Pete Buttigieg impersonator whips Jesus in bizarre anti-gay protest

A bizarre anti-gay protest in Iowa has seen a Pete Buttigieg impersonator whipping a man dressed up as Jesus Christ while being egged on by Satan.

Gay presidential candidate Buttigieg has been canvassing in Iowa this week where he has been met by a number of anti-LGBT+ protesters.


In the bizarre scene—videos of which were shared online by Marcus DiPaola and Charlotte Alter—a man dressed up as Satan shouted: “Beat him Peter, beat him. I hate this guy. More blood, Peter. Every vote is a lash on the back of Christ.”

Where do these homophobes come from? I'll say this much, as a gay man, 100% of straight men that I've worked with, encountered throughout my life, if they are COMFORTABLE with their heterosexuality, they have NO issue at all with other gay men. Why would they? Gay men are no threat, right? It's those who are most questioning of their 'heterosexuality' that seem to have the biggest issue of gay men.

So, when you see idiots such as these, who have nothing better to do on a Wednesday, realize this, they probably were cowering in a corner, at the local gay bar, hoping to SCORE last night.

… I'm sorry! Mayor Pete seems the most Christian of all the candidates, to me... but he's not threatening anyone with his beliefs. Jimmy Carter was probably the most Christian President I remember... the current occupant seems like the LEAST Christian!

I think this display says a lot more about its participants than it does about Mayor Pete.
