WASHINGTON - Mockery of Democratic candidate Pete Buttigieg's homosexuality by a close ally of President Donald Trump drew fire on Friday , pushing the politically sensitive issue higher into the headlines than ever before.

So far, the former Indiana small city mayor has rarely had to confront homophobia on the campaign trail, where his husband has often joined him. "You saw, you just had on Rush Limbaugh, I mean, my God, it's part of the depravity of this administration," he said on ABC television. As for Trump, he has carefully staked out a middle ground - avoiding anything controversial on Buttigieg, while not denouncing apparent homophobia against him.
