"A lot of us in the LGBTQ+ community have been subjected to slurs and name-calling, and a lot of us have turned the other cheek, thinking it would do no real good to call out the homophobes and haters.
But times have changed with social media, and the idea that homophobes and bigos and haters can call you names from the comfort of their own mother’s basement, and some of us still choose to do nothing.
Enter Chasten Buttigieg. A homophobic troll left an insulting comment on a photo of Chasten and his family, and Chasten didn’t let him get away with it."

Way to go, Chasten! Those who have a platform can do more and he knows it. Bravo!!!
Thank you for posting this.
An amazing story that I had not heard. Thanks for posting it. -Larry
Why are those brainless bigots are always posting such «shit» on a gay couple who is admirable and doing a very «normal life».
Something that we rarely see here in Canada and even more rare in Province of Québec where I live. We have many gay couples, men and women, that are having kids and many of our public stars or politicians are looked at as raw models.
When I was married to a women with my 3 children, we were a foster parent home and our goals were also to reeducate those children that had very bad experiences given by «straight» parents. So it's not because you are a man and a woman with kids that it makes you automaticly a GOOD parent.
Isn't it often seen that pedophilia and child sexual assaults and rapes are done by «normal heterosexual» people ?
Shame on those who are bashing on gay couples who are doing their best to live «normal» lives.
@Larry: Just something that raised my interest in the usual Twitter's storm in a cup of water.
I am not comfortable, though, to know that the guy got eventually fired from his job solely due to his dumb comment. Could it be a clue at what the American way of living became? (at least according to Fox News - argh… now I get to wash my mouth)
@JiEL: I could not agree more.Raising children, educating and providing for them should solely be seen as matters from the heart. Definitively not based upon who the parents are nor their gender(s). Along human History and still now there are tribes that, altogether, take care of children and their education as a community, without actual care for the principle of 'family nucleus'. And it works like a charm.
