As Buttigieg Builds His Campaign, Gay Donors Provide the Foundation
New York Times ^ | April 30, 2019 | Jeremy W. Peters and Shane Goldmacher

Barely two months ago, when Pete Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Ind., was rating no higher than 1 or 2 percent in national polls, he had a well-worn punchline he used as he pitched himself in living rooms and conference rooms where many of the guests were, like him, young, male and gay.

“I’m not asking for monogamy,” he would say.

It was fine to give to the bigger names in the race like Senators Kamala Harris and Cory Booker or former Representative Beto O’Rourke. He asked only that they save some for his historic candidacy, too.

Now, Mr. Buttigieg is looking for commitment.

After vaulting into the top tier of presidential candidates vying for the 2020 Democratic nomination — going from “adorable” to “plausible,” in his own words — Mr. Buttigieg is building on the fly a nationwide network of donors that is anchored by many wealthy and well-connected figures in lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender political circles.

From more intimate cocktail parties on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, where the composer Stephen Sondheim appeared in March, to larger events, like a planned June gala at the Beverly Hills home of the television producer Ryan Murphy, the L.G.B.T. donor base is helping push Mr. Buttigieg from the margins of the presidential contest into the same moneyed circles that raised millions of dollars for Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

I don't want a homosexual couple in the White House. It would be a national embarrassment and a fulfillment of the homosexual agenda to normalize an unhealthy and barren way of life.

He will get all the homo money. This is fun to watch the socialist dissipate their assets. They are flushing it down the toilet. If Trump ever does something to stop the invasion of the illegal alien parasites he will be president in 2020.

Just another empty candidate from the Democrats as always. No policy, just a gig. Booty’s is just that he’s gay and everyone is immoral in the Christian church of they reject homosexuality as something normal.

Hillary probably raised 10x the money this assclown will ever get, and she still lost.

Look past the shiny object and into what's going on behind the curtains...

Dukakis won the nomination in 1988 in part because he got a lot of campaign donations from Greek-Americans.

Buttigieg will get a lot of donations from practitioners of what used to be referred to as "Greek love."

Look for Buttigieg’s every single campaign move to be chronicled daily on the Drudge Report.

We just had a homosexual couple in the White House. Pity the Secret Service having to keep that down.

Everyone supporting Buttigieg for President reach under the bathroom stall partition and give a thumbs up. I said thumbs. Ick.
