Transportation Sec. Pete Buttigieg had sharp words for the Republicans opposing a bill codifying the right to same-sex marriages, urging them to support the legislation's passage in the Senate after it won bipartisan House approval.
Buttigieg, the first openly gay person to be confirmed to a Cabinet position, underscored during a CNN appearance on Sunday what it would mean for the legislation to become law, recounting a typical weekend morning in which he said he tries to take on household duties to give his husband, Chasten, a break.
"If they don't want to spend a lot of time on this, they can vote 'yes' and move on," he continued, "and that would be really reassuring for a lot of families around America, including mine." "If he's got time to fight against Disney, I don't know why he wouldn't have time to safeguard marriages like mine. Look, this is really, really important to a lot of people. It's certainly important to me," Buttigieg said, referencing Rubio's dispute with Disney over the company's criticism of a state law restricting discussions of sexual orientation and gender identity in public schools.
