Pete Buttigieg Fundraiser Interrupted by 'Queers Against Pete' Protesters
Newsweak ^ | 2/15/20 | Jeffery Martin

Democratic presidential candidate and former South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg was met with protesters representing the group Queers Against Pete outside of a private fundraising event at the National LGBTQ Center for the Arts in San Francisco on Friday.

Inside the building, two activists attempted to disrupt the fundraiser after Buttigieg was asked about his husband, Chasten, by a member of the audience.

"I respect your activism," Buttigieg said, "but this is a gathering of supporters of our campaign and I just got a question about my husband and I'm really excited to answer it."

After being shouted down, the protesters were removed from the premises.

Outside the event, a Buttigieg supporter reportedly yelled at protesters calling them "homophobes." One of the protesters responded by saying, "We're all gay!"

"Some have touted former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg's openly gay identity as proof of progress in our politics," read an open letter on the Queers Against Pete website. "However, being gay is not enough to earn the support of LGBTQIA communities. We cannot in good conscience allow Mayor Pete to become the nominee without demanding that he address the needs and concerns of the broader Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, and Asexual communities."

Some of the group's concerns include Buttigieg's lack of support for canceling student loan debt, his opposition to a fully-realized Medicare for All plan and free universal public college.

Kinda sounds like Fauxcahontas.

It’s not enough to be a freak supporting freaks; you have to be the most freaky freak that ever was a freak! I’m talking lunatic level freakiness. Then you may just make the freak cut. Maybe.

For normal people sexuality is a facet of their lives. But for “Queers” sex IS their life. Even at a rally, out front and the primary motivation is what they do with their crotches.

When the right doesn’t like something, they typically don’t participate in whatever it was. When the left doesn’t like something, they seem to always try to disrupt or destroy it. I don’t know what possesses a person to do that.

Queer is the only term I have ever used in describing homosexuals. It is what we used in school and I've never seen any reason to change.

Freedom of speech is freedom to speak your mind, after all.

Let ButtPlug come out supporting all of the queer freaks in society.

That's the ticket to winning the nomination and presidency.

We didn’t have lesbos at my school. A couple of ferries, but all everyone knew was they were a little light in the loafers. We even had one black kid in our high school and he must have had his hair straightened, was a great athlete, super popular, and voted best dressed in Sr. Class. Nobody even knew he was black!
