TUCKER CARLSON SAYS PETE BUTTIGIEG EMBRAC ‘ANTI-GAY VICTIMHOOD NARRATIVE’ (VIO)

The hband of Transportatn Secretary and former a2020 printial ndidate Pete Buttigieg is speakg about the young adult adaptatn of his memoir, cludg his experience g out as gay. * gays against pete buttigieg *

Jacksonville Jaguars’ Kev Maxen is the first male major pro men’s ach to e out as gay.

Co-chair of Michigan’s Republin party, referred to the first openly gay bet secretary as a “weak ltle girl” * gays against pete buttigieg *

As a young, hyperarticulate, openly gay technocrat who ocsnally read Norwegian novels, Buttigieg appealed to a certa segment of progrsiv who found him nfirmatn that they are supposedly more telligent, tolerant and sophistited than their untrymen. Buttigieg, the first openly gay man nfirmed to a Cabet posn, ma the remarks a wi-rangg terview at the Department of Transportatn wh members of the Natnal Associatn of Hispanic Journalists.

One thg I hope Andrew and I get to talk about tonight is the bizarre rejectn of Pete Buttigieg by the gay left.

Can the US revalise s astcture? Is the US ready for a gay print? And do Buttigieg still plan to n one day? * gays against pete buttigieg *

Gay wrer Masha Gsen of The New Yorker explas the Pete hate. What mak Buttigieg an easy and reassurg choice for the olr, whe, straight people, and a disturbg possibily for the queer people who seem to be cricizg him for not beg gay enough?

He is an old polician a young man’s body, a straight polician a gay man’s body. There is an openly gay, partnered man who is nng for print, and who stands a cent chance of gettg the nomatn — and, if he do, beg print.

Buttigieg, tth, is a radil ndidate, that he reprents the plete mastreamg of homosexualy and gay partnerships.

Masha Gsen wr about two distct typ of queer experienc and why Pete Buttigieg, a straight-passg gay man who reprents a queer polics of blendg to heteronormativy, is cricized by many L.G.B.T. dividuals. * gays against pete buttigieg *

If I were a gay person, I would be thrilled by what Buttigieg acplish jt by beg there the race, and beg pretty succsful at . I would be thrilled even if I wasn’t planng to vote for him, bee Buttigieg’s succs is a good sign of how much Ameri has changed to embrace homosexualy, and gay people — and how quickly.

The fact that the all-Amerin, Beaver Cleaver Democratic ndidate is an out and married gay man is the kd of thg that was pletely unthkable until the day before yterday.

Buttigieg’s succs is total vditn of Andrew Sullivan’s strategy, which was based on the ia that gay people serve the right to live ordary bourgeois liv, same as straight people. Masha Gsen’s objectns, though, dit the fundamental hatred some ant gay people have towards bourgeois society.
