Chasten Buttigieg responds to Rush Limbaugh's homophobic comments

In an ABC News feature set to air Thursday night, Chasten Buttigieg responds to homophobic comments made by Rush Limbaugh about America being uncomfortable with a gay president.

Anchor Linsey Davis brings up Rush’s remarks for the network’s “Running Mates” series and Chasten, the husband of Democratic hopeful Pete Buttigieg, says he’s been dealing with people like Limbaugh all his life.

In a preview clip for the interview, which will be broadcast at 7 pm ET on the streaming news channel ABC News Live, Davis gauges Chasten’s reaction to Limbaugh saying America doesn’t want to see a “gay guy kissing his husband” at a debate.

“Well, look this isn’t new. I’ve been dealing with this my whole life. I’d I dealt with a multitude of Rush Limbaugh’s when I was walking through the hallways of my high school.”

Don't forget to look for Chasten's name on the ballot!

The rumor about DJ Jeff Christie being fired from KQV in 1973 after an arrest on Winthrop Street for gay pandering. This rumor supposedly circulated on the UPitt campus for weeks following the firing. Verified parts are that Christie was fired by KQV, that Winthrop Street was a gay pickup spot in that era, and several people have confirmed hearing that same rumor at the time. One person confirmed having heard the rumor a couple of years later in water-cooler gossip at the Richmond VA radio station where he worked. At this time, nobody knew who Jeff Christie was.
