    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.

    This discussion ended the moment it was decided to use the word queer so casually.

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

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

    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    What's the difference between a queer and a gay?

    Bootjudge does not appear gay enuff.

    He needs to take lessons from this guy ...





    "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."

    Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.

    D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.

    Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".

    That you should ask that question indicates you’re not sufficiently woke lol.

    No worries though, it’s impossible to be sufficiently woke. Just ask Mayor Pete.

    My guess was that a queer was a gay guy who was overtly effeminate vs a gay guy who presented fairly normal . I was wrong. Oh well. I'm definitely not woke.

    'Queer' was a misuse of words by (alleged) heterosexuals, 'gay' a misuse of words by homosexuals who wanted to bugger up the Gay Gordons dance and such.
