Pete and Chasten Buttigieg Are a Traditional Wonder

Pete and Chasten Buttigieg celebrated their first wedding anniversary on Sunday. You know this if you’re among Pete’s roughly 1.1 million Twitter followers or Chasten’s 340,000, because they traded sweetly effusive missives, as they frequently do.

Pete gushed: “One year ago I married the love of my life. I’m so thankful I found you, Chasten, and can’t wait to spend the rest of our life together.” Chasten posted pictures of the two of them with their arms around each other, which he introduced by writing that he was on his way “to find this cute guy on the trail. Can’t believe it’s been one year.”

Two months ago, when they kissed during the event that marked the formal beginning of Pete’s presidential campaign, one headline called it a “radical moment.” But what has happened since — their daily and sometimes hourly displays of the commitment, respect and brimming sentiment that go into the best romantic partnerships — is more significant and potentially transformative.

They aren’t just the first gay couple at the forefront of a presidential race. They’re the 2020 campaign’s most public love story, one that makes it difficult for even the most resistant Americans to see a same-sex relationship as some frivolous romp, freakish affront or carnal curiosity.

But lately I’ve found myself wondering: What if Chasten were a 29-year-old straight woman instead of a 29-year-old gay man? What would that say about gender and double standards?

Frank Bruni is the voice of emasculation in America. His conclusion about Chasten, for whom he clearly has a bigtime crush: "I look at Chasten — who, with Pete, landed on the cover of Time magazine — and see at once how far gay people have come and how far women still have to go."

Of course, any halfway normal man would find this repulsive. But I wonder: Regardless of how Pete does in 2020, will America's WOMEN buy this BS propaganda campaign and turn even more pro-gay than they are right now? They very well might.

Question — Since Chasten changed his last name to Buttigig(sp?), does that mean that Mayor Pete is the “man” in the relationship?

I wonder how many lonely, unmarried, middle-aged cat ladies think that Buttgag and "husband" are okey dokey? Couldn't find a hubby? Buttgag stole your "man".

Generally, just the word “Buttigieg” in a title conveys that warning.

The left knows they can’t win on policy in a healthy economy.

So their best hope is to get the voters motivated to be part of a “moment” for which they can pat themselves on the back.

First black president was one. He was an unqualified dolt, but his winning gave so many airheaded moderates the feelz. First female president was to be another, but thankfully she was so unlikable that she lost.

So now they are trying first (openly) gay president.

Fake marriage

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Another Freeper deduced from Buttgag's comments that Buttgag himself is the "wife".

Pete must be the pitcher and Chasten the catcher.
