    I find all your articles very thoughtful and thought provoking. I would like to see you write an article addressing the question of Buttegeig as President from a Christian perspective. What would it mean for our country to have an openly gay, married president? Should that be a primary concern? Or just one factor amongst many factors when deciding on the best (from available choices) leader of our country?
