Remember that picture of Putin snickering?
Imagine how much snickering he’d be doing after sitting opposite Buttgieg and having his wife hang out with Buttgieg’s husband.

Yes, what “wonderful optics!” I don’t have a problem with people who have a different sexual orientation. I have a sister-in-law who divorced her husband and now lives with a woman. I still love her and like her partner. And I have a 78 year old HS classmate who has been married to his partner for decades and they have a very dedicated relationship. All that said, I don’t think that trying to make their lifestyles “mainstream,” as the more radical of their number are wont to do, will ever fly in national politics.
