Chasten Buttigieg has been a homeless community-college student and a Starbucks barista. Now, he could be “first gentleman” — that’s the headline in the Washington Post’s style section Thursday.
The Washington Post decided to do a nice puff piece on 2020 presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg’s spouse, Chasten, and if you want to know literally everything about the man’s life, feel free to click on over and wade through it. The Hill was good enough to publish a condensed version, focusing on Buttigieg’s childhood:
Chasten Buttigieg says he spent childhood reading Harry Potter and "singing Celine Dion at the top of my lungs" https://t.co/yi6IxQBMUy pic.twitter.com/jym17lII3I

Growing up in Michigan, Chasten Buttigieg told the Post in an interview published Thursday that he stood out among his brothers early on in their childhood. Unlike his older siblings who played sports and hunted, Buttigieg said he often would be “inside reading Harry Potter or singing Celine Dion at the top of my lungs while my mom and I were dusting the cabinets.”

Why is this relevant? I mean, I’m not surprised. But still: why is this relevant to anything the man is planning to do?

Ok….i spent my childhood reading Baby Sitters Club and singing New Kids on the Block quietly because I can't sing that well. I'm not understanding why it matters.
