Pete Buttigieg heckled by homophobic protesters; Beto O'Rourke stands up for fellow candidate
Presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg was heckled by protesters at an event in Texas Friday night, but one of his fellow Democratic challengers was happy to immediately come to his defense.
Buttigieg came out as gay just four years ago, at 33 years old, in an op-ed for the South Bend Tribune. He married his boyfriend, Chasten, in June 2018. "Texans don’t stand for this kind of homophobia and hatred," O'Rourke wrote."Mayor Pete, we are grateful you came to Texas and hope to see you and Chasten back again soon."
"This moment of maximum peril in our country's history could become the moment of maximum promise if we're willing to see it through," O'Rourke told the assembled audience.
