OPN AMERI HAS ALREADY HAD A GAY PRINT

“If elected, you would be the first openly gay print of the Uned Stat, ” Stephen Colbert said to Pete Buttigieg after the mayor of South Bend, Ind., clared his ndidacy. While the characterizatn of beg openly gay or “out” is relatively new, the fact is the Uned Stat has already had a gay print whose ntemporari knew : Jam Buchanan.

BUTTIGIEG: I CAN W THE PRINCY BEE I’M A GAY MAN IN ‘MIKE PENCE’S INDIANA’

Ined, the Uned Stat has also had a gay vice print and, maybe more surprisgly, a gay senator om stunts takg U. Andrew Jackson referred to Kg as “Miss Nancy”— a phemism for a gay ntemporari lled Kg Buchanan’s “better half, ” and one ngrsman referred to him as “Mrs.

” All this would be que peculiar if Buchanan was not gay.

At most uld suggt Buchanan was not openly discsg this moment, we fet that beg gay the mid-19th century did not tomatilly exclu a man om natnal learship. The ia that some people, cludg policians and social lears, are gay was not news or shockg to our forefathers.

A MARRIED GAY MAN IS NNG FOR PRINT. THAT’S A BIG AL.

S., sorry, Pete Buttigieg, you n’t aim to be the first gay print, although you uld be the first married gay print. Would you vote for a printial ndidate who was openly gay? “If you want to talk about the pacy to w, try puttg together a aln to brg you back to office wh 80 percent of the vote, as a gay du Mike Pence’s Indiana, ” Buttigieg said.

“If you want to talk about the pacy to w, try puttg together a aln to brg you back to office wh 80% of the vote as a gay du Mike Pence’s Indiana.

Buttigieg did not e out as homosexual until years after he was elected mayor the town of South Bend, populatn 100, 000. The hastily and stupidly crafted amendment they enacted durg Holy Week provis that Indiana’s RFRA n never be ed as a fense any gay rights or other civil rights proceedg by anyone other than a clergyman, church, or relig stutn.

Should Buttigieg w his long-shot bid for the Democratic nomatn, he will bee the first nomee of a major polil party who publicly intifi as gay.

That a gay married man is nng a ser mpaign for print, however, is a big al, and we shouldn’t let the improbabily of his ndidacy stop om acknowledgg this moment. Gay marriage was legal only two stat January 2009 – Massachetts and Connecticut. Barack Obama beme Print, and although he was supportive of expandg legal rights for the LGBT muny and gay upl, he was on the rerd durg his mpaign as beg opposed to same-sex marriage.

I am not favor of gay marriage, ” Obama told MTV News durg the 2008 mpaign. In 2010, Print Obama signed to law the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell Repeal Act, endg a policy enacted 1993 that prevent gay men and lbians om servg openly the ary. Three years later, the Supreme Court led that stat nnot ban same-sex marriage, makg legal natnwi for gay and lbian upl to marry.

And durg this time, ndidat who publicly intify as gay, bisexual and transgenr have broken barriers wh their ws. In 2012, Wisns’s Tammy Baldw beme the first gay person elected to the US Senate (she was re-elected 2018).

In last year’s midterm electns, Colorado’s Jared Polis beme the first gay man the US to be elected ernor, Kyrsten Sema, who is bisexual, won a US Senate seat Arizona, and Sharice Davids, a lbian, won her US Hoe race Kansas.

All of this is to say, que simply, that a relatively brief perd of time, the polics surroundg gay marriage and LGBT equaly shifted dramatilly. For a lol stunt stgglg wh her sexualy, might be helpful for an openly gay mayor to send the msage that her muny will always have a place for her. And for a nservative rint om a different generatn, whose unease wh social change is partly rooted the imprsn that he don’t know anyone gay, perhaps a faiar face n be a remr that we’re all this together as a muny.

But one thg is for sure: Havg a gay ndidate – or nomee, or print – is no longer such a farfetched ia.

But given at least 43 of them were servg at a time when homosexuals were still opprsed, there has long been speculatn of a few gay trysts flyg unr the radar. The 44th and current Print is a strong supporter of LGBT equaly – and his emphatic support has sparked speculatn among homophob. Conspiracy theorist Wayne Marsn claimed prevly that Obama “ed basketball pick-up gam to pick up men”, and had “homosexual trysts wh Reprentative Artur Davis, Massachetts Governor Deval Patrick and Senate majory lear Bill Frist”.

The late Joan Rivers add fuel to the nspiracy theory fire, when she joked of a gay Print: “We already have wh Obama… you know Michelle is a tr***y”.

Lyndon B Johnson served as the 37th Print om 1963 to 1969 – amid showdowns over ernment persecutns of gay people.

Right-wg pund Ann Coulter famoly acced Bill Clton of beg a “latent homosexual”, addg: “I thk that sort of rampant promiscuy do show some level of latent homosexualy. David Letterman joked: “While the former Print adms he once told Coulter that he’s gay, was simply a pole exce to expla why he wasn’t htg on her bony ass.
