Pete Buttigieg's husband Chasten says he's dealt with a 'multitude of Rush Limbaughs' in life
by Madison Dibble
 | February 20, 2020 05:17 PM



Chasten Buttigieg, the husband of Pete Buttigieg, expressed concern for young gay people after conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh claimed the country would not support a gay president.

In an interview with ABC News, Buttigieg responded to Limbaugh's predication that the United States is not ready for a "gay guy” who “loves kissing his husband on debate stages.” He said he brushed off the remarks on a personal level but expressed concern for young gay people who may be intimated by the remarks.

“This isn’t new. I’ve been dealing with this my whole life. I dealt with a multitude of Rush Limbaughs when I was walking through the hallways of my high school,” Buttigieg said. “You have to realize that LGBTQ Americans have to come out every single day.”

He continued, "When somebody asks who we’re married to, asks about our partner, or you feel like you want to share something about yourself, but, then, you have to second-guess how that person’s going to react if I say, ‘Well, my husband,’ instead of, ‘My wife.’”

I guess I’m one of those. I don’t dislike anyone simply for who they are, but I will never accept homosexuality as normal. Don’t ask or demand that I do.

They’ll just have to wait till Me and people like me are dead before they gain total acceptance.

When my grandkids and their friends think little of it, I don't think even then the practice will be accepted as normal, no matter how people pay lip service in order to avoid the rainbow gestapo.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Well, if the Dems gain control and pass their "health care" plans, you and I will be dead very soon.

This grandstanding is tiresome.  Mayor Pete doesn't have the experience to be POTUS.  He can preside over the Human Rights Campaign or something like that.  Maybe run a corporation or serve a term as governor, and come back in 20 years.

Why not?  He has executive experience, same as Donald Trump.   A mayor, even a mayor of a "small" city,  has to deal with labor unions,  civic unrest,  budgetary constraints, and the need to engage in compromise in order to get results.    I have an aversion, if I can help it, of voting for Senators for President.  All they do is bloviate, virtue-signal and revel in partisanship for its own sake.  Most of them don't bother anymore to do the hard work of developing consensus. 

Give me a mayor, or a business executive, over a Congresscritter anyday.

Had Chasten actually read what Rush said and bothered to understand it, he'd know that Rush was speculating about what some Dems might be thinking, not voicing his own opinions.

And if the polling info a little past midway down the page here, https://news.gallup.com/poll/254120/less-half-vote-socialist-president.aspx , is correct, more than 1 in 5 Dems would have serious reservations about voting for a gay, or simply would not. That is not a majority of Dems, obviously, but shows that Rush's comments were correct and if the election is close, the Dems should be concerned.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

I have a question....... why do these people use the word “husband “ to describe each other when it’s such a “homophobic “ word that implies a female counterpart?

Why don’t they invent their own word for their sordid relationship?
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

But you would not take any of those, even a sitting President, over a disgraced governor who isn't even on the Primary ballot for Texas.   **nononono*

I refuse to call it a "husband," so I guess it's a good thing I no longer work in the corporate world.  happy77

"Partner", life mate" or "spouse" were long considered acceptable means of identifying a gay person's Significant Other.
 
But it seems that they are now considered as unequal to the task of forcing mandatory social approval upon those who merely wish to express human acceptance.

They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Would you mind clarifying that for me?

Well, I think they did, but the Baseball folks would balk at the cultural appropriation...

And that would be confusing if they switch from the mound to the plate...

Trump's lack of political experience rendered him ineffective in most respects.  Sure, the Republicans love him, but mainly for the entertainment value. 

We need an upgrade, and Petey is probably worse even before we get to his policies.  A mayor of a small city has much less responsibility than a governor.  Plus, this guy is a self-righteous millennial and is touchy about his sexuality.  Anytime he were criticized he would turn it into some kind of slur.  Obama spent 8 years working out his issues on the general public, and we've had enough of that.

@cato potatoe

Trump has more political experience than any of the others running. He has been negotiating with politicians his whole life to get building permits,gambling permits,etc,etc,etc. Not just in the scrotum of the Earth,NYC,but in foreign countries as well. And he did this without a backup team of career bureaucrats on the take.

We should be lucky to get another non-career politician to replace him in 2004. If we don't,it's just going to be back to business as usual for the evil creatures we call "career politicians and their aides."

I fail to see how having experience as a bad mayor make one qualified to do a good job as president, even before we get into identity politics issues--and they will be there if he gets the nomination, because he has led with his behaviour, not his stance on the political issues.

@musiclady

Certainly.

What I am saying is that under previously understood and conventionally-accepted social norms, homosexuals were commonly known - especially by their family, friends and acquaintances - to be just what they were. As such, most were treated not as pariahs, but as people - different, odd, flamboyant, even "queer", but still as essentially human, which of course they were, and are.

The inevitable infiltration of Progressive politics upset these social norms, predictably politicizing the personal, and publicizing the private.

Thus it is no longer enough to merely accept as human, and subject to one's considered respect, a homosexual man or woman.

What is now demanded is approval, neither considered nor earned, but as a matter of forced obeisance to the Progressive Catechism of Victimology.
