8 Democrat presidential candidates who have talked about their Christian faith
Pete Buttigieg
Openly gay South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg has garnered many headlines for his talk about his Episcopalian beliefs.
At an LGBT Victory Fund event, Buttigieg argued that entering a same-sex marriage actually strengthened his Christian faith.
“My marriage to Chasten has made me a better man — and yes, Mr. Vice President, it has moved me closer to God,” stated Buttigieg, as reported by USA Today.
“And that's the thing I wish the Mike Pences of the world would understand, that if you've got a problem with who I am, your problem is not with me. Your quarrel, sir, is with my creator.”
