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.

Lol, that’s what I first asked myself! A very confused person for sure.
‘Homophobe’, another make believe nonsense word...
Nowhere near having moneys fly out of anyone’s ass yet - what is the prognosis if the standard is “when gerbils crawl out of one’s ass”?
“Nobody wants Mayor Peter eater to be in the White House sodomizing his “husband”.
The state of Colorado voted for a gay governor and “husband” this last election. I was shocked to learn this recently and it is all in the open.

re: “He talks easily of his faith, and of reclaiming religion from Republicans.”
Butt-gig, IMO, is a 1st-order psychopath; these ‘things’ Vice news go on about come EASY to a psychopath who considers himself ABOVE everyone else who must conform to their expressed beliefs, while, he does not have the SAME limitations. He views each and everyone of us as prey, weakened by our beliefs that tie us to our morals. Again, he, in his mind, HAS NO SUCH RESTRICTIONS.
He makes the ‘perfect’ democrat ...
A phobia is an unwarranted or unfounded fear. Who’s afraid of a little queer?
A raging slut and indiscriminate skank.
What's not to love?!
