As a queer person, as a military veteran who lived under "Don't Ask, Don't Tell", in a society that tells us there is a limit to what someone who is LGBTQ can do, I am incredibly proud of Pete Buttigieg's historic candidacy. He has inspired and galvanized millions. (1/3)
A small-town mayor from Indiana has undoubtedly motivated the next generation of LGBTQ children in our country simply by standing up and asserting a leading stake in the Great American Experiment. And @Chas10Buttigieg has navigated all of this with empathy and class. (2/3)
Pete Buttigieg is putting his country above his ambition in this moment. It takes humility to look at a successful, historic campaign like this and decide that beating Trump is the most important thing. I am grateful to Buttigieg and his team and congratulate them.
