What did mike pence say about gay people

In the past two presidential elections, the majority of American people rejected the Trump-Pence ticket and the hateful, theocratic extremism associated with MAGA leadership. Mike Pence’s vision for the state is dangerously out of step with the average American’s views on release and equality, and his potential presidency would build devastating consequences for the safety of the Gay community and the ability of our people to live as full members of society. At a time when far-right groups are influencing

Pence attends homophobic sermon streamed on White House YouTube channel

Vice President Mike Pence spoke at a church service Sunday in which religious leaders said, among other things, that homosexuality is caused by "the devil."

The White House streamed the service live, and it’s still available on the official White Dwelling YouTube page.

Minutes after Pence promised congregants at the Holy City Church of God in Christ in Memphis, Tennessee, that he would “stand strong for the values that you hold dear,” Bishop Jerry Wayne Taylor launched into a diatribe about the “demonic” nature of homosexuality.

“We have to encourage adolescent men and women to get married,” Taylor said from the pulpit. “It’s a demonic spirit that causes a woman to want to lie with another woman. It’s a demonic spirit that causes a man to be attracted to another man.”

Pence’s office did not immediately respond to NBC News’ request for comment.

Later, Taylor called homosexuality “unnatural,” justifying his characterization by falsely claiming that same-sex attraction is unique to humans.

“You never see two male animals coming together,” he said. “We’ve got to expose what the devil is doing.”

Mike Pence is the Worst Vice President for LGBTQ People In Latest History

Pence attempted to license discrimination against LGBTQ people by signing into law a religious exemption designed to create swiss cheese out of nondiscrimination laws.

This move require the state:

$60 million in lost business from 12 conventions

$365k of taxpayer coins spent on a PR firm to help dampen the backlash and strive to restore the reputation of Indiana

...and the respect of millions

In 2007, Pence stoked far-right apprehend of LGBTQ non-discrimination protections by lying about ENDA (the Employment Non-Discrimination Act):

"Under ENDA, employees around the country who possess religious convictions that are opposed to homosexual conduct would be forced, in effect, to lay down their rights and convictions at the door. For example, if an employee keeps a Bible in his or her cubicle, if an employee displays a Bible verse on their desk, that employee could be claimed by a homosexual colleague to be creating a hostile work environment because the gay employee objects to passages in the Bible relating to homosexuality."

Meanwhile, Pence blocked hate crimes prevention legislation in Congre

Is Vice President Mike Pence a decent guy? Critics say LGBTQ stance, Trump loyalty raise doubts

WASHINGTON – Throughout most of his three decades in the universal eye, Vice President Mike Pence has been the “cordial conservative.”

As a radio talk show host, he regularly brought on Democratic guests who knew they would get a respectful hearing.

As a conservative firebrand in the House, Pence had friendships across the aisle.

When, running for governor of Indiana in 2012, Pence treated his Democratic opponent as “if we were in a joint parade.”

But now, one of Pence’s defining characteristics – of being nice – is under attack.

Vice President Joe Biden quickly backtracked after being lambasted by progressives and LGBTQ activists for calling Pence a decent guy this month.

That issue may become a litmus test for Democratic 2020 presidential hopefuls with Sen. Elizabeth Warren being askedby a reporter in Iowa just days later if she agreed with Biden, according to the Des Moines Register.

"You don’t assess the vice president is a decent man?" the reporter asked.

"No," Warren said.

Likewise, Montana Sen. Steve Bullock, who is considering running for president, was asked in Cedar Ra

Mike Pence on LGBT Rights: Discrimination Has 'No Place' in Trump Administration

— -- Vice President Mike Pence defended President Trump's decision to let stand an Obama-era order protecting the rights of some LGBT workers, noting that Trump made clear during his campaign that "discrimination would contain no place in our administration."

ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos asked Pence about the response of social conservatives to Trump's judgment last week to keep intact President Obama's 2014 executive order barring discrimination against LGBT employees of federal contractors.

Stephanopoulos referred to the reaction of Bob Vander Plaats of the conservative collective The Family Public figure, who said, "Our base would desire to know who is responsible for what we accept is an issue of religious liberty — that would be of worry to us."

"What's the answer?," Stephanopoulos asked Pence.

The vice president responded that Trump's decision was in line with his message about the LGBT community on the campaign trail.

“I think throughout the campaign, President Trump made it remove that discrimination would have no place
