Denver, Colorado Pete Buttigieg shared an emotional moment with a young supporter in Denver on Saturday night.
"Thank you for being so brave," the boy, later identified as 9-year-old Zachary Ro, wrote in a question submitted via fishbowl during the presidential hopeful's Saturday rally,"Would you help me tell the world I'm gay, too? I want to be brave like you."Zachary, who attended the rally with his parents, joined the former South Bend, Indiana, mayor on stage. He presented Buttigieg with a bracelet, which the Democratic hopeful put on.
So if he is president do we start encouraging ALL the little kids to start thinking about their sexual preferences too? At what point do we act like decent human beings and tell children that they are too young to know about that kind of thing at that age?
That is not being brave. That is having nasty values, and the spreading of aids.
Was this politically staged?🤔
How can a 9-year-old possibly know whether or not they are gay?
He is merely ONE reason why Trump2020
This gay sh!t is getting ridiculous
BUTTigig has lost soon he will be gone with the wind😂😂😅😜😜😜😜
9
For the love of god: he knows at 9 or 90. Didn’t you?!
Identity politics
A 9 year old boy does not know that he is gay.
OMG Why do we need to hear about fake PR from the zuckerberg puppet? enough
Ohh God... Such fake s**t...
Who is disguising as a little boy? Please leave the underaged out of this!
🚮
Wtf! This is just sick!! 9 years old and he thinks he's gay? I have no problem with LGBTQ people but this boy is just a little kid and this is not okay! Ffs he's 9!!! What is the world coming to for this to be the new normal... Please protect the kid for his own sake.
🤮
Why does he needs to tell the world?
This doesn’t sound right..this looks fake...a 9yr old knows he’s gay already😳🤦♀️🤦♀️...
Being gay and able to come out doesn't qualify you for a Presidency. His bread fixing and insurance profiteering are scary sign thst
Proudly GAY:totally stupid
so obviously staged....
9 years old ?
Now a 9 year old brave because he thinks he's gay ... When you take fighting to eat and survive out of the table, complete idiocy becomes the predominant train of thought.
MSNBC ABC A 9 year old?! WTF! At 9 you shouldnt be thinking about having a sex life kid,wtf is wrong with this country?! Ridiculous!
Thanks a lot liberals, you have gay sexualized our youth.
All these idiots commenting about no one that young knows. When did you know you were straight?
A 9 year old knows he’s gay! Really? Shame on society!
Lost Kid. What a Tragedy
Sex. Abuse really. Pushing sex onto younger and younger children. Sick!!!!!
The lefty feel good staged story of the day.
Pretty sure a 9 year old hasn’t hit puberty to even have such feelings. And this is the problem with pushing this crap on people.
This is why we need Pete! ❤️
If any 9 year-old already thinks he/she can't get enough dong, I'd investigate the parents.
Oh FFS... Stop Already..!!!
Swaying pre-puberty children's sexual orientation to queer is pure pedophilia. This child has a great awakening coming in the next few years, which 98% of kids navigate by nature's method.
CNN thought this was important enough to retweet so same reply, I’m impressed that a 9 yo decided one day .... I think I’ll write a question to a presidential candidate telling him how brave I think he is and ask the candidate for advice about how to tell the world he’s gay too.
Wow is sad to see all this homophobic people... I’m sure will be DIFFERENT IF WAS AN HETEROSEXUAL BOY HAVING A CRUSH IN A GIRL... guys we are in 20/20 where we need to be open minded...
I didn't appreciate Buttigieg exploiting a child to normalize his own sexual behavior as an adult.
When I was 9, I was riding my bike, playing with friends. Sexuality never crossed my mind. Kids are being conditioned and rewarded for “being” gay. Liberals love to use children as political puppets. Shameful.
9-year olds.
Pete, I’m reminded that Medicare for all has been tried and failed!! What about the VA? Not military but government run that has crashed and burned! So many Vets have been denied GOOD health care if ANY!
HE IS NINE!! 🙄
Why is telling the world you are gay equates to bravery ? Your sexuality should be your own and regardless of whom you love , it should be between you and the person you love . Braves are the soldiers fighting all over the world without questioning why they are in 12th century!
Either CNN, the kid or the parents, who is sick
That was a slam dunk question. If he’d answer any other way he’d be destroyed in the press. But, it was a great chance for him to show his humanity. Also, that boy is brave and I wish him the best.
