[Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg held a private fundraiser Friday morning at San Francisco’s National LGBTQ Center for the Arts, where a group of protesters gathered outside.
Many held signs reading, "Queers Against Pete," the name of an activist group that has emerged in response to the South Bend mayor's moderate policies. On the "Queers Against Pete" website, the group attacks Buttigieg's opposition to free public college and "Medicare for All," among other things.
"As LGBTQIA people our lives are layered and must have an intersectional framework in our analysis, organizing, and movement building," the website states. "We know that: Education justice is LGBTQIA justice. Racial and economic justice are LGBTQIA justice. Decarceration is LGBTQIA justice. Immigrant and refugee justice is LGBTQIA justice."]

[The Guardian also reported that a Buttigieg supporter in the room yelled, "You’re homophobes, that’s what you all are, you’re homophobes!" at the activists, and one responded with, "We’re all gay!"]
This is too priceless. Left eating the Left reaching entirely new heights.

My favorite part is where the Buttigieg supporters automatic reflex was to try and label the protesters homophobic.
