9-year-old asks Buttigieg how to be strong and tell people he is gay too

A 9-year-old boy at a rally for Pete Buttigieg in Denver asked the Democratic presidential candidate for advice on how to be brave and tell the world he is gay.

“I don't think you need a lot of advice from me on bravery, you seem pretty strong,” Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Ind., responded. “It took me a long time to figure out how to tell even my best friend that I was gay, let alone go out there and tell the world. And to see you willing to come to terms with you who you are in a room full of thousands of people you never met, that’s really something.”

The question was from Zachary Ro, who told the Colorado Sun it was a spur-of-the-moment decision to write down his question as he entered the rally Saturday night.
