The reaction of an Iowa voter is going viral after she learned that Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg is not only openly gay, but married as well.
What are the details?
The voter, an unidentified woman, had just signed a card for Buttigieg during Monday's Iowa caucuses when she found out that Buttigieg is gay.
When she learned the news, she insisted that she wasn't aware, and didn't want someone like that in the White House — so she asked the precinct captain if she can take back her vote.
"Are you saying that he has a same-sex partner?" the woman asked. "I don't want anybody like that in the White House. So can I have my card back? I never knew that."
The precinct captain attempted to reason with the woman, and responded, "I don't know, you signed it. We could go ask."
Before the precinct captain made good on her promise, she made an attempt to dissuade the woman from using Buttigieg's sexuality as a reason to avoid voting for him.
"The whole point of it is, though, [Buttigieg's] a human being, right?" she asked. "Just like you and me and it shouldn't really matter."
The woman replied, "Well, he better read the Bible."
The captain responded by insisting that Buttigieg does read the Bible, but that the woman's views are her own.
"He does, and he says that God doesn't choose a political party," the captain answered. "I totally respect your viewpoint on this, but I think that we were not around when the Bible was written."
"Should it matter if it's a woman or a man if you believe in what they say?" the captain later added.
The woman, however, refused to be intimidated, and answered, "It all just went right down the toilet, that's where it all went."
Taking a different route
"I just ask you to look inside your heart, because you sound like a Christian woman to me, and I'm a Christian woman, and my God says to love everybody," the captain insisted.
The video ended before the captain actually found out if the woman was able to take back her card.

I was making deliveries for the fag florist in Chicago as a young man. They all had trouble with hemorrhoids.
They wanted me to march in the Clark St (Gay Day) Parade, but I never would since I was not that way.
One time I was making a delivery near Broadway, Clark and Diversey. This was the neighborhood the fags hung out in. I spotted a Drag Queen. I said, "I know what you are!" The response was not so nice. LOL
They did not like women.
One day several years later when I was working for State of Illinois, I stop in The Brothers Tavern for a couple of beers after work.
This guy came on the TV news who it seems had found his long lost brother. It was one of the designers at that florist shop.
I stood up on rungs of bar stool and pointed the TV and shouted, "THAT GUY IS A FAGGOT!"
Everyone was saying, "How do you know?"
I said, "Because I used to work with the guy. It was the same shop but we had different jobs." ;)
