The leftist Buttigieg is promoted as a devout [[Christian]] and a "man of faith" despite being a homosexual, and "married" to a man, while [[homosexuality]] is never sanctioned in Scripture, and the Lord Jesus Himself specified that it was male and female that God joined together in marriage, whereas homosexual relations are only condemned in the Bible wherever it manifestly deals with them (see: [[Homosexuality and the Bible]] and [[Homosexuality and biblical interpretation]]).
