    Asking @PeteButtigieg to repent for being gay is like asking @Franklin_Graham to repent for being stupid. God made him that way. The difference is that @PeteButtigieg has something to be proud of. https://www.thedailybeast.com/franklin-graham-calls-for-pete-buttigieg-to-repent-for-being-gay?source=twitter&via=desktop … via @VRDesktop desktop

        Homophobia is not just a GOP problem. Minnesota campaign worker @ChrisHoroshak was harassed by two DFL operatives named Stark and Vanderflute, and the good ole boys covered it up. @ChrisHoroshak is now running for state senate and will make sure this never happens to anyone else.

        His attitude might be reflective of an inability to reflect on the difference between Christian vs American cultural 'values'. St Peter had to accept things that where once seen as taboos. He was open to God's direction. American evangelicals seem more like Pharisees to me. #LGBT

        It's also possible his misspent youth affected his intelligence. Speculating some more, maybe he's just a typical American capitalist who knows what sells. I'm convinced the REAL god of America is the greenback. #USpoli #Greed

        Evangelical christianity is not and was NEVER about morality or even christianity. it was always - from the start - ALWAYS about leveraging faith to gain domestic political power.

        Actually, Evangelical Christianity has nothing to do with what the Bible actually says or in Christianity. It is a creation of America and is a sick modern invention

        Have evangelicals have given up on the God's love part of what it means to be a Christian and replaced it with Trump's hate?

        For Evangelicals it was always the latter.

        Think Evangelicalism has always been a numbers game for power and money. Morality never really played a part, and Evangelicals’ embrace of an adulterer/stealer/coveter/false witness bearer/golden calf worshipper has exposed them.

        If I had any religion I'd surely be losing it now…So sick of hypocrisy. Mayor Pete is a well educated role model who cares about the country as a whole instead of one deluded base.

        Pete has nothing to repent for. Sexuality's innate as skin color. He's living his truth of compassion, asking only for the chance to help the most vulnerable among us. Graham's living his truth of greed & lies, preying on the same people to enrich himself. God knows the Truth

        Franklin Graham prefers straight men who grab women by the pu**y, are credibly accused of sexual assault by 19 women, who cheats on his wife with porn stars soon after she has his son, and who lie without a second thought. I’m pretty sure he ceded the moral high ground long ago.
