A married gay man is running for president. That's a big deal.

South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg entered the 2020 race for president on Wednesday, announcing his intentions with a video featuring scenes of him and his husband, Chasten, cooking and playing with their dog, Buddy.

Should Buttigieg win his long-shot bid for the Democratic nomination, he will become the first nominee of a major political party who publicly identifies as gay. If he goes on to defeat President Donald Trump, it'd be a historic win.

A person who embodies nothing but identity politics is no one I would vote for.

We’re not defined by our external identity but by the content of our character and how we live in our lives.

What we do matters a lot more than whether we’re a member of this or that tribal group. Period.

Conservatives want a society of decent people not a collection of politically correct victim groups.

Yes, but that didn’t work in 2016. Blacks and homosexuals weren’t afraid of Trump; the former in particular helped elect him by refusing to support Hillary. Now the people left out are very vocal (see Bernie and Jill Stein supporters); the left isn’t a homogenous bloc.

I figure we’ve been there, done that — in 2008.

The left isn’t going to back this guy. They’ve gone backwards in time as they don’t even want Catholics to be in Congress!

"I’m more concerned with people’s values than with their sexual orientation."

OK, sure: if a conservative says that, then we're one step closer to the Big Flush.

I will bet serious money no “journalist” asks this “couple” how many nights a week they take “off from monogamy”.

Oxymoron. Homosexuals don’t have values.
