Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg brushed off attacks from Republicans who make light of his sexuality or he and his husband Chasten being fathers, during a Friday April 8 appearance on The View. Buttigieg, 40, explained that attacks on him personally or dangerous pieces of legislation like Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill are often politically motivated to hide the fact that they don’t have further plans to deal with issues that affect Americans.

Business Insider.The Buttigiegs have recently become fodder for socially conservative right-wingers, who have been incensed at the couple’s decision to adopt twins and by the Secretary’s decision to use parental leave to take care of the newborns shortly after they we’re born. Greene also attacked Lia Thomas, the UPenn swimmer who is the NCAA women’s 500-yard freestyle champion, deadnaming Thomas and echoing comments made by other conservatives that Thomas should not have been allowed to compete. “And old Lia Thomas? Lia is going to have to remember his name is William, and he needs to go back to men’s swimming because we’re going to kick the biological men out of women’s sports,” Greene said.Greene has been a vocal critic of transgender rights, often misgendering transgender individuals and attacking their family members, as she did with fellow Congresswoman Marie Newman’s (D-Ill.) daughter. After Greene railed against the Equality Act — a measure to prohibit discrimination against LGBTQ people in various facets of life — as “an attack on God’s creation,” Newman hung up a transgender flag outside her office, prompting Greene to hang up a sign reading: “There are two genders: Male & Female.

“Don’t Say Gay” bill, highlighting the serious harm it could cause to LGBTQ youth.The Republican-backed bill, which is working its way through Florida’s legislature, would ban discussions of LGBTQ issues “in primary grade levels or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students.”Florida Republicans claim that the bill is a “parental rights” measure which will alert parents to topics that they might otherwise object to. However, Democrats have criticized the legislation, saying it will be interpreted and enforced by school districts in a way that effectively gags any discussion about LGBTQ-related topics, even in passing.Appearing on CNN Newsroom last week, Buttigieg was asked by host Jim Sciutto whether the “Don’t Say Gay” bill is “dangerous.”“Absolutely,” Buttigieg responded.

The National Review has penned a homophobic poem attacking Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and his husband Chasten.Rob Long’s “Happy Seasons” article, published last week, took aim at the Buttigiegs’ parenting abilities, after the couple became fathers to twins earlier this year.Long referred to Chasten as “Mister Mom” and adopted the oft-used homophobic trope that men are bad parents and children need a mother.“But that’s the thing to remember, even when the two dads are gay, they’re still dudes, and most men are just born that way,” Long wrote.“Not trying to sound retro or even a bit anti-trans, but with a diaper to change, your average mans, will put it on backwards or some baffling way, whether he likes Broadway musicals or
