'I’ve been dealing with the likes of Rush Limbaugh my entire life.' 'What I’m actually worried about are the young people in this country...wondering if this country is actually a safe place for them to be,' Chasten Buttigieg tells Linsey Davis.
"America's still not ready to elect a gay guy kissing his husband on the debate stage president," Limbaugh said."The idea of the likes of Rush Limbaugh or Donald Trump lecturing anybody on family values. I mean, I'm sorry, but one thing about my marriage is it's never involved me having to send hush money to a porn star after cheating on my spouse with him or her. So they want to debate family values? Let's debate family values.
"I think it is time for moral leadership to be restored to the White House," he continued."So when you are ready to share that deepest truth about yourself, when you are ready to step out of the closet, you step out into something hopeful and inclusive and you look up to Washington and you see a president who cares about you and loves you."
"I grew up in a pretty socially conservative place. … I went to a school where, you know, if you weren't on the football team or one of the jocks that, you know, you were picked on and bullied and belittled," he said. But Chasten Buttigieg says he's careful about telling his coming out story and what ensued to other people. His story, he said, is a lot different from other people's.
Chasten Buttigieg says this election is not about policy. From homelessness to health care to the #MeToo movement, for him, it's personal.about a time when he claims he was sexually assaulted as a teenager. He said that the person who took advantage of him was a friend of his friends and that he didn't think they'd believe him if he told them.
Chasten Buttigieg said he shared his story with his husband very early in their relationship."It was the first time I really felt like someone got it, and understood how difficult maybe a touch on the shoulder could be for somebody who had that experience," he said.
