Teacher and LGBT+ rights advocate Chasten Buttigieg has shared a horrifying experience of being confronted by a manager about his sexuality at work.
Buttigieg, who is the husband of US secretary of transportation Pete Buttigieg and helped during his husband’s 2020 campaign, said he was faced with a nerve-wracking experience of coming out at work.
He described on Twitter how an assistant manager found out he was gay while in the employee break room. Buttigieg said the manager “marched out onto the floor, came right up to my face and said, ‘Wait, is it true you’re a f g? ”
