Buttigieg to Pence: 'If you got a problem with who I am, your problem is not with me -- your quarrel, sir, is with my creator'

Washington (CNN) — Democratic presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg on Sunday again took on Vice President Mike Pence -- whose stances on LGBTQ issues have faced criticism from gay rights activists -- saying that if Pence has "a problem with who I am, your problem is not with me -- your quarrel, sir, is with my creator."

Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, made the comments while speaking at the LGBTQ Victory Fund National Champagne Brunch in Washington. He reflected on his personal struggles with his sexuality, his decision to come out in 2015 and the fact that his being gay is not the result of a personal decision.

"If me being gay was a choice, it was a choice that was made far, far above my pay grade," Buttigieg said. "And that's the thing I wish the Mike Pences of the world would understand. That if you got a problem with who I am, your problem is not with me -- your quarrel, sir, is with my creator."

hit him where it hurts!

GREAT response from Pete Buttigieg! ~ I wish Mayor Pete well, and I'm fairly sure he KNOWS the gay-bashing will continue thru the entire campaign ~ in fact, I'm convinced the right's hatred/fear of gays is close to, if not surpassing, their hatred/fear of female candidates ~

Pence's response, of course, is that his Creator is not the same Creator as Buttigiegs. Pence's Creator loves all people except gays, trans, blacks, browns, non-submissive women, liberation Christians and any other odds and sods who aren't lily white.
