Opinion: Faith, not sexual orientation, is what’s most interesting about Buttigieg
Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg speaks in New York last week. By Jennifer Rubin Jennifer Rubin Opinion writer covering politics and policy, foreign and domestic Email Bio Follow Opinion writer April 10 at 9:00 AM In a speech at an LGBTQ Victory Fund gathering over the weekend, Pete Buttigieg made headlines by talking about his coming out and his marriage. The South Bend, Ind., mayor spoke eloquently, but this wasn’t the most intriguing part of the speech.
“He talked about God in a room that’s probably full of atheists. That’s what I am,” Jacobson said. “He does it unabashedly and in a way that doesn’t come across as threatening, dismissive or negative.” In short, Buttigieg is telling Democrats that they should concede nothing to Republicans on the topics of faith and values, not because Trump is a miserable person, but because Democrats advance policies that happen to be consistent with our deepest faith traditions — the obligation to look after children , to treat the sick , to welcome the stranger and to care for the planet .
