Queer activists disrupt Pete Buttigieg event in San Francisco: 'We deserve better'

Probably that the LGBT Community isn't monolithic. Or ... a Red Team 'Dirty Tricks' operation is in play. (?)

COULD BE. I JUST FOUND IT AMUSING...

[anonymoose]

What exactly is the point of your thread?

The point I got is that even dim queers can't agree on their candidates. Then you got the neo-con dims vs the radical socialists. Geez, it's a food fight amongst you guys.

[Grokmaster]

That's because they took the words of oppression against them. They are taboo words if used by others in judgment or hate.

OH, YOUR GREAT , MORAL SANCTITY IS AN INSPIRATION TO US ALL...

[Grokmaster]

Bootjudge does not appear gay enuff.

He needs to take lessons from this guy ...

YES. APPARENTLY SOME CAMPAIGN STOPS IN DRAG ARE CALLED FOR....

OH, YOUR GREAT , MORAL SANCTITY IS AN INSPIRATION TO US ALL...

Typical soy boy SJW.

[MAGA MAN]

So BOOTYPLUG IS NOT "QUEER ENOUGH", APPARENTLY.

YOU CANNOT MAKEUP BETTER COMEDY THAN THIS!!!!





Queer activists disrupt Pete Buttigieg event in San Francisco: 'We deserve better'


At the center of San Francisco’s National LGBTQ Center for the Arts, two queer activists stood up and disrupted a private fundraiser for Pete Buttigieg after he received a question from the audience about his husband, Chasten.

The packed room quickly booed down the activists, drowning out their pointed questions on Friday with chants of “Boot-Edge-Edge! Boot-Edge-Edge!” as they were escorted out of the building.

“I respect your activism, but this is a gathering for supporters of our campaign and I just got a question about my husband and I’m really excited to answer it,” Buttigieg quipped from stage, drawing strong applause from the crowd.

The activists were part of a group protesting outside the event that reflected a growing disquiet among the LBGTQ+ community when it came to the Buttigieg campaign. Buttigieg may be the first openly gay candidate to sweep the national stage and perform as well as he has in Iowa and New Hampshire, but more and more young queer voters say they feel he is not representative of them or their experiences.


We need better, we deserve better,” Adiel Pollydore, a 26-year-old program director with Student Action who is black and queer, told the Guardian. “There’s a level of irony that this event costs hundreds of dollars to attend in the Mission, a historically Latinx and immigrant neighborhood. What does it say that this event is not accessible to the folks that live in the neighborhood where it’s being held?”

Tickets to the fundraiser started at $250. The Guardian received a ticket from a donor associated with the groups organizing the protests.

“You’re homophobes, that’s what you all are, you’re homophobes!” a Buttigieg supporter yelled at the protesters after the event.

“We’re all gay!” a protester responded.

“You interrupted that question,” the Buttigieg supporter said, walking toward Tamayo-Lee. “You’re deplorable.”

“Don’t walk up on us,” another protester said, shielding Tamayo-Lee.

“You’re walking up on us, going up on us because we’re gay men,” the supporter responded. “You’re horrible.”


The people who disrupted that fundraiser were all queer people of color,” Pollydore said. “We’re allowed to want the gay candidate who is running to do better and be better for queer communities of color. There’s nothing homophobic about that.”

While Buttigieg has been open about his sexual orientation, with his husband Chasten playing a large role in the campaign, Pollydore felt there was a level of erasure in the way Buttigieg spoke about and presented LGBTQ+ issues.

WELL ALRIGHTY THEN.....

Queers be queer...

[Grokmaster]

To let us all know that he's a very proud -- and triggered -- homophobe. I'd say he's pulled it off, wouldn't you?

MORE LIKE MY GREAT GIFT FOR DISCERNING INATELY HILARIOUS SITUATIONS....

Ah makes sense. So the OP's point is to break the misconception about the LGBT.

Good job, OP.

IF YOU WANT TO BELIEVE THAT, COOL WITH ME.

I WAS MORE ENJOYING A GOOD LAUGH THAT THE ONLY GAY CANDIDATE FOR THE PRESIDENCY ISN'T GAY ENOUGH FOR THE SAN FRANCISCO QUEERS....

Here’s a local article on it. These folks are part of a gay leftist/socialist group that thinks Mayor Pete is too corporate (doesn’t support free education and Medicare for all along with putting profits over people) and doesn’t represent the gay community.

I DON'T THINK SOCIALISTS "REPRESENT THE GAY COMMUNITY"....and?

Probably that the LGBT Community isn't monolithic. Or ... a Red Team 'Dirty Tricks' operation is in play. (?)

Or a Democratic rival? I don't think the Red Team is worried about Buttigieg.

Rather hilarious, ... given that homosexual males are one of the wealthiest demographics.
