I wasn't going to comment on this because I know I would catch all sorts of hell for saying what my thoughts are for this subject, from both sides and the middle. But the temptation is just too strong, so let's do it anyway. This will be from a Christian (which I am) point of view and the outside of Christianity point of view.
First off, Buttigeig is, in real time, sinning right before our eyes. Homosexuality IS a sin in Christianity because that's not the way God set it up. Read the Bible in all areas where it covers it and set it says one man and one woman. God finalizes the marriage, which means He's a part of it as well. If the Bible is the inspired and Living Word of God, then followers in Christ must follow it. And to be a true follower in Christ, you must accept Jesus as Lord and savior, and submit your life to Him. The main reason is simple: Jesus IS God. Did Jesus discuss homosexuality? No, but he did talk about marriage and how it is between a man and a woman. It's true He didn't speak down on it, but he followed the law that said you can't sleep with someone of the same sex, which interprets he didn't say it was okay and acceptable.
Just being a good boy or girl doesn't give you a spot in Heaven. Think of it as getting a driver's license. Sure, it doesn't mean you can't drive, BUT not having that license means you can't drive on the roads legally. If you do and the cops pull you over, and see that you don't have a license, they'll throw you in jail, regardless if this was your first offense and how well you can drive. Same principal here. Now, that doesn't mean the Bible encourages hatred and violence towards homosexuals, that's not even remotely true (it encourages to love and pray for everyone, including homosexuals), but in order to be in God's grace and have a pathway to Heaven, you will need to cast down ALL sin, whether it be for the ones you don't do or be forgiven for the ones you have done. Buttigeig sounds good when talking about God, but he's willing going against Him for doing homosexual acts. He's nitpicking what he likes and doesn't like, and that's going to be a disaster for him later on down the road. Probably already is within his own biological family, but that's his problem.
Now that I got the Christian point of view out of the way, let's talk about outside the spectrum of Christianity. On the biological front: people of the same sex sleeping with each other can't reproduce. That's just a fact. There has to be someone of the opposite sex to do this, whether it be via sex with them, a surrogate, or just the parts have to be present (surgically put on). With the exception of sleeping with the opposite sex (unless it's with prostitutes), all that costs money and can create internal and external problems In addition, more for men than it is for women, aids develops. It ONLY happens when 2 men are, well, not to be graphic but, up the ol' poop shoot. The only way a woman gets it is if the man they slept with just had sex with another man, and did what I just described. So in a way, it's probably not a good idea, from a natural stand point, to do it with the same sex because it's more collateral damage than what you know.
For the homosexuals out there, it's your life. Do what you want to do with it. I don't agree with your preference in the same sex, from both my faith and biological points of view, but you're big boys and girls. Franklin Graham believes the same way I do. It doesn't mean we hate homosexuals. I have 2 family members, a few friends, and some patients that are homosexuals, and they're good people, and they know where I stand on this issue. Having a disagreement doesn't equal hate or intolerance. The ONLY religion that truly HATES AND IS INTOLERANT not only towards homosexuality but homosexuals themselves, is the religion of fundamental Islam. I would also throw in some aspects of militant humanism as well because of the whole evolution aspect, but more so Islam.
