John,

Since Secretary Pete Buttigieg became the only out LGBTQ+ Cabinet secretary in the history of the U.S., bigots have been saying some outlandish things about him and his family. Known anti-LGBTQ lawmakers, including former Vice President Mike Pence and U.S. Representative Lauren Boebert, cannot stop using homophobic tropes and hateful language to make fun of him. We've had enough of them: add your name to tell Pence and Boebert to knock it off - and that you're standing with Pete!

Take a look at what they've said lately:

• Pence keeps joking about Pete taking "maternity leave". When he was called out for it, he doubled down, saying "Pete Buttigieg not only can’t do his job but he can’t take a joke";
• Boebert called Pete a "DEI sympathy hire";
• She also joked about his "maternity leave", claiming he took time off to "chest feed" his kids;
• She later claimed Pete was on-leave to make "R-Rated movies" with Jeff Bezos (we're not sure what she's trying to say here)!

Pence and Boebert think they can say whatever they want - but we won't let them get away with it. Add your name to stand against their hate and with Pete today!

Thanks for standing with us,

LGBTQ+ Victory Institute
