Chasten's face when Dustin Lance Black and Tom Daley were talking about parenting and their son was everything.
I just noticed this message in my asks from April of 2020. How nice it is to be able to look back on something like this. Back then we could all see how much Pete and Chasten wanted to be dads and how amazing they would be at it, and now here they are being amazing dads to their incredibly cute toddlers.
Shout out to all of Team Pete, wherever you are now. Stay proud!

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) defended her anti-LGBTQ rhetoric after she was widely denounced online in the wake of the Club Q shooting for stoking violence against LGBTQ people.
“That is completely false,” she told Ross Kaminsky on KOA, an AM radio station. “I have never had bad rhetoric towards anyone and their personal preference as an adult.”
Sexual orientation is not a “personal preference” and minors can have sexual orientations. In fact, Boebert herself got pregnant for the first time when she was in high school.
This past Saturday, a shooter entered the LGBTQ bar Club Q in Colorado Springs, Colorado, killed five people, and injured 18 with an AR-15-style weapon before being subdued.
Boebert released a statement saying that “the victims & their families are in my prayers” and was immediately slammed online after spreading hateful rhetoric against LGBTQ people for years, something people said may have contributed to anti-LGBTQ violence.
“You encourage this type of hatred,” Chasten Buttigieg – the husband of out Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg – responded. “Get off Twitter and start looking inward.”
It didn’t take long in the radio interview for Boebert to go back to bashing LGBTQ people.
“What I’ve criticized is the sexualization of our children,” she said, an expression conservatives use to refer to a wide range of actions, including teaching kids that some families have two mothers or two fathers and allowing LGBTQ clubs to form in high schools. It’s unclear exactly what she was referring to.
“And I’ve criticized men dressing up as caricatures of women,” she continued. Drag is an art form with deep roots in LGBTQ culture, and the idea is to play with gender, often to express one’s own femininity, masculinity, or androgyny.
“We don’t need six-year-old children putting dollar bills in the thongs of grown men shaking and twerking in front of children,” Boebert said, possibly referring to a viral photo of a child putting money in the thong of a straight, cisgender woman burlesque performer. “That is child abuse.”
“If there’s an issue that comes up where the government, the public system, is sexualizing our children I’m going to stand up against that. Absolutely. Children can’t get tattoos, but they can be chemically castrated, they could have fixed changes as minors,” she said, again spreading the lie that kids are getting “castrated.” Puberty blockers – what she’s likely referring to – are reversible and have been shown to reduce lifelong suicide risk among trans people. Moreover, taking them is a decision families make with doctors, not with high school dropouts like Boebert.
“It’s gotten worse and worse,” Colorado state Rep. Brianna Titone (D), who is trans, said about anti-LGBTQ rhetoric. “So it’s not a surprise to me, and to a lot of other people that we’re at this point where a violent attack is happening, and it’s happening in a place like [Club Q] because this has been brewing for a long time.”

"Chasten wrote on Twitter that 'our two-month-old son was on a ventilator at the children's hospital when you attacked my husband for being with his family,' with a screenshot of Boebert's tweet wishing fathers well on Sunday.
"Chasten, who turns 33 on Thursday, continued, writing that 'I watched [Pete] take calls and Zooms from our hospital room all day, managing crisis after crisis while our son's heart monitor beeped in the background.'"

I just finished Chasten Buttigieg's book and learned even Chasten's own, far more conservative brother had to weasel on into Fox News and say that everything the gay said was a lie... all because he just 'naturally' is chasing his own money and power, even if it means throwing his brother under the bus. Even Laura Ingraham didn't believe that one.

Activist and writer Chasten Buttigieg slammed Fox News over its interest in his partner’s paternity leave and slammed them saying “it’s been 17 months” and they should look for “new material”. Fox News recently published an article implying that Mr Buttigieg’s husband Pete Buttigieg limited the amount of work during his paternity leave in 2021.
Chasten Buttigieg added: “Go yell at an M&M”…

Chasten Buttigieg, the husband of Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, accused Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) of encouraging the hate that led to Saturday’s deadly shooting in Colorado and told her to “Get off Twitter.”
Five people were killed and at least 25 were injured after a shooter, believed to be 22-year-old Anderson Lee Aldrich, opened fire at a gay nightclub in Colorado Springs, Calif. on Saturday night.
Boebert acknowledged the shooting in her home state shortly after news broke and called for an end to the violence.
“The news out of Colorado Springs is absolutely awful,” she tweeted on Sunday morning. “This morning the victims & their families are in my prayers. This lawless violence needs to end and end quickly.”
Chasten Buttigieg tweeted in response, “You encourage this type of hatred. Get off Twitter and start looking inward.”
In a separate tweet, Buttigieg directly linked the GOP to violent rhetoric against the LGBTQ community.
