Pete Buttigieg Meets with Black LGBTQ Leaders during Houston Visit
Outsmart ^ | 5/6/19 | Lourdes Zaveleta

Posted on 05/06/2019 11:54:33 AM PDT by madprof98

When Buttigieg and his husband, Chasten, arrived at Pryor’s residence, nearly two dozen guests greeted the couple with handshakes and hugs, eager to be a part of the conversation.

The meeting with Buttigieg––facilitated by Harrison Guy, co-chair of Mayor Sylvester Turner’s LGBTQ Advisory Board––was an extension of Black Like Us, an annual University of Houston Black History Month event. Members of the discussion panel were all black religious leaders or black LGBTQ persons of faith.

***

Buttigieg, an Episcopalian, often shares his religious beliefs while campaigning. He has said that his South Bend church embraced his identity and even married him and his husband in June 2018. However, the rise in Buttigieg’s popularity has caused some uproar from right-wing Christians. In April, Billy Graham’s son Franklin blasted Buttigieg, stating that he should repent for being gay. At a May 3 campaign event in Dallas, hecklers shouted “Marriage is between a man and a woman.”

***

“As a cisgender white male, I get to be a part of that alphabet soup of the LGBTQIA+ community,” Buttigieg said, “but I don’t know the first thing about what it’s like to be a trans woman of color. I do know what it is liked to be ‘othered,’ and to be a part of a group that is marginalized. I can at least grab ahold of that when I try to better understand your experience.”

In March, Buttigieg told Ebony that he would stand up for trans women of color, just as progressive politicians from previous generations stood up for him as a gay man. Later that month, in an appearance on Real Time with Bill Maher, Buttigieg said he believed that trans children should be able to use restrooms in schools that match their gender identity.

He's third in all the Dem polls right now. Wonder what will happen when Biden falls.

Allow me to fix that:

Mayor Pete may have the left all worked up and be a star in the primaries, but in the general, not a chance.

When Biden falls/fails the two front runners will be Bernie, a homo-commie, and Butti, a homo-socialist.

The Democraps will be toast.

“but I don’t know the first thing about what it’s like to be a trans woman of color."

Just lay on your stomach, bite the pillow and think of Queen Victoria, dear.

You know, I’m beginning to think Houston may be the portal to Hell itself sometimes. We really need another visit from PDJT to put a big can of whoop a$$ on the POSSESSED lunatics who show up here

IMHO, he's more of a trial balloon sent by those who wish to further erode Christian institutional morality.

He's not fooling anybody here, though.

B*ttplug’s sister-in-law (a lifelong Democrat) has said, do NOT vote for B*ttplug for POTUS. She knows him personally and says he absolutely lacks the maturity and personal responsibility to be president.

With a name like “CHASTEN” that dude was born to be gay.

since at least 2008 (and exempting PDJT), most of our politicians have been destroying American civilization, liberties, morals, ethics, values, defenses, economy, etc.

WTH is wrong with this country that it could even consider electing such destructive scumbags?

Don’t count out Beto. I think he is going to come out and say he is Hispanic and gay. /S

Definition is

(of a rebuke or misfortune) have a restraining or moderating effect on.

(especially of God) discipline; punish.

“We gather together
to ask the Lord’s blessing;
he chastens and hastens
his will to make known.
The wicked oppressing
now cease from distressing.
Sing praises to his name,
he forgets not his own.”

. . . he's more of a trial balloon . . .

And perhaps a warning: Take Pete's "Christian" approach, or just see what you will get instead! I could not help thinking that viral video of the Pennsylvania LGBTQ leader (and Democrat state rep) screaming at an old lady praying outside Planned Parenthood. By contrast, Mayor Pete is the soul of civility. But no matter what, faithful Christians still have to bake that cake!

In an even slightly early age, this kind of talk would be roundly laughed off the stage. That it is now apparently embraced is a sure sign that our demise is very near.

Episcopalians are not Christians.

....”That it is now apparently embraced is a sure sign that our demise is very near.”....

Add to it the visual documentary showing a mother aborting/killing her unborn twins. We’ve crossed a huge line and there is very little outrage.
