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?

can we ignore him unless he makes 10+% in DEmocrat polls.
Pete topics degenerate into comment bait.
No way in hell these two will be an item in five years.
If they are a traditional couple, what is special about them, about Pete’s leadership or readiness to be president?
I’m coming up with nothing.
So if he’s just a normal mayor with a normal spouse, why vote for him for president?
Unlesssssss being gay is as great a resume boost as commanding troops in war, or turning around the economy of a large state, or???
The media are certainly not doing that. Mayor Pete and Chasten are part of their propaganda strategy. To get a winning coalition, the leftist Dems need white women--so they they have fastened on two issues they expect women to find appealing: abortion and homosexuality.
Of course, actual homosexuality is generally repulsive to women as well as men. But "hairdresser" homosexuality is not. It's wholesome and comforting. So Pete and Chasten are up on stage 24/7/365 showing off their wholesomeness (as in this zany editorial) and reminding female voters that the GOP is mean, mean, mean. If you love your hairdresser, lady, vote DEMOCRAT!
“Pete and Chasten Buttigieg Are a Traditional Wonder”
In a sane worlde it would be: “Pete and Chasten Buttigieg Are a Traditional mental disease case.”
Why are some women pro-gay? Do they feel sorry for the Mincing Men? They think it’s cute? I think gays are ill, were most likely abuse as kids and they have to “fake” the love they purport for each other.
Likely they take turns driving down the muddy road...
The left must have victim class candidates so that any policy criticism can be nullified by skinning the racist, misogyny or homophobe / islamophobe card
Wrong, Pete’s his bitch! He’s the one the takes it up the DNC. If “it” gets elected, “it” will be the first gay President and First Lady all in one!
So Chasten is the wife?
>Pete gushed: “One year ago I married the love of my life. I’m so thankful I found you,<
Abomination of desolation.
(Shudder)
ignore him unless he makes 10+%
“Traditional Wonder”? LOL!!
They hate their fathers and queer men are non threatening to their simplistic, childlike worldview. They can virtue signal. JMO
There is nothing traditional about them and the press’ attempt to normalize them is disgusting.
Two years after “Bet-Im-Big” loses his bid for the presidency, they will divorce...
SOME American women will buy into this, as well as SOME American men. American women are not some big stupid hyperemotional Democrat monolith. Look at the demographics of a MAGA rally where the ratio of women to men is pretty even.
Good thing Hitler wasn’t Gay. The Left would be twisting themselves into a pretzel every time they compared him to POTUS Trump.
