The man has the guts to say it as it is.
@Jonathan Sterling This is what you got out of the interview? Well, that’s telling about you more than the topic.
@phil spd Well, big boys should be able to form such a simple sentence. Jonathan Sterling’s post was just a whiny rant – I mean, he should take his tampon out and say what he means. The other goober, “Goodmorning Sundaymorning”, is drawing conclusions about my position without having asked a single question about where I stand. I asked Jonathan what his gripe was – no reply. (shrug)
No one in this thread knows my thoughts on the matter.
@Silky Tp hard to get good conversations on here…
@phil spd I know Phil. Sometimes I make a point so others read it. Other times… it’s like using a laser pointer with a cat… I DO appreciate those who get it though.
@Silky Tp <-- a filthy chronic liar "That there are transgender girls/boys?" But of course that's entirely different than what I wrote, the poster is obviously an insane zealot.
Good for them.
As a proud mom of a man who loves his husband deeply, this so warms my heart…I remember the dark times that my son struggled to talk to his friends and other family members…he is happy and in a wonderful marriage! And any parent hopes that their child will find that happily ever after…thankfully mine did!
Thank you, Michelle. You remind me of my mother, rest her soul, and I hope for the Universe’s blessings on yours.
I love the red – I trust you are communicating Love love love ❤️
As usual – thank you Nicolle. You have been there from almost day one. You and MSNBC.
I enjoyed your interview. I support your efforts and find this issue heartbreaking for those suffering judgement for their life style.
Wow, he’s smart, just like Pete. 👍
Soy Boy, You are the party of the KKK and you support Biden using the N WORD!! HEY RACIST BOY GET OUT BOY!!
@Hairy legs Corn Pop stfu BOY.
@robert hollingsworth 🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏👍
@Hairy legs Corn Pop Do the words that you spew have some meaning for you? I can’t tell, but you do seem to be shouting for help. I hope you get better soon.
Beautiful words.
I still don’t feel like I’m welcomed in my own country. No matter what I do or accomplish, I feel like most people just wish we’d go away.
Don’t go.
The best revenge is not to go away. Continue to be the thorn in their sides. If they don’t give you a seat at the table, bring a folding chair.
@RaymondHng well, that’s the strategy I’ve employed over the years. I think if I make you uncomfortable, it’s past time for you to feel uncomfortable.
Thanks 😀
I don’t think you should go away either. Be out and be proud. You are needed and you are loved.
@Robert Madden What part of the country do you live? I’m in the DC area, very diverse, everyone is welcome.
The TRUTH of freedom is to be comfortable with who you are. You should be treated equally. It’s the 21st century…

Thank you Chasten, you are an amazing person, and of course so is Pete!! I hope Pete will be President someday
Me too! I hope I live long enough to say president Pete and first gentlemen Chasten!
We may kiss behind closed doors,
but you always hold my hand in the rain.
I love Pete & Chasten Buttigieg! Really great people that I admire! It’s about time we all get recognized! God Bless them and thier family! It’s Pride Month, and I want to celebrate as well!
Love Chasten and love that he is willing to speak up loudly in what he believes is important! Thanks for your honesty
Such a sweet, lovely man, and very eloquent. A great advocate for equal rights for all.
Good for him, maybe he should be in office. Well said!
Chasten and Pete talk so similarly, calmly, rationally. It’s hard to tell them apart. So cool that they have that in common. They are trustable.
Chasten: What a sincere and engaging man you are. Thank you for sharing your story and promoting equality for LGBTQ+ Americans.
Gotta love Chasten and Pete Buttigieg. I’m happy that they found each other.
It makes me sad to hear any children fear disownment for authenticity. I know it’s hard to trust “some random stranger on the interwebs.” Still, I have some mom energy for those who need a little guidance and kindness. Friendship at the very least.
Equality act? They won’t even vote to pass a bipartisan commission to investigate an attack against themselves! These people are a nightmare.
I don’t know the right term for our names on YouTube…avatar, handle, username? Anyway, yours is great, and I hope you keep roasting the jerks and ignoramuses.
