The Democratic presidential candidate told BuzzFeed News' Profile that Pence's rise 'chills a lot of us, especially in the LGBTQ community, to see that somebody like that can be in that kind of position of power.”
Part of what has moved his campaign so far is his identity — he isto voters as a millennial candidate who represents a new generation that is “walking away from the politics of our past.” Buttigieg, who publicly revealed that he is gay in 2015 in response to Pence-approved policies in his state, argues that identity “is part of our story.
At the same time, he said issues of identity should not be used by politicians to segment off blocs of voters. “Where I think we go off the rails is if we allow identity to become a wedge. And frankly, I think the current president, who has mastered what I would call white identity politics, has used identity in order to divide people who have a lot of common interests. We need to move past that,” he said. “That doesn't mean we move past acknowledging where we come from. It means that we take on board everything that makes us who we are. Everything that goes into our story.
