Chasten Buttigieg Shares His Side of the Story [View all]

When Pete Buttigieg ended his history-making presidential campaign earlier this year, he walked onstage, kissed his husband, Chasten, on the lips, and spoke these words: "We sent a message to every kid out there wondering if whatever marks them out as different means they are somehow destined to be less than, someone who once felt that exact same way can become a leading American presidential candidate with his husband at his side."

Throughout the campaign, the country got to know Chasten Buttigieg in his equally historic role and now they can learn more about the surprising moments that defined him in his new memoir out now, 'I Have Something To Tell You'.

On this week's episode of LGBTQ&A, Chasten Buttigieg opens up about how foundational Matthew Shepard's death was while growing up in northern Michigan, his lifelong desire to become a father, and how the primary campaign taught him "how great our country truly is, but you just have to go look for it sometimes."
