Former U.S. Rep. Barney Frank asserted that Mayor Pete Buttigieg’s sexual orientation is helping him in the polls among Democrats running for president, saying voters likely give Buttigieg credit for being open and honest about himself.

“His being gay is an advantage,” Frank, who became the first openly gay Congress member in 1987, told the Boston Globe on Friday.

Frank, 79, who represented Massachusetts in the House from 1981 to 2013 after serving as a state lawmaker, added that if Buttigieg were straight he didn’t think he would be doing as well.

It “gives people a chance to affirm their lack of prejudice," he said.

“I think Beto O’Rourke may be regretting that he’s straight,” Frank told the Globe.

If Mayor Pete is not leading in the polls he need not worry. He may be great coming from behind.

Frank is actually speaking the truth.

Obama probably wouldn’t have been the Dem nominee, let alone elected—twice—if it weren’t for racial-guilt virtue signalling from whites.

Sure bawney. Cuz the US just totally embraces the gay lifestyle wholeheartedly! Everyone’s gay!!

Delusional is putting it mildly.

That is the philosophy and mindset, having a male family member who spent days in hot tubs with men. He says they would sit around seeing how they could bring in another ‘straight’ man into the pool, and the guys who could do the MOST to proselyte and draw them in, was rewarded.

Didn’t his live in boy toy run a male prostitution ring from his house?

Keep it in the closet girls or be forced back there. This perversion is what took down Rome. It will either destroy society or society will destroy it.

Give it time, Beto will support any liberal idea out there in order to get votes, he might go as far as taking one in rear for the cause...

[cdcdawg]

Is Beto aware that he’s straight? Doesn’t seem like it.

It “gives people a chance to affirm their lack of prejudice," he said.

What a sound campaign strategy. "Vote for me to prove you're not a bigot!"

Yes, however I wouldn’t aspect anything different coming from another homo.

Question to Barney Fag:

Name me one state that the President carried in '16 that Buttplug could carry next year.

I can name you a half dozen states that ILLary carried that Buttplug would lose to the President!
