2020 Dem Candidate’s Distant Family Makes Accusation: He’s Lying for Political Gain

By Washington Examiner. Pete Buttigieg’s brother-in-law is accusing the gay Democratic presidential hopeful of hijacking his family’s history for political advantage by crafting a bogus backstory of poverty, homelessness, and homophobia.

Rhyan Glezman, 34, a pastor in small-town Michigan, said he was inundated by death threats and hate mail when stories surfaced this month claiming he was a bigot who had fallen out with his younger brother Chasten when Chasten came out of the closet.

The reports were based on a Washington Post article, which described how Chasten, 29, was forced out of the family home and never reconciled with his two brothers. . .

A mayor from a small city and his husband, a child who grew up with nothing and his parents kicked him out … it makes a perfect political story for the campaign,” he said in an interview with the Washington Examiner at his church in Clio. “To me that’s very sad. If that’s all you have to stand on, you’re not fit to be president of the United States.”

The gray church building stands on the outskirts of Clio, a town of about 2,600 people, along a road of sporting goods stores and nondescript restaurant chains. Inside, worshipers are greeted by a verse from Romans: “The pain that you’ve been feeling can’t compare with the joy that’s coming.” Evangelical services are held in a traditional prayer space or, for more enthusiastic participants, in the gym.

Brother of Buttigieg’s Husband: ‘I Just Don’t Support the Gay Lifestyle’

By Washington Examiner. The brother of Pete Buttigieg’s husband said he does not support their marriage.

Rhyan Glezman, a pastor of a Christian church in Michigan, told the Washington Post he was not surprised when his brother Chasten came out.

“I want the best for him,” Glezman said. “I just don’t support the gay lifestyle.” . . .

Chasten Buttigieg, 29, came out the summer after high school graduation. He said he told his family last about his sexuality. . .

After his family’s response, Buttigieg packed his bags and left home. He slept on friends’ couches and sometimes slept in his car in the parking lot of the community college he attended. (Read more from “Brother of Buttigieg’s Husband: ‘I Just Don’t Support the Gay Lifestyle'” HERE)
