It's not the first time anti-gay protesters have crashed one of Buttigieg's political events.
Presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg did his best Friday night to ignore a small but vocal group of protesters who yelled anti-gay slurs and told him to"repent" during a speech in Dallas, Texas.
The fracas was also quickly denounced by former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke, who is running against Buttigieg for a spot on the Democratic ticket. Right-wing trolls have also attempted to weaponize Buttigieg's identity. Conspiracy theorist Jacob Wohl reportedly attempted to launch a smear campaign against the presidential hopeful by using false allegations of sexual assault—a foiled plan that echoed Wohl's attempts to undermine Special Counsel Robert Mueller during his investigations into 2016 election meddling.
While speaking at a brunch for the LGBTQ Victory Fund on April 7, Buttigieg, an Episcopalian, responded to those who attempted to delegitimize his campaign and marriage based on religious arguments.
