When Pete Buttigieg asked Rev. Al Sharpton for advice on campaigning for president in the South’s Bible Belt as an openly gay white man, the civil rights leader responded, “I think you should say, ‘I am who I am.’”
Sharpton suggested Buttigieg put the black LGBT community “on the table,” particularly when the mayor returns to campaign in South Carolina next month. It was there that Buttigieg called for abolishing the death penalty and said he would sign a bill to commission a study on reparations for descendants of slaves.
“The problem I have is some people will just come find me,” Buttigieg continued. “They’ll come to my rally, they’ll rush to my event, they’ll be at my fundraiser. But if I’m only talking out to the people who come to me, it’s not going to become more diverse.”“I got to,” said Buttigieg.

Franklin Graham Gets Holy Hell After Telling Pete Buttigieg To Repent For Being GayEvangelist Franklin Graham is being called out for hypocrisy after slamming2020 Democratic presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg for 'sin' because he isgay I like how Franklin invokes the Old Testament laws when denouncing homosexuality while conveniently ignoring the others crazy laws like those that condone slavery and rape. I’m sure he’s got some convoluted explanation to justify his stance. Franklin Graham is an abomination to the Christian faith. Matthew 7:3, Franklin, read it.

Pete Buttigieg, a gay Christian, is driving the religious right nutsThe only Democrat talking at length about his faith in the 2020 primary also happens to be the only gay candidate in the race. And he's one of the few from a red state. zbyronwolf All religious people are nuts zbyronwolf CNN has to make up controversies for their poor ratings. zbyronwolf Because its largely incompatible. You cant ask to be forgiven for a sin you are going to continue to commit. It is what it is, the God of the bible clearly denounces homosexuality. So to be a gay-christian seems self contradictory.

Pete Buttigieg wants a 'grand bargain' on immigration that includes 'something to do for Dreamers'“The dark miracle of this administration is that it’s taken immigration—a subject on which basically there’s a consensus on the part of people about what to do—and turned it into a wedge,” he said. IT'S TIME FOR 'DREAMERS' TO STOP DREAMING & BECOME WHAT THEY ARE REAL AMERICANS. STOP PLAYING WITH THESE INNOCENT PEOPLE LIVES. Warren releases detailed plans and gets no press but Mayor Pete says some vague words about a “grand bargain” and media immediately drops a story about it like its revolutionary; as if every nominee isn’t similarly open to making a deal on immigration 🙄
