First Gentlemen

Previous thread.

When is Pete coming to campaign in Illinois? I want to meet him?

Pete Is thicc.

"Tres tristes tigres..."

Chasten does pack a pair of jeans decently. I'll give him that.

Shopping for poetry in flannel. As one does. The facial hair is nice - he really would look great with a beard.

Maybe this time the White House will get a REAL makeover instead of Provincial Frau.

Come on, you have a gay design army just waiting to make it happen.

I'm not normally the biggest fan of taxpayer money going into constant renovations of the White House and have bitched about this extensively before, but in this case... yeah, that gaudy crap has GOT to go.

Thank you OP for creating this new thread.

He went back to that same Des Moines salon today where he got his first sidecut back in October. He gonna be looking foine at the debate tomorrow.

You know it's funny how all the pundits on TV are saying not now, he has a future ahead of him. Because I seem to recall them saying the same thing about Obama. And, if my memory is correct Michele said something similar to "oh no, we are not doing this twice". Not going to pay the wait your turn game. Basically he would get out of politics or never run again and go back to a normal life.

So be careful about assuming Pete will be around to run next time. He may just go back to being a small town mayor or governor or something. Or get out of politics completely. He has his whole life ahead of him, maybe he doesn't want to end up like Hillary.

He is adorable in that Univision clip.

I want him deep, deep in me.

"He has a future ahead of him" is just a diplomatic way of saying he's got no chance. And of course it was used on Obama as well - you'll never see them be this dismissive of straight white guys. In the eyes of the punditry class, only ancient D.C. fixtures should ever run for president. Because that's comfortable and predictable and the way things are done...

[quote] you'll never see them be this dismissive of straight white guys.

Oh please. He's gotten the king's treatment thanks to his sexuality. If he was straight, people would be dismissing him.

[quote] And, if my memory is correct Michele said something similar to "oh no, we are not doing this twice".

LOL. You think you can compare Michelle Obama to that hideous attention whore Chasten? Michelle is a normal human being with a family and responsibilities. Chasten is an underemployed attention whore who is dying to be the next "First Lady".

[quote]you'll never see them be this dismissive of straight white guys.

Oh really?

Chasten would make a good first lady.

Pete is just adorkable. <3

So cute:

Life is strange. Neither of those gaylings could have imagined what the future held.

R18 Chasten was actually kind of cute. My God Pete though - the glow up is real. He's handsome now.

I adore Pete but he looked like the kid you get paired with in science class who has greasy hair and pizza breath.

R19, *I* couldn't have imagined, even a few years ago, a future where a gay man could make a serious run at the presidential nomination. Our society can still be awful, but progress has been made.

Pete posing with his adorable 8-year old mini-me at an event in Iowa.

Another photo with Brixton. I'd be shitting my pants around a pittie (I live on DL so I've heard some stories), so good for him for being so relaxed around him.

r23 Omg, what a precious lil' boy!

On the cover of Le Monde, bitch.

Side profile:

This gorgeous man from Memphis endorsed him today. Sometimes I really wonder how Pete keeps it together... 🤤

Lovingly looking on as the hubby plays Hardball.

Slightly older Fanboi:

Moments after the debate.

Another angle of r28's moment.

R27 Pete is looking at his lips..

He is.

Chasten for VP? Although he’s actually too young - Pete robbed the cradle!

Sheepishly looking at one of his most important endorsers yet - Rep. Ann McLane Kuster, who is going to endorse him at a Concord rally on Friday. I miss sweater Pete...

I can’t wait for this to be over. The cults are fighting it out to be the cult that takes on the Cheeto cult.

Lol at the Hueningkai fan lecturing us about cults.

I think he’s terrible, r37. There’s cult around him, too? Who’s your cult leader?

OMG, R37, you’re obsessed with Pete. He’s not going to win, dummy. I’d vote for him if he did, but he’s not. Grow up.

Such an intelligent looking baby:

Lol at Chasten standing between two giants. 😄

pocket gays !

Pre-Chasten sartorial Realness:

Someone turns 38, tomorrow!

Black and White:

^ Oops sorry, wrong thread.

Heh, he looked so deflated when he realized his staff and supporters were going to sing him "Happy Birthday" at the end of the town hall in Council Bluffs just now.

Crossing the finish line at the South Bend Urban Adventure back in the day.

If that's not a cookie-smelling face, then I don't know what is.

His face admiring his birthday cake .... is also the same face for admiring other things!

With a non-binary Gaysian Fanboi:

Volunteering for Obama in Creston, Iowa in 2008.

