Chasten Buttigieg is in the news this week tied to optics around LGBTQ activism and public life alongside his husband, former Transportation Sec. Pete Buttigieg. He’s an American teacher, author, and LGBTQ advocate.
Pete Buttigieg says his family faced a 24-hour visit from Michigan authorities after an anonymous report claimed he endangered his twins. Authorities found the claim false; Buttigieg calls the episode among the darkest hours of his life. The incident follows ongoing political attacks on LGBTQ families.
