While I don’t ride or die for Pete Buttigieg, the vitriol directed at him is completely insane. “When I was younger I wished that I could have taken a pill to turn me straight; but I have accepted and embraced my identity now” is an *extremely* common sentiment from Millennial and older gay people!

When Pete Buttigieg says he would take medicine that makes gay men straight. What do you think is Mr. Buttigieg's attitude towards gays, men and medicine?

“This out gay man who was sixteen years old and living in Indiana when Matthew Shepard was murdered used to wish he could be straight. This proves that he is homophobic.” Do these people hear themselves?

I can't stand Pete and I think he is soulless, fake and compromised... but this attack on him sucks so bad. This anecdote shared by him is heartbreaking and strikes me as incredibly honest

he actively and intentionally enabled Elon Musk more than any other political official from 2021-2025, for starters

I would argue that depends on how much you consider NASA Administrator or National Security Advisor political figures as I think there is an argument they shielded and enabled Elmo even more. On DOT side Elon was already riding a decade of bureaucratic inertia before Pete stepped into the hot seat
