What Mike Pence Said on LGBTQ Issues
TIME magazine highlights a lot of Mike Pence anti-LGBTQ stances.
Check it out
He said gay couples signaled ‘societal collapse’
In 2006, as head of the Republican Study Committee, a group of the 100 most-conservative House members, Pence rose in support of a constitutional amendment that would have defined marriage as between a man and a woman. Citing a Harvard researcher, Pence said in his speech, “societal collapse was always brought about following an advent of the deterioration of marriage and family.” Pence also called being gay a choice and said keeping gays from marrying was not discrimination, but an enforcement of “God’s idea.”
He opposed a law that would prohibit discrimination against LGBT people in the workplace
The Employment Non-Discrimination Act would have banned discrimination against people based on sexual orientation. Pence voted against that law in 2007 and later said the law “wages war on freedom and religion in the workplace.”
More than 20 years after the bill was first introduced, the Senate approved the proposal in 2013, but the bill failed in the House.

He opposed the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell
Pence favored the longtime military policy of not letting soldiers openly identify as gay. In 2010, Pence told CNN he did not want to see the military become “a backdrop for social experimentation.” The policy ended in 2011.
He rejected the Obama administration directive on transgender bathrooms
In May, the federal government directed school districts to allow students to use the bathroom of the gender they identify with. The directive came as criticism crescendoed around a North Carolina law that would have restricted the use of bathrooms.
Along with many other conservatives, Pence opposed Obama’s directive and said it was a state issue. “The federal government has not business getting involved in issues of this nature,” Pence said.

'RuPaul's Drag Race' judge Lucian Piane trust Trump over Hillary
RuPaul’s Drag Race music producer Lucian Piane sealed his fate the other night, saying silly things about Hillary Clinton and cheering Donald Trump.
Lucian wrote on Facebook,
“Y’all are so brainwashed to think that saying politically correct things makes a good president. I happen to think political correctness is mind control and oppression of the freedom of speech. I’d rather trust a loud-mouthed buffoon over some politically contrived and politically correct corporate servant. Sure, I disagree with at least half of what Trump says but at least he says it!”
And Twitter, he wrote
I will ABSOLUTELY NOT be voting for @HillaryClinton— Lucian Piane (@RevoLucian) October 4, 2016
The backlash from saying "I won't vote for Hillary" is further proof that y'all have forgotten how to think. https://t.co/fnXSJnSqn1— Lucian Piane (@RevoLucian) October 4, 2016
Never said I was voting for him, I just said I trust him more than her. https://t.co/UfWSOGNHBf— Lucian Piane (@RevoLucian) October 4, 2016
LGBT issues are important to me and have always been. Anyone who knows me knows this. I just feel there are more important issues right now.— Lucian Piane (@RevoLucian) October 4, 2016
Currently, this Tragic Gay is being dragged on social media for this mess. And he should be because how could you think that Trump can be trusted over Hillary? What fool thinks that?

Trump’s Brand New DC Hotel get Vandalized
Over the weekend, Trump brand new hotel got trashed.
As you can see in the pic, there are messages with Black Lives Matter and No Justice No Peace. As of now, there's no one held accountable for this, so it could've been anyone.
I do think it's funny, I could care less about the vandalization. However, I can imagine the Alt-Right will blame Black folks for this.
