Buttigieg’s husband: America ready for ‘authentic,’ gay president

Stressing American values of freedom, Democracy, and security, the husband of Democratic 2020 candidate Pete Buttigieg told a human rights rights group Saturday that the nation is “ready” for its first gay president.

“Over the last three months of traveling the country at his side, meeting people from all walks of life, we have discovered that people are united in protecting our values of freedom, Democracy and security. Especially freedom to live an authentic life regardless of who you love or how you identify,” Chasten Buttigieg told a Houston gala for the Human Rights Campaign.
