines. Maybe 200 in Davenport and Cedar Rapids. I just don’t see Mayor Pete getting that many people in the state all thrilled.
