Former Vice President Mike Pence has confirmed that he took notes on his conversations with former President Trump leading up to the Jan. 6 riot, as Trump repeatedly pressured him to reject the results of the 2020 election during the certification in Congress.
What laws specifically?
Dude, I seriously want to at least know the names of those laws so I can get a first-hand judgement. Stop evading questions please
it’s not my job to educate random internet strangers. have some self-respect and make an effort to educate yourself.
have a nice day.
If I Google “pence anti-lgbt laws” I’ll probably get an already biased source that doesn’t mention the laws themselves, and if you don’t know them either you can just tell the internet
you may respond by writing, in as much detail as you like, in what way you believe this is my problem. I promise to downvote it.
In case you’re unaware, you’re coming off as deliberately combative and unwilling to do even a modicum of research yourself while insisting that total strangers do all the work for you and spoon-feed you every bit of information you want.
That makes it seem like you’re not actually interested in learning anything, and instead are simply looking for a fight. I wouldn’t dare speculate on whether or not that’s actually the case or not, but that is why you’re being downvoted.
Oh, sorry, I just don’t like using headlines as my main source of information

Two quotes:
“But let me say on this issue, if we got to know each other, you’d know the Pences love everybody,” Pence continued. “We treat everybody the way we want to be treated. But on this issue, and it’s frankly something that when the Obergefell decision was made which legalized same-sex marriage in America, the Supreme Court, Justice Kennedy wrote at the end, that this decision will likely create an intersection and tension between people in same-sex relationships and people in the exercise of their religious liberty.”
“Look, I believe marriage is between a man and a woman, I believe in traditional marriage, and I believe marriage was ordained by God and instituted in the law, but we live in a pluralistic society, and the way we go forward, and the way we come together as a country united, I believe, is when we respect: Your right to believe and my right to believe what we believe,” Pence said.
There’s not exactly a specific law because it was decided by the Supreme Court. He’d most certainly support a law in Congress to overturn the Supreme Court decision though.
He’s literally saying “I don’t personally agree with it, but this country is diverse and I’ll have to accept it” how’s that removing LGBT rights?
Your summary is certainly not about removing LBTG rights, it’s saying he agrees with the institutions of the United States. I find it interesting however that that’s how you’d choose to summarize the quotes.
The part about removing LGBT rights is where he’s saying that law is / should be god’s will implemented and that god’s will is marriage being purely between a man and a woman. He can say he loves all equally, but he shows that’s not true when he classifies some people’s marriages as being unworthy of legal recognition.
Again, he says that’s his opinion but that America is too big and diverse to enforce it
In all the time and with all the keystrokes that you typed this chain, you could have googled “Mike pence, marriage equality”.

And then why didn’t you do it?
I don’t need to, I’m familiar with the topic.
