Homophobe-in-chief Mike Pence rented a house in DC, so his new neighbors are flying rainbow flags
I love this. Nothing warms my heart more than grandparents putting up rainbow flags.
The funny thing is that the Royal Navy now wins awards for its equal opportunity policies and LGBT friendliness.
The thing is, you have to be quite intelligent to get into a modern navy - actually you always did except for the lowest level of muscle in the days of sail. And as we all know, intelligence and education have a liberal bias.
Any minute now we’ll see a flurry of tweets calling this an outrage and demanding an apology from the flags.
Just remember, Governor Pence is not just horrible on LGBTQ, but a whole range of other issues too! But I don’t have a Tax the Rich flag.
No, Pence will probably be in the White House since it isn’t up to Trump’s standards. Besides, someone will need to do the actual work of President since Trump will be too busy touring the country assuring himself people actually love him.
Pence just wants to return to a simpler time when men were men and women were women, and everyone knew which bahroom to use.
In case you don’t know, that’s Katharine Hepburn.
His future rental, the US Navy Observatory, should encircled with flags or perhaps a painted street…
This seems like a good place to mention an initiative in New York to ban conversion therapy. It’s called “Prevention of Emotional Neglect and Childhood Endangerment”, though that’s kind of unwieldy and should probably be shortened somehow.
