A married gay man is running for president. That's a big deal.
CNN ^ | January 24, 2019 | Kyle Blaine

Posted on 01/24/2019 2:48:32 AM PST by C19fan

South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg entered the 2020 race for president on Wednesday, announcing his intentions with a video featuring scenes of him and his husband, Chasten, cooking and playing with their dog, Buddy.

Should Buttigieg win his long-shot bid for the Democratic nomination, he will become the first nominee of a major political party who publicly identifies as gay. If he goes on to defeat President Donald Trump, it'd be a historic win.

Just another flavor of DenoKratic Socializm, that’s all.

This is news? Colorado elected a gay married governor.

Only fake news would be touting it as breaking a social barrier.

Do I care who sleeps together in the bedroom? None of my business.

Nor is it any business of CNN’s.

These candidates pose a real problem for a party that has used race and gender warfare to attract constituents; in the end, they can only accommodate so many of those groups - and those omitted can be hard to placate.

Blacks could have delivered PA, WI, and MI to Hillary - and they didn’t. The party has learned, and I’m curious to see how they deal with the 2020 primaries. They already have white women, Hispanic men, a halfrican woman (Harris), and now a deviant mental case; real problems ahead as they try to keep the freak show together.

I’m shocked they’re gays. Liberals think we’re rubes who fell off the back of the truck.

The truth is I’m more concerned with people’s values than with their sexual orientation.

I leave the identity politics shtick to the Left.

It could be worse. Look up Harry Baals, mayor of Ft Wayne IN in the 1930s.

The classic solution to this problem is to find a common enemy against whom all the disparate factions can unite.

Hmm, I wonder who that might turn out to be?

There are conservative gays. Not all of them are liberal.

I voted against Polis because he’s a leftard not because he’s gay.

He’ll be as successful as Bradley Manning was in his run for US Senate.

Identity politics refers to what a Leftist is (i.e., pedophile, pederast, sociopath, black race, red race, white race, etc) due to evolution working on matter.

Political correctness is for Progressives, Leftists, Fabianists, etc. what 'morality' is as it evolves over time. And because only Leftists et al possess the gnosis of evolved 'morality' only they know what right and wrong is at any time.

Our nation was not founded on Leftism and evolution but on Biblical concepts. Of these, the existence of an eternally unchanging, personal Tri-Personal creator God who created persons (not evolved entities) and only two sexes, male and female, is the foundation stone of our unalienable Constitutional rights. Likewise, His unchanging moral law is the transcendent source of our morality.

In this light, a vote for a 'gay' is by default a vote against America's founding worldview and for Leftism and evolution (change).

Was it Pearce or Fillmore who was probably gay?

There are very few “firsts” these days.
