→Blacks uncomfortable with Buttigieg's sexuality
“The biggest issue for him is he’s married to a man,” said Phyllis Harris-Drakeford, the Democratic chairwoman of Kershaw County, S.C. “I have no problem with that: You love who you want to love and you have the freedom in this country to do that. But in [[the South]] in particular, that’s not well favored.”<ref>https://hotair.com/headlines/archives/2019/10/pete-buttigieg-courts-black-voters-sexuality-hurdle/</ref>}}

African-Americans have been shown to be a socially conservative voting group that will prove difficult for Buttigieg to make inroads with, despite the candidate’s slew of policy proposals aimed at winning them over. “Conventional wisdom suggests that as the primary moves south that the candidates will be faced with more African-American voters who tend to be more socially conservative,” said Jacob Neiheisel, a political science professor at the University of Buffalo. Neiheisel said that African-Americans are largely [[evangelical]] despite being predominantly Democrat which can be a problem for a homosexual candidate such as Buttigieg to gain traction among these voters.
