Buttigieg discussed the turmoil he faced as a young gay man growing up in Indiana during a speech in D.C.
Presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg opened up about the inner turmoil he faced as a young gay man growing up in Indiana while speaking at a brunch for the LGBTQ Victory Fund on Saturday.
"The main reason it’s hard to think about is that if I had had that opportunity, I would never have found Chasten. That the best thing in my life would not have happened at all— my marriage," he continued."The thing that I can’t even describe without lapsing into clichés." "People often talk about things like marriage equality as a moral issue," said Buttigieg on Sunday."And it is certainly a moral issue in my personal life. It’s a moral issue because being married to Chasten has made me a better human being. It has made me more compassionate, more understanding, more self-aware and more decent. My marriage to Chasten has made me a better man.
