special for people who worry that his sexuality could be a problem-

Buttigieg came out to his parents in early 2015, and to the public that summer, during his reëlection campaign. He went on to win with more than eighty per cent of the vote, and he married Chasten in 2018, in the Episcopal cathedral downtown. Anne Mannix, a doyenne of housing activists in South Bend, told me with some amazement about accompanying Buttigieg this year to the West Side Democratic and Civic Club’s Dyngus Day celebration, an all-day drinking fest in honor of Polish heritage. “And here are all these old Polish guys toasting Pete and Chasten—the Mayor and his husband.”
