The leftist Buttigieg is being promoted as a devout [[Christian]] and a "man of faith" despite him 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]]). In addition, Buttigieg even attributed this sinful desire of his fallen fleshly nature to God, stating that he wished that, "the Mike Pences of the world" would understand that if they have a problem with who he is then their quarrel is with God.<ref>[https://www.cnbc.com/2019/04/10/mike-pence-says-pete-buttigieg-knows-better-after-criticism.html] Mike Pence, facing criticism from 2020 Democratic hopeful Pete Buttigieg over his record on gay rights, says South Bend mayor ‘knows better</ref><ref>[https://www.cbsnews.com/news/franklin-graham-says-pete-buttigieg-should-repent-for-being-gay] Franklin Graham says Pete Buttigieg should repent for being gay</ref><ref><small>Homosexuality is a consequence of rejection of God ([[idolatry]]).
