Should sin be redefined based on ever-changing times and pop-culture? What about the Law of Nature and nature’s God? Is there a moral standard? Enter openly gay mayor of South Bend, Indiana, Pete Buttigieg, now a 2020 presidential candidate, who claims his homosexual lifestyle and marriage has brought him closer to God. He also thinks God made him gay, so he obviously concludes homosexuality can’t be a sin.

Can a gay person be a good president? Sure. Why not?
However, when it comes to Pete Buttigieg, a guy who claims to read and follow the Bible and who thinks being a gay isn't a sin, a lot comes into question. I understand non-Christians who think it isn't a sin but the bible is not ambiguous about this. And just so we're clear, I say the same thing about Christians who support abortion and things of the like.

It's interesting to see how discriminatory thinking works its way through the process of presidential candidates. With JFK the question was is the country ready for a catholic president. Prior to him the answer had been no. Then with Obama the question was is the country ready for a black president. And now this question.
In each of these cases, the underlying question is if the majority of the population has let go of its previously held discriminatory views. It took a long time for catholics, a longer time for blacks and still longer for gays. There was a time in our country when catholics were considered so negativly that the building of catholic churches was banned in NYC and catholic schools were looked upon the same way some look upon madrasses today. In those days many protestants believed the pope was the antichrist.
But ultimately the hate filled predjudices fade away. Fortunately the younger generations are realizing that being gay is not the horrible sin punishable by death that they were taught in Sunday school. It takes time but the arc of history bends towards equality.

On the surface this might seem to be the position but even as a child when Kennedy was running I couldn't understand what the problem was. My Father was Catholic and Mother was Lutheran. I went to public School and had friends that were both and frankly it never came up. Maybe someone was an Alter boy or sang in a choir but that was just something else they did. Our little town of 2300 people had No Black People so I only saw them on TV and I loved Amos and Andy and thought nothing of it other than yes they were black but I love the characters and they were funny. As a side note Amos and Andy started as a radio show with white guys doing black dialect. I didn't even know what "racist" meant until I got in to the Army. Then I sure as hell found out because we had real racists and I was very disturbed by what I saw. It was kind of a wake up for me because in basic there wasn't really any time for that and I had a lot of black friends. Only when i tried to do things with them did I see there were problems. But it didn't end there. My best friend at my last duty station was Frank Ortez and there was never any problem when we were IN Service But when we both got out a couple months apart I flew down to Tempe' Ariz. to Visit with him in and wanted to go out and have a few drinks. He told me the club I wanted to go to would throw us out because he was with me or we'd end up dead in the parking lot. Yet another revelation on my part. I never understood racist attitudes because as I see it there is only One Race. The Human Race and I only ever judged another man based on his actions not on his color or where he came from. It still puzzles me Today. However Now I see this reversed racist attitude being pushed by the Left and it also sickens me. We must stop defining ourselves and others in this way. We are who we are and we don't need to create special groups.
