Is America Ready for Gay President? Iowa Casts First Votes

Pete Buttigieg, the first major openly gay candidate for president, is campaigning heavily in Iowa, a state that was among the first to sanction gay marriage.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The question posed to Pete Buttigieg — gay, married and running for president — came from a supporter at an Iowa campaign stop: What should he tell friends who say America isn't ready to elect a gay man as president?

That prompted a woman in the crowd to object with an expletive, igniting cheers from hundreds in the audience.

Of the many intriguing things about Buttigieg and his candidacy for president — his Ivy League, Rhodes Scholar pedigree and his war service in Afghanistan — a vital question overlaying the 2020 campaign is whether as a gay man his sexual orientation is a barrier to the nation's highest office.

Iowa didn't sanction gay marriage, a court in Des Moines did.

Hopefully there will be _lots_ of media coverage—the Democrats are really going to bury themselves in garbage with this one.

No, but Satan is along with his minions on the Left.

Anything to destroy America which Satan hates because America is the only thing on earth that stands in the way of Satan's dream of Global Totalitarian Government - AKA Worldwide Islamic Supremacy with the "Twelfth Imam" (Satan incarnate) in charge.

Soon but not yet. Gonna have to wait for that demented Leftist - gay or otherwise - to destroy America in one fell swoop.

There is a long list, before getting to the homosexual issue.

Plenty of other serious problems with him

We aren’t going to find out. Booker is dead and Butt Boy doesn’t feel so good himself.

American is great because it’s good. When the day comes that a majority of the American people knowingly accept a sodomite president and his first-lady “husband,” the country will have finally and officially died in terms of being a good or great country.

So the only reason someone would vote against powder puff Pete is because he’s a sodomite?

Ahhh liberal logic

How about if a majority of Americans accept a thrice-married, confessed adulterer as President?

It’s not ideal, but it’s not disordered.

Yeah - spent 6 months as an Intelligence officer...nothing about being put in harms way....and he also went there as a civilian to work on/facilitate ““war zone economic development to help grow private sector employment.””
Sounds like he was trying to help the enemy prosper....
