“My wife DeeAnn and I watched with awe as Pete and Chasten Buttigieg ran a trailblazing campaign for the nation’s highest office. But what doesn’t get talked about very often is how hard it is to be ‘the first.’”
“As the first gay couple on the campaign trail, Pete and Chasten had to deal with probing questions about their personal lives, protestors shouting vulgarities about their sexuality, and a whole level of political theater that Chasten’s theater degree did not cover!”
"And yet…they persevered."
Yes, they did!
Yes, they did!
They spread a message of unity that our country so badly needs right now. They changed hearts and minds, lifted spirits & gave people hope — people like a 9-year-old boy named Zachary in Colorado, who asked Pete for help coming out to the world."
