Two gay men are throwing Mike Pence a fancy-schmancy fundraiser
Billy Stoltz — one of the gay owners of The Caribou Club in Aspen, Colorado — is reportedly allowing his club to be used for a fancy fundraiser for antigay Vice President Mike Pence.

Former NC Gov. Pat McCrory’s record was too antigay for him to get a...
Well, this is embarrassing. It turns out former North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory lost out on a position with the Department of Energy because Donald Trump found him too problematic.
Newly leaked documents detail problems in McCrory’s record which blocked him from gaining higher-level positions within the government. Chief among them: the former Governor’s signing of a bill that stripped cities of their LGBTQ protection ordinances, and that forced transgender individuals to use the bathroom of their assigned birth sex.
McCrory...

Trump just shivved Mike Pence & he didn’t see it coming
If there’s one thing that Vice President Mike Pence wants more than the rapture, it’s to become President of the United States. To further his goal, the evangelical Christian has become a loyal Trump apologist – the “cheerleader of the porn star presidency,” as out presidential candidate and fellow Hoosier, Pete Buttigieg, called him.
Donald Trump, however, is not known for his own loyalty. And he just proved it to Pence in a rather pointed manner.
Asked if Pence would have...
Surprising absolutely nobody, Mike Pence defends Trump’s Pride Flag ban
Crawling out from under his usual rock, Vice President Mike Pence has stepped forward to defend a ban on flying the Pride Flag at US Embassies.
“It’s the right decision,” Pence told NBC. “As the president said on the night we were elected, we’re proud to be able to serve every American.

The move...

The Vice President and his family have just released a children’s book based on their real-life rabbit Marlon Bundo, which was written by Pence’s daughter and illustrated by his wife, second lady Karen Pence.
But their foray into the world of publishing may have been thwarted by Last Week Tonight host John Oliver, who with the help of writer Jill Twiss has released his own Bundo book,...

Two out and proud Olympians, figure skater Adam Rippon and freestyle skier Gus Kenworthy, have joined forces in their beliefs that Vice President Mike Pence should not be leading the Olympic delegation next month in South Korea.
Rippon was the first one to speak out about this earlier this month, where he blasted the White House for sending Pence due to his well-known anti-LGBT views. “You mean Mike Pence, the same Mike Pence that funded gay conversion therapy?” he said...
Trump joked VP Mike Pence wants to ‘hang all the gays’
On LGBTI rights, could Mike Pence be even worse than Trump?
President Donald Trump has reportedly said he believes, ‘jokingly’, his VP Mike Pence wants to ‘hang all the gays’.
