Democratic candidate trusts Americans ready for gay president

Pete Buttigieg, an openly gay mayor who is running for US president, said Sunday he believes America will judge him based on the quality of his ideas and experience. Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, launched his candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomination in January. If elected -- which for now seems unlikely -- Buttigieg, a former naval intelligence officer who served in Afghanistan, would become the first openly homosexual president of the United States.
