Some things have been said.
Anyway, Mayor Pete was speaking at a the LGBTQ Victory Fund National Brunch and had a message for all the"Mike Pences" of the world, particularly about the"choice" of being gay.He said: “If you could have offered me a pill that could make me straight, I would have swallowed it before you could give me a swig of water."“It’s a hard thing to think about now. If you had shown me exactly what it was that made me gay, I would have cut it out with a knife.
He continued later,"If me being gay was a choice, it was a choice that was made far, far above my pay grade.""And that's the thing I wish the Mike Pences of the world would understand. That if you got a problem with who I am, your problem is not with me, your quarrel, sir, is with my creator."