9 year old?
This is an awkward subject for anyone. Should be interesting to see how situations like these work out for all candidates. P.S. Trump probably would have had the kid escorted out
I bet Pete Buttplug, andersoncooper and donlemon got wood over this little fakeNews story.
As someone who knew they were bisexual At 11, this makes my heart happy
PeteButtigieg You are so awesome ♥️

This is Gay
It. Was. Staged. And. It. Was. Awkward. As. F.
The mere fact that this article is worthy of such debate tells us how far society has to go towards achieving kindness and acceptance. It shouldn’t be an issue - it’s a child interacting with a candidate. What is the big deal for others?
sharoncrowstar Beautiful
9yrs old? I guarentee, guarentee, absolutely his parents put him up to this!
A nine year old? BS! He hasn't even found his pee pee yet
He’s 9?
I suspect some parents are some how involved in politicizing this child's sexuality.
What does a 9 year old know about being gay? They are not sexually mature at that time to know what sex they prefer. But what do I know, I was 9 a long time ago.
Hey how about the WEINSTEIN CASE? I don't feel the 'JIHAD' or 'Crucifixion of Christ' energy like Bill Cosby. Where are THE FEMINUTS charging after their oppressor? This is the'NOOZ'....
I would suggest PeteButtigieg doesn’t run with this story. Contrary to what he might think, not a chance this will play in his favor. But let’s see how this plays out!!
.......😐😒
BoSnerdley programmed precociousness
Isn't this child abuse?
Here we go. What Trump will do with that. Vote for Sanders or Warren for honesty and change.
When a 9 year old knows about sex and sexuality there is something seriously wrong with society and the enablers of such debauchery.
Set-up for sure. We aren’t stupid. Quit using kids.
A 9 y/o doesn't know gayness if he sees it in front of him!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣only cnn
It sickens me how many people seem to think that being gay is only about gay sex. Do ya'll not know about crushes? Lmao
Oh for Christ's sake 🤦♀️
Completely out of the blue, a woke, gay 9 year old asked me.... This is going right into the Shit That Didnt Happen file.
Buttigieg is a Mediterranean Queen, being gay is like a right of passage there.
realJasonHuang I was gay when I was 5
Pete has a 9 year old on his campaign? I suspect a 30 something staff member wrote this. This guy is even more shameless than LiarBeth Warren.
And who cares about this? Why is this even an issue? Why is this even news?
This is disturbing, my 9 year old thinks he’s a helicopter
This gay stuff is getting out of hand. Got a lot of love for the gay community but God damn 9 years olds brains aren't even developed and yet they're saying stuff like that. People really need to stop pushing gay agenda everywhere. Especially on kids.
Angela Davis : ' I support the replacement of political 'leaders' (mayor, deputy, senator..) by renewed assemblies made up of American citizens elected by lot for 1 month, giving right to compensatory allowances ($130 / day), accommodation & training to take up their duties. '
How does a 9yr old know they are gay? He is a child!
As a gay man.. reading this 😒😒😒😒😒😒 This is my response. Dear media: 'Gretchen, stop trying to make fetch happen! It's not going to happen! '
Pete is an inspiration! I can’t wait until he gets back into local gov’t and can continue to help people in his community!
9 years old? Really? Children choosing their sexuality at that age? This was not on my radar at 9 years old🙄
Oh my Lord!
The 'progressive' (leftist) utopia: LGBT paradise where everyone has sex but, of course, few have children. To avoid calamity through depopulation, mass migration from (sounds familiar?) begins, specially from poor, Muslim-majority countries. But Muslims+LGBT=disaster. The End.
The fact that there is a stigma around being different in any is disgusting. Celebrate the differences.
Why did you publish a minor's name?
?, , ?.
Where does a 9 year old get this kind of bs from? Could it be fake news?! Could it be parents with an agenda? Could it be CNN with an agenda? I remember in the 80’s preachers saying there would come a time when you couldn’t speak against sexual perversion. Folks, it’s now!!
9 yr old? Sick
Sureeeeee! Ill tell the media about this so EVERYONE knows youre gay and i get to benefit off 'helping' you. Authenticity is invaluable.
You people are sick.
Sad. Immoral. Ungodly.
😑 - world
Mayor Pete's whole platform is being gay, let's see how far that takes him
Sick
You people mannnn
