A truely interesting article about Pete Buttigieg [View all]
https://slate.com/human-interest/2019/11/pete-buttigieg-gay-archetype-best-little-boy.htmlCritics of Mayor Pete’s demeanor don’t recognize that his persona reflects the consequence of living in the closet, or “packing away his feelings,” as he put it to The Daily. Despite eventually coming out, getting married, and being the first openly gay man on the Democratic presidential primary stage, the coping mechanisms that he developed from being in the closet did not immediately vanish. When people criticize him for being calculated or robotic, I see the familiar traits of a gay man who had desperately tried to live in both worlds.
Way more at link but I don't want to choose for you what is important.
If I were to vote in a presidentialprimary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
