COLUMBIA, South Carolina Aliyah Johnson stood petrified for several long seconds, mouth agape, eyes wide, as Mayor Pete Buttigieg walked in the door. When she finally shook off her paralysis, she barreled into his chest for an embrace before breaking into inconsolable sobs.
The 19-year-old Columbia resident had been looking in vain for Buttigieg all over the South Carolina Democratic Party Convention. When he made a surprise appearance at a meet-and-greet with black millennials at a bar called Truth, she knew it would be her chance.
She had never met him before, but Johnson needed to tell him her truth: That she had come out as pansexual in May, inspired in part by Buttigieg, who could be the first openly gay president. Her mother, a creationist Baptist, had rejected her completely. Im proud of you, Buttigieg reassured her. Keep going. Youre doing great.
He's literally helped me through a lot, even though he hasn't physically helped me, Johnson later said. Knowing that there are people like him out there in the world, it's helped me.
The irony is that Buttigieg, an Episcopalian, comes closer than any candidate has in decades to fulfilling the role of the Jimmy Carter-esque pious Democrat. He talks easily of his faith, and of reclaiming religion from Republicans. He quotes the New Testament to tag some Republicans specifically Vice President Mike Pence as hypocrites for working with President Trump.
At Harvard, he studied under Sacvan Bercovitch, a scholar who extolled the Puritans. He recently advertised that his campaign is hiring a faith engagement director. In short, he speaks the language of religion a quality that, all things being equal, should appeal to churchgoing voters.

I can just see him sitting there in the classrooms.
Obama actually beat him to it.
I like how they said openly gay.
“60% of the Dem primary voters in S.C. are black. Is this article using racial stereotypes?”
I dont think these people even know anymore.
By then S.C. will be the home of the largest population of black Nazis on Earth according to Vice.
“Her mother, a creationist Baptist, had rejected her completely.”
What a tragedy for her mother - and possibly father (if he cares)!
“The guy is a pinko who thinks God works for government.
And he is also a pervert”
A twofer....communist with nipple clamps.
“That she had come out as pansexual in May, inspired in part by Buttigieg, who could be the first openly gay president.”
Pansexual? She boinks the cast-iron skillets?
Oh THE HORROR!!
How come The left never wants to talk about HIV and AIDS anymore?
are there no further cases?
Or is it because there still at least 100,000 infections a year mostly homosexual young people?
The word homophobia is a made up word — a pejorative assault on normal people — riding the coattails of the name of a fearsome disease, hydrophobia. Hydrophobia means fear of water.
The average person is far from fearing homosexuality, but is repulsed at the filth of homosexuality, among many other things.
Such as, how on earth can a man prefer the genitalia of another man to the awesome charms of a female?
It was not for nothing that homosexuality has always been regarded as a perversion, and deviant behavior.
He’s into rabbits now. Must be the ears.
What???
You forgot Micheal
a faith engagement director
Yeah, thatll get it done for you, Butt-edge-edge.
Oh yeah...they are proud and in your face with their fruitness.
“Pansexual”......Is that related to Peter Pan somehow?
I hear ya, but we had Øbowel getting stroked and bored by Reggie Love in their special White hut room for eight years.
Somebody who bangs pans? (With their sex organs?)
Disgust with nasty sick in the head perverts is not fear. It's a healthy reaction to their behavior.
“WTF are pansexuals?”
Ever heard it said of anyone, “He’d screw a rattlesnake if he could get someone to hold its head?”
