Bryan Fischer writes for the AFA’s OneNewsNow: Pete Buttigieg is an open and defiant homosexual who wants to be our next president.

“The fact is, God does not create people that way. Now, there’s circumstances that lead one maybe down that path, and I’m not saying anyone would choose that lifestyle.
