Christian radio host: Pete Buttigieg’s ‘sexual proclivities disqualify him from the presidency’

As Pete Buttigieg‘s profile rose to a legit Democratic contender for president, many waited to see how the Christian right would respond to a married gay man seeking the highest office of the land. Now, we’re getting a look at how things are going to play out, and it’s just as ugly as anyone expected.

From within the message machine of the Christian right, the narrative is clear: Buttigieg’s life as a proud gay man is a threat to the religious liberty of bible-believing Christians, and he shouldn’t be allowed to become president.

Take for instance the Family Research Council’s prayer of the day condemning Buttigieg’s “radical ideology” which they say includes a “sweeping LGBTQ expansion of the civil rights code through the Equality Act and rolling back President Trump’s military transgender policy.”
