Pete Buttigieg and Cory Booker are turning down an invitation to an Iowa conservative Christian group’s summit, joining Beto O’Rourke, who had previously said he wouldn’t attend.
Bob Vander Plaats, an influential social conservative leader in Iowa who runs the group The Family Leader, had told NBC News previously that he was inviting the Democratic candidates for president to have a discussion around faith and unity in July. The invitation, he said, comes as a number of Democrats this year have been speaking about their faith on the campaign trail.
But Booker, the New Jersey senator, tweeted Monday that although he welcomes any chance to talk about how faith guides him, he won’t be attending.
“I cannot — in good conscience — attend an event put on by an organization that preaches bigotry and sows hate against the LGBTQ community,” Booker wrote.
Buttigieg’s campaign had said previously that he was considering accepting the invitation. Buttigieg, the South Bend, Ind. mayor who is gay, has emphasized how he believes his same-sex marriage has brought him closer to God and has challenged religious conservatives for their opposition to same-sex marriage.

Sounds like grounds for a slander suit there.

How Christian-like...
why would anyone invite these clowns in the first place?
So buttgang wants all the benefits of preaching his Christianity without having to be in the same room with the real thing.
Projection, Corey-baby, you hate them so assume they hate you, which is seldom the case. And you especially hate it when they say "I'll pray for you".
They have neither interest in faith nor unity
Bkmk
Pray that God would relieve Booker of the burden of a misspent life.
These two fags apparently have never seen the numerous rainbow flags flying at so many Lutheran churches.
They would be very welcome at most of these churches.
Seems that this would be the ideal opportunity for him to promote his “God is for Big Government” ideology.
Let’s face it. They are both Christophobes! The Christ of the Bible taught in the synagogue. Sodomy was one of the topics that Jesus taught on. Sodomy is and was taught to be an abomination. Start asking these clowns if they believe that Jesus is a bigot for teaching from the Law and the Prophets! Start forcing them to defend their position! They are the bigots for presenting that if you believe the Bible’s teaching on sodomy you are a bigot.
These people are irrational morons.
And the Mayor BUTT said he was going to change the attitudes of the Midwest voters........
Probably because they expected just the response they received
He keeps proclaiming his “Christianity.” Guess he only likes churches that use the homosexual “bible.”
It’s amazing how much DemonicRats project their own sins on anybody they don’t tolerate.
