The likely victory of former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg in the Iowa caucuses has boosted him to the top tier of presidential candidates, since the last four winners of contested Iowa contests eventually scored the nomination.

Surely the most remarkable thing about his, well, unusual candidacy (no national or statewide experience, younger than any president so far, a flashy but fishy stint as a naval officer, a deceptive claim about his language abilities) is the fact he’s an openly gay man with a husband he kisses on the campaign trail.

In 2020, will “Lieutenant Pete” (he left the mayoralty last month) lose the election because he’s gay?

Well, in the third decade of the 21st century, most Americans — and certainly most Democrats — either respect gay people or couldn’t care less what they do in their bedrooms, so long as they’re Ellen DeGeneres gay people and not “Call Me Ma’am” gay people.

This is true.  Either he defends gays and their disgusting "in your face" tactics (which will cost him a lot of votes), or he resists and they desert him.  It's all "lose-lose" for Butt-gigger.

It's very possible his attack-the Fundies shtick was an attempt to play to to both varieties among homosexuals by invoking what he thinks all regard as a common enemy. I'm not sure that will work with the radical crazies. They seem to demand all-or-nothing conformity.

Unless he's got real backing and the gay lobby is told to STHU.