Also in the photo are Obama's sisters Auma Obama and Maya Soetoro-Ng.

And another one. The soft baby hair, omg.

Long hair at r43 is hawt look!

Is Pete an only child?

With Susan Rice this morning.

r54 Yes.

Look at this kid in South Carolina yesterday. 😆

^^ Was that zaddy giving him advice on how to get swole, because omg his Insta is... 🤤

Some pretty scary fan ‘art’ from a Fanboi:

^ For some, Adoration can so easily tipped over into Obsession...

Like a fucking BOSS:

r60 Coming back from Chicago for that last stretch of town halls. It's all or nothing now...

I like this one from yesterday as well.

Another stop at that marvelous salon in Des Moines which introduced Pete to the stylish sidecut. This time with Chasten.

Hot or not: college bro revolutionary war reenactor

r63 I want to have sex with everyone in that photo.

With some kiddies today.

Buttigieg must win Iowa or NH to be viable moving forward, correct?

Either that or come in second but strongly ahead of Biden, yes. Showing how many Trump voters he can flip in Iowa will be crucial. Not so much in NH where those will be voting mainly for Tulsi.

Chasten goofing around behind Pete's back in Ottumwa earlier today.

Please enjoy this 9 minute video of Pete interacting with voters on the rope line after one of his events. Features a number of older women to whom Pete is the perfect son they never had - although why hasn’t he met a nice girl yet??

Sending a get well soon message to a supporter

[quote]My other guy:

Baby Pete dancing. Too bad he lost that particular talent..

The supremely fabulous former Corpus Christi mayor Nelda Martinez is coming to Iowa as his surrogate to campaign for him in these final days. Old connections coming home to roost...

Shopping vintage:

Iowa Rep. Phyllis Thede endorsed Pete today. Thede is one of only five black lawmakers in the Iowa legislature. She previously endorsed Kamala and is the mother of Robin Thede, creator of A Black Lady Sketch Show on HBO.

[quote]Iowa State Rep Phyllis Thede is introing Buttigieg in Davenport, his 4th and final stop of the day — she tells the crowd, “He could be my son! And I’m excited about that. I am proud of him, like any mother would be. This is a good man. Can you imagine Pete, my son — my son as President of the United States? This is a beautiful young soul and we need to encourage him."

In short, he's such a nice young man. 😊

I’m in love

Chasten in a Today Show segment about future first gentlemen

I wonder what they are doing for money now that Pete is no longer Mayor. Neither of them is rich and both have student loan debt, Chasten is on leave from his teaching job and they are not suppose to use campaign funds for personal use.

He said last year they'll have to rely on money from his book sales for a while. They definitely aren't using campaign funds.

Money from books sales and maybe some savings from Pete's McKinsey days, R78. But don't worry about him. I'm sure he'll make a lot of money soon.

Salt and pepper:

Lovely photo from Independence, Iowa. His hair has gone so gray in the past year. 😕

On last night's Real Time with Bill Maher:

[quote]Covering Buttigieg events Feb. 2019 vs Feb. 2020.

What a difference a stressful year can make to someone's hair. 😑

Cuties

Spotted heading out for a caucus day run in Des Moines.

In Coralville yesterday. 😊

I love this thread. It makes me smile every day.

A new baby today tried to steal his nose!

he's got a big one

Running in Des Moines with his posse.

He's the only candidate that comes across as a good person.

US Navy sweatshirt 👌🏻

I could not run in both a heavy sweatshirt and sweats though

Okay this got me

Yes he really does come across as a wonderful person. Sadly I don’t think he’ll get the nomination but he’s so young so he has time to really make an impact. I know a lot of straight people who like him. I think he has definitely brought gay into mainstream politics which is incredible. Enough of the closet queens! In a few years people won’t question what one’s sexual orientation is anymore, I truly hope.

r94 Was just about to post that one. Taken yesterday.

Even if he doesn't win or get the nomination, it's so important that he didn't have Chasten locked away back in South Bend through this process. It's important that people see photos like those; that is photos of a gay presidential candidate not ashamed or embarrassed of being seen canoodling with his husband.

Three cheers to them both

Chasten is an astonishingly good political asset.

he makes me smile

Throwback:

They can make love, under the strobelight

Someone on Reddit found this cute throwback tweet from Chasten ..... Pete texts exactly how I expected he would...

Adorable. I honestly think they are a good couple

Together:

Another Fanboi:

This will never happen. Nelly will never be prez

He’s not that nelly

shucks - chasten was a great guy. I see a bright future for him too
