I didn’t over look it I’m not convinced. I think it was a bit of the opposite given how much time he spends attacking markets and traditional liberalism. I think those were his main points and he wanted to try to undermine LGBT support for Buttigieg and his radical portrayal of what it allegedly means to be gay (one very gay people bother with) was merely his means of attack. His problem was he thought he be all so cute in his insults and that lost him his audience right from the start.

There are a lot of points to make regarding his trash and I have a longer piece I won’t be using. I also think it is interesting to see how people like Peck really has the same sort of anti-individualism views as antigay hate groups. The hate groups attack a so called agenda. Peck doesn’t use “gay agenda” but instead attacks Buttigieg for not upholding some “gay culture” which corresponds with Peck’s own life. Both attack the core value of individualism which the rainbow flag was supposed to show—that everyone is different. There is no conglomerate view call “the gay agenda” or “queer culture.” There are millions of people living their own lives to the irritation of the Dale Pecks and Franklin Grahams of the world.
