I discussed with a gay couple last (men in their 60's). They laughed and said no way a gay man is going to get elected as the POTUS.

I said what about the 5 openly gay heads of government in Europe. They assured me that USA is a long way from Europe

The gen/pop in the US is anti Gay,
and Gays know this better than
anybody. They tolerate it as long
as it's not shoved in their faces.

I don’t think Buttigieg has a snowball’s chance in hell either.

Which makes EB’s obsession with him even stranger...

Right wingers have been pouncing on this. However, as usual, they are ignoring the context.
