Pete brought tears to my eyes.

As a gay man in a rural town, seeing him up there not being judged, being cheered on, and belonging... it meant a lot.

Regardless of who wins the nomination, I am so glad Pete ran.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

However, I'm not 100% sure Pete Buttigieg won.

I do think it was either him or Sanders. Maybe even Warren.

The problem is, by the time we find out, it will be too late to do anyone any good. That is a real shame.

How far our country has come! With much further to go, obviously, but what a lovely moment.

(Also, I love Chasten!)

Biden or Buttigieg, with Klobuchar a close third. Considering where we started, with 24 Democrats yearning for the office of president, I think I've winnowed them down pretty good.
