"How many roads must a man walk down
Before we can call him a man?
...The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

Mayor Pete Buttigieg stood before the cameras yesterday and shared his hard journey in accepting the fact that he is gay. Every American ought to hear his words which were genuine and spoken from the heart. He shares about the difficult path he has had in accepting who he is. He clearly states that to be gay is not a choice. He is serving as Mayor of South Bend for a second term. This Presidential candidate revealed that he is a Christian, a practicing Anglican with a husband. He served in the Naval Reserve from 2009 to 2017 attaining the rank of lieutenant. He also served in the war in Afghanistan. This Mayor speaks seven languages and is a Rhodes scholar.
This country is vast and diverse. Surely the day will come when who we are--not what we do--shows the character of our hearts. I recommend this video to all. And I wish Mayor Buttigieg well as he helps us ponder what makes America great. --Roger Lovette
Thanks, Roger. He is well-spoken and intelligent. He appears to be sincere, though I'll admit to having become pretty cynical lately. Wonder why?!
