Pete Buttigieg Didn't Mean THAT Kind of Cruising

Pete Buttigieg, the newly minted Transportation Secretary and first openly LGBT Cabinet member in U.S. history, held a press conference on April 9th. He responded to questions about his office and plans for the transportation industry's future recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. News outlets began sharing headlines that Buttigieg expects “cruising” to begin again this summer. “Cruising” is a term commonly used in gay communities to mean searching for a sexual partner. The interestingly phrased headlines prompted a slew of jokes on Twitter.
