In a speech Sunday at the LGBT Victory Fund Bunch, South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg slammed Vice President Mike Pence while praising his marriage to husband Chasten Buttigieg for bringing him “closer to God.”

“It has made me more compassionate, more understanding, more self-aware and more decent. My marriage to Chasten has made me a better man. And yes, Mr. Vice President, it has moved me closer to God.” –@PeteButtigieg #ElectLGBTQ — Victory Fund (@VictoryFund) April 7, 2019

“My marriage has made me a better man. And yes, Mr. Vice President, it has moved me closer to god. .. If you’ve got a problem with who I am. Your problem is not with me. Your quarrel, sir, is with my creator.” — Edward-Isaac Dovere (@IsaacDovere) April 7, 2019

During his speech, Buttigieg also spoke of his early struggles identifying as an LGBTQ youth.

On a side note, Buttigieg’s music choice appears to have been on-point:
