Earlier this week, Mike Pence hosted a fundraiser for the Republican Governors Association at the gay-owned Caribou Club in Aspen, Colorado. Entry to the event was $35,000 per couple and, in the end, the fundraiser pulled in a total of $700,000. Now, the local sheriff’s department says Pence and his team have stiffed them on the $24,000 security bill. “We had a SWAT team from Garfield County here that I want to see get reimbursed,” Sheriff Joe DiSalvo says. “We had...

A gay-owned private club in Colorado will be hosting a pricey-fundraiser for Mike Pence and the Republican Party. The Caribou Club in Aspen, Colorado, is owned by Billy Stolz and Richard Edwards, and it’s set to host a VIP-only reception with Pence this evening.

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. The event is expected to raise $875,000 for Pence and the Republican National Committee as they try to get Herr Trump re-elected along with a bunch of other elephants. Bob Jenkins, vice chair of Pitkin County Republicans, said that he’ll not reveal the event’s location. He...

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...

Yesterday was the anniversary of three major LGBTQ court victories, and Donald Trump chose to “celebrate” them speaking at an anti-LGBTQ conference. June 26th marked the fourth anniversary of the Obergefell v. Hodges decision (which ended bans on marriage equality in every state), the sixth anniversary of the U.S. v. Windsor decision (which forced the federal government to recognize same-sex marriages), and the sixteenth anniversary of the Lawrence v. Texas decision (which ended sodomy laws in the U.S.), all major...

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...

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. We both feel that way very passionately, but when it comes to the American flagpole, and American embassies, and capitals around the world, one American flag flies.” The move...

Vice President Mike Pence, best known for his nonstop attacks on the LGBTQ community in the name of “religious freedom,” is defending the administration’s decision to stop allowing American embassies to fly the Pride flag in June. While foreign outposts are defying Trump and finding ways to circumvent the guidance, Pence attempted to spin the rebellion as a way the administration is “serving” the LGBTQ community. In an interview with NBC News, Pence confirmed reports that the feds were denying embassies’...

A parody of a book about Mike Pence’s family pet has become a bestseller. 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,...

Ever since before the Olympics begun, gay athlete Adam Rippon has been attacking our Vice President ruthlessly over his past opposition to gay marriage. Even though Pence has never attacked Rippon personally, the Olympian feels the need to garner media attention by trashing our leaders in office. However, Mike Pence is responding with pure class, and it’s driving the left INSANE: https://twitter.com/VP/status/961465775444971521?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Filovemyfreedom.org%2Fmike-pence-responds-pure-class-gay-olympian-keeps-trashing%2F https://twitter.com/VP/status/961466229671284736?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Filovemyfreedom.org%2Fmike-pence-responds-pure-class-gay-olympian-keeps-trashing%2F “Headed to the Olympics to cheer on Team USA.

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...

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’. In the New Yorker profile of the vice president, White House sources have revealed the kind of ‘friendship’ the two men have. ‘Trump thinks Pence is great,’ Bannon told the paper, in a piece titled The Danger of President Pence. But, according to a longtime associate, Trump also likes to ‘let Pence know...
