If Pence thought that most of America would cheer his actions he would lynch Rippon ON CAMERA. But no, Rippon is an Olympic athlete with a following. Pence is 2nd in line for the Presidency (gag) so he wants to send a message "I don't hate gays, this one is ok, see, he's a hard worker and I'm cool."
Do you know that if Pence... or are you just guessing. Or are you talking about these rants that are mostly propaganda?
To me, it doesn’t seem like that much to get all worked up about, and may very well be what it seems (a nice gesture).
Pence has supported anti-LGBT legislation and conversion therapy. These actions and his homophobic rants are a matter of public record. No LGBT+ person should ever consider him anything other than evil incarnate until he stands up and publicly recants his previous positions.
