Homophobia hurt Pete Buttigieg — as much as America wished it didn't
NBC News ^ | March 2, 2020 | Joe Cabosky

Posted on 03/03/2020 8:50:03 AM PST by C19fan

It seems so long ago that the first openly gay candidate won the Iowa caucuses. Mere weeks later, the Pete Buttigieg campaign is now past tense, as the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, announced Sunday that he was dropping out of the race for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Wherever that leaves Buttigieg and his future political prospects — or any future LGBTQ candidate — this moment affords us an opportunity to ask ourselves where the nation as a whole really is in terms of acceptance of LGBTQ candidates.

To be clear, I’m not arguing that Buttigieg was unsuccessful only because of homophobia. But lessons from this cycle do allow us to be honest about the challenges that LGBTQ candidates face. While these issues may not have gotten a lot of attention in 2020, Buttigieg’s campaign demonstrates how many problems of homophobia still remain.

Phobia is a fear, nothing to do with disgust or contempt.

Blacks and Hispanics have no tolerance for faggotry that destroys families and communities.

There was/is nothing about this young mayor of a small town that qualifies him to run for the office of President of the United States.

His progressive, radical, liberal ideas are abhorrent. (Ditto the rest of the candidates on the left.)

It is not homophobic to disagree with his life style. Most of us here would agree there should be equality in law and life. However, 4% of our population ought not to dictate to the rest of us in every forum. We do not have to celebrate or elevate, and they can’t make us.

It’s not ‘homophobia’.

It’s the motivation of spending Eternity in ‘the wrong Place’ instead of ‘the right Place’. As in, Sodom and Gomorrah.

Seeing him kissing his husband on the lips is downright nauseating. Completely unacceptable.

“Homophobia” is a Frankenword. Slang plus phobia.

But if its Greek roots (homos, phobos) are read literally, then `homophobia’ means “fear of the same” as in “fear of those who share the same qualities as oneself”.

Me, I’m not afraid of other heterosexual gun owners who support Trump, so I guess I’m not a homophobe.

He was a mayor of a nothing town.
The ONLY reason he got money from the Gay Mafia was because he was gay.

I agree. Democrats HATE homosexuals.

Indeed next they will say it’s a phobia to disagree with a stoner about drugs.

No BootyJudge was the CIA’s candidate, which is just as bad a being a poofter.

"No BootyJudge was [one of] the CIA’s candidate[s], which is just as bad a being a poofter."
There, fixed it. Trump is at war with the unelected Deep State which is funded by the Fed and protected by Langley. Those are his two main enemies and strategic targets, and it is a death struggle.

“Homophobia”

In my mind there is no such thing as, “homophobia.”

I simply do not know enough Latin to express, “Completely disgusted by homosexuality and the things which homosexuals do to each other.”

Homophobia is a made up word. Nobody likes a queer except other queers. I am not afraid of them, but rather am disgusted by their behavior. Normal people should never have allowed them out of the closet.

There can be no mistake about what is the real goal for our society.

What is happening now is late stage secular societal wide “grooming” (including adult grooming), and normalization of pedophilic sodomy, and pederastry.

The anti-God, no moral boundaries left, has and is simultaneously positioning a number of cultural marxist sodomites, to be placed in control of DOD and IC (as these control and guide the military), and the left wing mass media/entertainment apparatus, to soon be elected or placed in control of society and the Christian’s they seek to pervert the children of, and to annihilate.

I know most on here will not care to spend the 40-45 minute read, but this recent non-revisionist, and horrific cycle seems to be repeating, almost at every point —

Actually, this well documented historical “blueprint” will likely continue to be targeted, and may disappear altogether.

... Stole his mannerisms from Obama.

Does that mean Obama was gay or bi?
