Pete Buttigieg says Pence is advancing 'homophobic policies'
NBC "News" ^ | 5/17/19 | Josh Lederman

CHICAGO — Democratic presidential contender Pete Buttigieg on Friday accused Vice President Mike Pence of advancing “homophobic policies,” saying that while he doesn’t know whether Pence is truly homophobic, his policies are “hurting other people” just the same.

“I don’t know what’s in his heart,” Buttigieg told conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt in an interview airing Friday. But, he added, “if you’re in public office and you advance homophobic policies, on some level it doesn’t matter whether you do that out of political calculation or whether you do it out of sincere belief.”

“The problem is, it’s hurting other people,” said Buttigieg, the South Bend, Indiana, mayor.

The dispute between Buttigieg and Pence, who worked together when Pence was Indiana governor, has emerged in the 2020 race as a flashpoint in the broader societal debate about whether support for LGBT rights such as same-sex marriage are compatible with firmly held religious beliefs and support for religious freedom.

The other side of his complaint is that he’s a homo.

I think he’s pulling these allegations from his butt.

* * * *

Not only that, his 15-minutes of fame expired. He's on Time Magazine's cover so now he will fade into the opportunist fool that he is.

He wants Pence to respond -- fat chance. Trump finished the guy off with his comment about looking like Alfred E. Newman.

Too bad, Buttplug, America doesn't want you, but maybe your message would work in a Muslim country.

It is because God has given them over to a reprobate mind Romans chapter 1. They burn in their lust toward one another and they have no self control.
The only cure is Christ, as is for all of us!

No specifics. No one even asks. What policies are Alfred E Neuman talking about? Furthermore Mike Pence is the Vice President and is actually in charge of pretty nothing, so he doesn’t even make policies.

Ah, the sure sign of an uneducated idiot.

When you see “phobe” or any variations thereof, rest assured that it’s being said by someone who really does not deserve any more in life than being on welfare.

Because stupid.

Is mayor Pete a wife or a husband?

One of them needs to put on a dress.

“”The problem is, it’s hurting other people,” said Buttigieg””

How are they hurt? Not one has shut their mouth about being offended by any speech. They continue to sound off. They are not off in a corner crying because they are so hurt. Who is this jerk trying to kid? Is he hurt by comments about SDFITUTYQ people? Don’t bother trying to figure out what that means - it means nothing - exactly like the other alphabet soup!

What precisely, is the “homophobic” policy Pence is pursuing? This sexual deviant can’t leave Pence out of his conversation. Evidently he thinks if he can knock off Pence he will have succeeded in knocking off any Christian influence in American life.

I support Trump and voted for him, and I plan to vote for him again; however, Trump is far more liberal on social issues than I am. Trump could not care less about a person's sexual orientation. Trump is no sexist or racist. I support Trump because he defends the right of traditional or orthodox Christians not to support homosexuality.

He flaunts his behavior/lifestyle, and meets Truth... Truth always gets a reaction when it comes in contact with homosexuality.

When are we going to take phobic out of the word homo?

Psychology has ceased to be a science.

I do not know. Perhaps there are heterosexual men who fear gays.

In my case it is simply homodisgust.

“Looks like Mike Pence will have to do.” For some time, Buttplug has had a hard-on for Pence. Not so much for Trump.

Starting to look like he has a crush on Pence and knows he has no chance with him. After all, Pence is a very good-looking man.

It’s not Pence who’s obsessed with Butt Judge’s sexuality. It’s all that the nobody mayor has to talk about.

Rejecting the sodomite lifestyle is not “homophobic”. I don’t know of any one personally who is “afraid” of these people per se, but I do know of many folks who firmly and intelligently reject the premise that “anything goes”.
They are normal. The other ones, not so much.

Tolerate my right of conscience.

Trump’s response is akin to what we do when we find a bomb- carefully and exactly defuse it. By not being goaded into saying anything offensive to anyone, Trump is the expert political EOD tech.

Even if he doesn’t really have an opinion regarding homosexual stuff, he isn’t a threat to those who do nor to those who are...

In muzzle loading we sometimes have a flintlock that fires the pan but not the main charge- “a flash in the pan”, just a fizzle an no shot downrange. Innocuous.
