Buttigieg claiming South Carolina blacks are homophobic? Delightful!

[cuban leaf]

It’s certainly a barrier to getting my vote. Except to get to that barrier you have to break through several others first - his party affiliation, his stance on the issues for starters.

His sexual preference is pretty low on my list of reasons to never vote for the guy.

[Rashputin]

In my experience, most blacks are “homophobic” at least until they’re subject to the animals in the US prison system.

[elpadre]

it bothers me too

[BenLurkin]

How about that he’s a pinko? Every American can reject that.

[CJ Wolf]

If the left were more accepting of Gay people this wouldnt be an issue.

[mosaicwolf]

I would guess being gay and married to a man is a likely barrier to whites as well as blacks not just in SC but the entire USA. This is a common sense issue here folks.

The Centers for Disease Control is homophobic by definition. They warn of the “natural gay lifestyle” in a brochure about MSM. (men having sex with men) They warn that natural unprotected homosexual acts produce death and disease! Our own federal government warns Mr and Mr Buttiglug of their deathstyle!

Muslims are certainly at the top of the PC list. Nobody can criticize them. But it remains to be seen who is higher up, blacks or gays. This should be interesting.

His being gay is one thing, him being the mayor of a village in Indiana that is a complete mess, now that’s a real non-starter.

[goldstategop]

Its not because he’s gay, its because he has no charisma and no compelling agenda to be President.

Homophobic? My state of Colorado has a Democrat gay Governor. So there.

[Williams]

Too damn bad. They must think they’re actually free to feel however the hell they want. Sounds good to me. Btw I just saw Rocketman and thought it was great. But Buttigieg is an ass.

[FreedomPoster]

Add in very little in the way of accomplishment as a mayor.

[I am Richard Brandon]

Hey! He is a Democrat. Assume that half the votes not in his favor should be ‘allocated’ to him in order to compensate for homophobia. Easy Peasy. WIN for Butt Boy.

You do know that Colorado has a gay couple, with a child, living in the governor's mansion right?

[Williams]

His whole agenda IS that he’s gay and no one dare hate him for it. I’m sure he’d be the worst president in history.

[cnsmom]

The people that thought focus groups were necessary has the real problem.

[Rebelbase]

Buttgig has a long way to go to come from behind and win this thing.

[Pollster1]

Who gets more diversity points? That’s how the democrats want to choose their nominee, but those pesky voters want a voice too. Maybe they should look at the Republican Party again.

[goldstategop]

I didn’t vote for him not because he’s gay but because Polis’ values are the complete opposite of mine.
