Focus groups South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg’s campaign conducted found that black voters in South Carolina see the mayor’s sexuality as a “barrier.” A 21-page report the Benenson Strategy Group conducted examined black Democratic South Carolina voters in mid-July and found that “being gay was a barrier for these voters, particularly for the men who seemed deeply uncomfortable even discussing it. … [T]heir preference is for his sexuality to not be front and center.” (Snip) “I’ll go ahead and say it,” one male participant said, according to the State. “I don’t like the fact that he threw out there

I guess Petey never heard the line, once you go black, you never go back.

If a person needs to tell me about their sex, it is a barrier, as it is way more than I want to know about.

Someday a 2x4 needs to hit Alfred E. Buttigieg with the realization that no one is interested in his gayness. It is his private life. He had no business trying to use it as a platform. No one is buying what he is selling.

They actually had to pay for a poll to tell them this? I've been saying it since the day he announced.
The most homophobic group that Im aware of is Black American men.....folowed by Black women, good ole boys and Bible thumpers.
He can kiss most of the south and mid-west good bye.
Now......if he "happened" to be gay, didnt talk about it and doesnt act like a drama queen, most of tge above would overlook it. But..... thats his reason for running. He's in your face about it while lecturing everyone on what it means to be a "true christianity".

Homosexual behavior is listed as a sin. It is also listed as a mental illness. What's the surprise?

Here's a really odd phenomenon i'm noticing: Buttie looks more and more like Schiffty, who looks more and more like Bobby Frank O'Rourke who looks weirdly like Nancy Pelosi, yeah and t he whole Dem leadership blends in together in an amalgamation of the range of angry, violent facial expressions.
As the Dems and Nevermore Repubs (quoth the Raven) rant with fevered minds, they lose their grip on Truth because their hatred blinds them.

I like to think that being totally unqualified to be president is a barrier to being elected.

If you ask normal people to describe themselves, they will talk about their careers, their hobbies, their families, their religious beliefs, and other things that define them. The word "heterosexual" will never come up. That is because heterosexual is normal in our species.
The very fact that homosexuals have to define themselves first and foremost by their deviant sexual desires and action speaks volumes about their priorities and how mentally ill that lifestyle choice truly is!!!
And notice that I did say "lifestyle choice". We all have feelings and desires that may be deviant from the normal, but as human beings we know we don't have to try to live those deviant desires and feelings. Homosexuals, on the other hand, revel in their deviant desires!!!
And black men appear much better at realizing that truth than panty waisted lie-beral white people!!!

His focus groups may be surprised but there are a lot of people in the USA would not vote for Mayor Pete because he is a homosexual. No doubt there are so-called World Leaders in many different important countries who also would have as little to do with him as possible.

Agree with #12.
A significant percentage of Americans will never fly with a dude like bootyjuice holding hands and kissing his husband or whatever on the steps of the White House. They might lie about it in public to falsely appear "woke" but it's still too gross right now. Maybe in a few election cycles when we've completely fallen into oblivion but not now. Not yet.

I'm trying my hardest to imagine a People magazine article going all gushy about the gown that Buttgig's HUSBAND wore so well at the state dinner for Saudi Arabia. I hear laughter ringing out among the stars.

This highlights a major problem for dems, they are a collection of groups. Those groups are NOT monolithic in all their beliefs and interests. When the emphasize "gay" they polarize Blacks who, as a group, are more bothered by "Gayness".
In the past, dems have done a good balancing of the variety of interests. But now, they have riled up their various groups. It was supposed to be turned against Trump and Republicans but someone "riled up" is often just generally cantankerous to everything. They are less willing to compromise, even with the dems and they are more vocal about it. NONE of these candidates are a unification point for all the varied pieces of the dem party and without ALL the factions, the dems have no chance to beat Trump. Even unified, they will probably lose. Fractured, they are facing BIG trouble that may not only lose them the election but also fracture the party and prevent it from being a national force.
Many in the party KNOW this but are unable to get the Left to calm down and work for unification. Good for America but bad for the dems.

It wasn't exactly a plus with this straight, white woman either.

They could have paid me less than half of what the focus group cost and I would have told them this faster. If this wasn't obvious the campaign is clueless.

Separate from Peter's confusion about biological functions, he is an annoying little twerp. As mayor of a dying city, South Bend, Indiana, he wants to use the same failed leadership techniques and apply them to the United States. That makes no sense.
He may hang on, stay in the race, and hope for a VP nomination, but that would be a joke.
Cherokee Lizzie and the Queer. What a team! Jo Biden and the ladyboy! What a team!
Lady Lucifer and Peter the Homosexual! A team from Hell! (Two gays on the ticket may be too much, even for leftist voters.)

I have a hard time caring about other's opinions about down south. So much money to burn during election periods, but not much to make the country a better place to live.
