If Pete Buttigieg wins the Democratic nomination and beats Donald Trump – he’ll be smashing a lot of records. But for LGBT+ people around the world, one will stand out.
If he wins, Pete Buttigieg will be the first openly gay president of the US. (Note the word ‘openly’. In fact, several former presidents are rumored to have been gay or bi, including Abraham Lincoln and James Buchanan.) Buttigieg’s possible victory may have seemed ludicrous a year ago.
