Nine-year-old boy adorably asks Pete Buttigieg advice on coming out as gay

[Behind the Aegis]

With the sleeves of his green gingham shirt rolled and a voting badge pinned to his chest, a nine-year-old boy hopped onto the Denver, Colorado, stage to shake hands with Democratic presidential candidate, Pete Buttigieg.

The boy had a simple question for the former South Bend, Indiana, mayor: “Would you help me tell the world I’m gay, too?”


“I want to be brave like you,” he said, reported BNN Bloomberg.

1. Am I the only one that thinks this kid's question should have been handled

with more privacy?

2. Probably

It was raised in a public event. He chose to run up to the stage and was welcomed with open arms by 1000s of people. Not sure there's a greater coming out story, frankly.

3. No, you're right. Apologies. It was a submitted question.
