As Pete Buttigieg Courts Black Voters, His Sexuality Is a Hurdle for Some
NY Times ^ | October 27, 2019 | Trip Gabriel

Addressing a conference of African-American church congregations in this vote-rich city, Pete Buttigieg quoted scripture on Sunday morning and extolled his “Douglass Plan” to combat racial inequities in America, one of several attempts this weekend to confront his strikingly low support among black voters.

But Mr. Buttigieg also undertook a delicate task before the African Methodist Episcopal worshipers. As a gay, married man addressing a denomination that does not allow same-sex marriage rites, he tried to seek common ground over being members of minority groups whose civil rights have come under attack. It was a nod to his sexuality, following the disclosure last week that the Buttigieg campaign held focus groups that found some black voters in South Carolina were uncomfortable with a gay man as president.

The MSM treads very softly when the issue comes up a major reason Alfred E. Neuman polls at 0% among black voters is he is flamin' homo. I am surprised the word "homophobic" came up once in the article although it was used to say the African-American community is not more homophobic than any other group.

Black women tend to hate fags, as so many black men are on the down-low (secretly bisexual).

So the ignorant fool tried to convince a black congregation that being scorned for butt sex is the same as being black. Sounds like a great strategy. And this clown wants to be president?

What a cowardly tiptoe job this is. If it was whites who had the “major hurdle” you’d see “bigots” sprinkled throughout the article.

The magic negro supported the homosexual agenda.
While we had been told all along that normal blacks did not.
After Barack flipped and decided to support such not too many blacks denounced him.
Guess we may find out how blacks really feel about degenerate behavior.

Well, now that you mention it, he kept that agenda invisible at first. He was explicitly against poof-marriage. I don't think he was particularly helpful to the poofter cause until his second term. Am I remembering correctly?

It’s not about “hate” or “discomfort.” It’s about a person whose morals are in the toilet making moral decisions that affect the whole world.

Spot on! And he isn't gay, he's a Sodomite. Gay means happy and carefree. Sodomites are some of the most miserable people in the world.

Which is why I refer to the LSBT crowd, not the LGBT's.

No, it’s not his sexuality, per se. It’s his crazy ass Marxist insanity that turns people off. But of course, are messed up media reports otherwise…

It may as well be his sexuality. He's not just a guy who happens to be gay. He's "married" to another man, and denounces all who don't agree that gay marriage is wonderful as "not real Christians". He's a non-starter on that issue alone IMO. Throw in all the Marxist crap and he's a total disaster.

His “sexuality” would be the laughing stock of the world. Can you imagine him facing off to terrorists? He’d be wetting his pantaloons.

Buttplug isn’t just just gay, he’s a MILITANT gay who regularly denounces real Bible-believing Christians who don’t accept his false interpretations of the Bible.

He declares that his sodomite “marriage” is legitimate, blessed by God. He also now advocates late term and full term abortion because (he says) life does not begin until a baby actually takes a breath of air.

He is a narcissistic evil b@st@rd, and the definition of a false prophet.

I second your motion. It amazes me that he’s a candidate.

Combat racial inequality? You mean he will eliminate Affirmative Action?
