Mayor Pete Buttigieg's Unlikely, Untested, Unprecedented Presidential Campaign [TIME cover story]
Time ^ | 5/2/19 | Charlotte Alter

Posted on 05/02/2019 4:52:08 AM PDT by madprof98

Their marriage is at once banal and extraordinary, infused with the exuberant contentment of two people who once thought they would always be alone. Chasten handles the dogs, the shopping, the cooking. Pete does the dishes, laundry and garbage. Chasten hates taking the bin out to the curb. Pete hates the way Chasten folds T-shirts. Chasten gets grumpy when they go too long without food, and Pete doesn’t get it. “You’re like, ‘Oh, here, I packed a bag of almonds and a thing of beef jerky,’” Chasten says. “I hate nuts, and he eats nuts all the time.”

“High in protein, good for you,” Pete counters.

“See!” Chasten says. “I want a meal, and he’s like, ‘We’ll just have a handful of nuts.’” Also, he tells his husband, “You do chew really loudly.”

Both men grew up closeted in conservative Midwestern communities. “Being gay was not culturally acceptable where I grew up, mostly for a lack of understanding,” Chasten says. “And so my family and I were just at a crossroads, and we didn’t really know how to talk to one another.” When he came out after his senior year of high school, tensions at home forced him to spend months crashing on friends’ couches and sleeping in his car. His parents ultimately changed their minds, welcomed him back home and now fully support their son and his marriage.

Gay = good, Christian = bad (except for the Church of Pete). Pure propaganda, start to finish. The Soviets could have learned from our "journalists."

Yea, but who's on top and who's on bottom.

America needs to know.

The left has COMPLETELY lost it, over homosexuality.

For real.

No amount of pc propaganda is going to get most men to really accept male/male anal intercourse and fellatio as acceptable as hetero sex with a woman. There is a basic revulsion toward such acts which is deeply ingrained in our culture.

The country already had a gay president. He had a “Nancy Boy” and ushered in a very uncivil Civil War!

Chasten says. “I hate nuts, and he eats nuts all the time.”

Yeah. I bet he does.

It's really not that hard to understand.

Tab A in slot B = No.

Tab A in slot C = Yes.

Easy peezy.

Pete is the “wife.” We know the Democrats celebrate his perversion, but is the rest of America really this far gone?

He’s a test run for taking Todd Young’s senate position in 2022. He’s got fundamental problems: he’s never been more than a mayor and of a relatively medium sized town, no one knows how to pronounce his name, and he’s kind of a goober.

He is very ambitious, but he might prove to be a thorn in the side of the Dem’s during the primaries.

I think the revulsion is deeply ingrained in our biology. Not just culture.

True fact. It's a survival of the species thing.

So-called "homophobia" is natures way. And it's not nice to mess with mother nature.

That could be, but for a millennium, roughly from 500BC to 500 AD it was acceptable and normative first among the Greeks and then across the entire Mediterranean as a result of the growth of the Roman Empire. The Christian Church got queer sex outlawed along with ending pagan worship. So how was it popular and normative for so long and then could be pretty much squelched and forced literally into a closet for 1500 years?
