Pete Buttigieg says he will not repent for loving his husband

Presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg isn't in the mood to back down. 

The Indiana mayor has endured multiple homophobic attacks in recent weeks. But in an interview with columnist Jonathan Capehart at New York City's 92nd Street Y Wednesday night, Buttigieg didn't minimize his relationship with his husband, Chasten Buttigieg.

"What would you say to the Franklin Grahams of the world, the Mike Pences of the world, who have an issue with the LGBTQ community?" Capehart asked Buttigieg.

"I guess I would say that we all have a lot to repent for," Buttigieg said. "I have a lot to repent for when it comes to my marriage: Moments when I've not been as caring as I should be, moments when I've been selfish, moments when I've said a harsh word that I wish I could take back. But one thing that I absolutely should not be repentant for, in the context of my marriage, is the fact that I'm in love with my husband." Read more...
