Buttigieg appears on cover of 'Out' magazine's Pride issue

The Hill

South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg (D) appeared Tuesday on the cover of Out magazine's special edition for the publication's annual Pride issue.

Buttigieg will appear on issues of the magazine this month alongside actress MJ Rodriguez and Stonewall Inn activist Sylvia Rivera, while the magazine referred to the Indiana presidential hopeful as "the most viable gay candidate to run for president to date."

In an interview with the magazine published Tuesday alongside the cover, Buttigieg expressed his support for the Equality Act, a bill which would codify in federal law protections for gay, lesbian, and transgender people against discrimination.
