South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg brushed off anti-gay chants from some hecklers who interrupted his Iowa events Tuesday.

At one event, the hecklers invoked the biblical cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, which the Bible said were destroyed because of the behavior of the residents who lived there.

Supporters of the presidential hopeful came to his defense.

A man in a suit jacket standing to the left of the stage stood up and yelled, “Remember Sodom and Gomorrah!”
