Is there any data to back this up? If so, then it's something that should be out there. Not to disqualify Buttigieg from running, but so that we can use it address the root cause of why a particular typically democrat voting demographic isn't voting democrat due to bigoted reasons.

Get the data. If the data checks, then we can come up with actual solutions that don't involve embracing bigotry by discouraging a candidate from running because of their sexual orientation.

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