I don’t give even one sixty-fourth of a shit that Pete Buttigieg will be the first LGBTQ person to hold a Cabinet post. Yes, it’s significant at this point in time, but I’m yearning for the day when the real news, as regards Mr. Buttigieg or anyone else, is simply that a person who is eminently gifted and capable has been named to a Cabinet post.
End of what would be a refreshingly boring story.
