MAYOR PETE FACES A FAMILIAR AND “VICIOUS” ENEMY IN SOUTH CAROLINA: HOMOPHOBIA
Vice News ^ | 7/8/19 | Daniel Newhauser

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. “I’m proud of you,” Buttigieg reassured her. “Keep going. You’re 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.

So he's a bleeder, too?

Poor guy. Like he didn't have enough problems, what with being gay and all.

Pansexuals will do it with anyone who is willing to do it with them: male, female, gay, straight, pre-op trans, post-op trans, any gender identity or none. It doesn’t matter. They’ll do it.

Pete is queer...... that’s all

He has no other reason for running. He’s just waving the queer flag

-—Her mother, a creationist Baptist,...-—

As opposed to what - a big bang theory Baptist?

It’s not homophobia, it’s a visceral disgust of perversion. It’s called sodomy for a reason.

Well no. How about a Baptist scientist that is educated enough to understand Darwinian thoughts on the Origin of Species

WTF are pansexuals?

Persons with an unnatural attraction to frypans.

True, in some sense. I’m sure Satan loves it.

I don’t have an irrational fear...

It is a well-justified loathing of homosexuals. Same with Muzloids.

[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.]

The real irony is that’s some real spirit of antichrist right there. Just like Jimmy helping to kill off unborn babies and institutionalize homosexual marriage.

Days of Lot, indeed.

Hopefully, those monkeys survived, unlike all those poor gerbils.

So you really think that this Fake Christian, who is proud of his sin, will convince people to vote for the first openly mentally ill person to run for President? No sane person would vote for a man who has deluded himself in believing he is a “wife.”
