Religious right declares defiant homosexual Mayor Pete is biggest threat in presidential race
By Alex Bollinger ·
Monday, April 15, 2019
A prominent Christian conservative has said that South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg is the biggest threat to religious liberty in history.
Bryan Fischer is the Director of Issues Analysis for the SPLC designated anti-LGBTQ hate group American Family Association.
In a column on the far-right website OneNewsNow, he calls Buttigieg an open and defiant homosexual and says that it makes sense to reject him for his sexual proclivities comparing being gay to being Donald Trump.
We can certainly understand the lefts condemnation of President Trump for his sexual romps with porn stars 12 or 13 years ago, Fischer writes. This means, of course, that unless they are profoundly hypocritical, [progressives] will be able to understand our legitimate concerns about Buttigiegs aberrant sexual conduct and what it means for his qualifications to become the leader of the Free World.
Fischer is quite clear that his problem is with Buttigiegs sexual orientation, not just his policies, but he also goes after his policies.

The LAST thing anyone should be interested in is what other people do in their bedrooms

As Pete Would Say, "Bless Them Father for They Know Not What They Do." Besides, They Are Idiots!

No, that's not why I support Pete, and I don't think that's why he is being pushed.

+1. Even without the gay angle, anti-intellectualism has always been a powerful undercurrent

Gay issue aside, I think he might be the only one who really could beat Trump.
