Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.) was spotted serving drinks at a gay bar in Des Moines on Friday to kick off Pride Month celebrations in the city this weekend.
The senator took orders from patrons behind the bar at The Blazing Saddle while answering questions about her policies.

Guy asks @SenGillibrand what her favorite drink is to order it, just gets handed hers instead
“It seems like it’s just whiskey straight!” he says #IACaucus pic.twitter.com/KnOuawvZig— Iowa Starting Line (@IAStartingLine) June 8, 2019

The 2020 hopeful was also spotted with Chasten Buttigieg, the spouse of campaign rival Pete Buttigieg, where she was shopping for rainbow pride gear at a popular Des Moines-based retailer.
So this just happened. @Chas10Buttigieg is helping @SenGillibrand shop for pride. I love Iowa. #IACaucus #FirstRateFirstState #PrideMonth
