He'll never be president (not yet, anyway), but he's an interesting participant.
Why You Love Mayor Pete
Why are people so in love with the mayor of South Bend, Ind., who almost nobody had heard of until he did a CNN town hall on March 10?
I doubt he’d be getting the same amount of attention if he was straight. He’s gone from nobody has heard of him before to articles about how his partner would be the first husband if he ran for president and won. That’s quite the leap.
It’s the same type of pandering we see when a woman or minority accomplishes something that many others have accomplished, but they’re written about as though they’ve walked on water.
I guess people have such low expectations for some members of society, that doing what many others have done puts them in an elite category. It’s offensive.
He gets extra attention because he's gay, just as Obama did because he is black. A lot of liberals like to go out of their way in these cases because it makes them feel better about themselves. I'm gay and my partner and I see this all the time, whereby liberals like to use 'minorities' as pawns.

More like having representation from their party make-up. And you are not speaking for all liberals just as anyone saying that all conservatives are racists is a dumb thing to say.
America is not putting a gay couple in the White house.
