Nine-year-old boy adorably asks Pete Buttigieg advice on coming out as gay

With the sleeves of his green gingham shirt rolled and a voting badge pinned to his chest, a nine-year-old boy hopped onto the Denver, Colorado, stage to shake hands with Democratic presidential candidate, Pete Buttigieg.

The boy had a simple question for the former South Bend, Indiana, mayor: “Would you help me tell the world I’m gay, too?”


“I want to be brave like you,” he said, reported BNN Bloomberg.

" I truly don't care what you think of Pete's politics, but I do care a lot that the 9-year-old boy on this stage is living in a very different era than I did three decades ago. pic.twitter.com/bSMnHbfdxi

It was raised in a public event. He chose to run up to the stage and was welcomed with open arms by 1000s of people. Not sure there's a greater coming out story, frankly.
