The Transportation Secretary offered to have House Speaker Mike Johnson over to his home so he could see exactly what his same-sex marriage and family look like.

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was praised after he offered to have House Speaker Mike Johnson over to his home so he could see exactly what his same-sex marriage and family look like.

Buttigieg issued his remarks during an appearance on The Late Show with host Stephen Colbert, addressing Johnson's assertion that same-sex relations are "the dark harbinger of chaos and sexual anarchy that could doom even the strongest republic."


When asked for his thoughts, Buttigieg sighed—but demonstrated a perfect example of grace under fire in responding to Johnson's controversial comments.

You can hear what Buttigieg said in the video below.

Buttigieg responded that he and his husband, educator and activist Chasten Buttigieg, should "just have [Johnson] over":

“If he could see what it’s like when I come home from work, and Chas is bringing the kids home from daycare or vice versa, and one of us is getting the Mac and Cheese ready and the other’s microwaving those freezer meatballs, which are a great cheat code if you’ve got a toddler and you need to feed them quickly, and one won’t take their shoes off and one needs a diaper change."
“Everything about that is chaos, but nothing about this is dark. The love of God is in that household."

Johnson's previous affiliations and statements have raised concerns about his positions. Prior to his congressional tenure, he held a senior role in the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), which has been labeled a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Back in 2004, while he served as legal counsel for the ADF, he actively campaigned for the Louisiana Marriage Amendment, in which he characterized same-sex couples as "inherently unnatural" and drew inappropriate comparisons to pedophilia.

Interestingly, Johnson now professes to have no recollection of making those statements. Additionally, he occupied a leadership position within the Southern Baptist Convention, a group known for its conservative stance on LGBTQ+ issues.

Many praised Buttigieg's response.


Buttigieg has previously garnered praise for his eloquent responses to anti-LGBTQ+ politicians who've voiced their opposition to same-sex marriage.

Last year for instance, he offered a powerful response to Missouri Republican Representative Vicky Hartzler, who went viral after she cried as she begged her Republican colleagues in the House of Representatives to vote against the Respect for Marriage Act (RMA) to protect Americans "who believe in the true meaning of marriage."

When asked for his reaction by CNN personality Don Lemon, Buttigieg said he wishes Hartzler "could see the family life" that Chasten Buttigieg wrote about in a post on Medium, offering a glimpse into a home life that is really not all that different from heterosexual couples.
