March 30, 20197 yr Active Members Am I the only one who sees “Buttplug” everytime I see his name? I know it’s third grade humor at best....but it’s true!
March 30, 20197 yr Author Active Members You need to hear him speak. That should reframe your reaction to him. He's a quality guy and we can be proud that he is not messing this up. In other words, he speaks well for his community. I am proud of him.
March 30, 20197 yr Author Active Members In Friday's NY Times, there was a favorable article about Butigieg. What I noted in the article that concerned me was a statement from David Axelrod, Obama's former political consultant. He is supposed to be a friend of Pete's, but he says that Beto O'Rourke has a bigger fishing pole than Pete does. I guess he would know, but they are fishing for many of the same voters. I hope the contest does not come down to who has the bigger pole. The women candidates would not fare well. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/28/us/politics/buttigieg-2020-president.html Edited March 30, 20197 yr by Lucky add link

What I like the most of him is that he does not represent the gay community but every rational, empathetic, common sense person. I never like religious people, but I do like him a lot.

April 9, 20197 yr Active Members He's the first candidate I've donated to this time. I hope he continues to do well.
April 9, 20197 yr Author Active Members He is speaking very well. Even if ultimately he doesn't win, he i saying things that the other candidates shy away from. Ill be sending in my own check.

I never like religious people, but I do like him a lot. As far as religious denominations go, the Episcopal Church is gay-affirming and offers a lovely liturgical service. One Sunday morning a few years ago a provider and I entered an Episcopal cathedral midway through the service and lustily sang the recessional hymn.
April 9, 20197 yr Yeah, he talks about policy like he knows his way around it. Hopefully, he will go all the way...
April 14, 20197 yr Author Active Members I made my first donation and bought my first t-shirt today to support Pete Buttigieg
