The moralistic sense of pride some folks adopt when criticizing the behavior of others has always bugged me. One example - those on the evangelical right who decry a homosexual orientation, while looking the other way when confronting misogynism-run-amuck, like that of Donald Trump.
But Saturday, in New Hampshire, Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Indiana, a candidate for the Democratic Presidential nomination and an openly gay man, countered such attitudes very effectively. Mayor Pete confronted the Christian right on a playing field they have long considered belongs to them alone.
