You beat me to it. I have wondered if Tom forgot to put the /s after his post because it's hard to understand why a gay man would say something positive about someone like Pence.
We didn't just meet Sohy. We've known each other for years.
I know you've said that you're somewhat conservative, but Pence is so obviously a theocratic type Christian who would likely try to take away the rights of gay people, like for example gay marriage, that I was surprised that you would say something positive about someone like him. I have gay friends who are married and they would be horrified if Pence became president, at least partly out of fear that he might try to have SCOTUS do away with the right of gay people to marry and receive the same legal and financial rights as us straight married folks.
And, even after he did the right thing legally in 2021, afterwards he went on to defend Trump. He's a coward and/or a hypocrite among other things, so although you and I might not always agree on politics, which is cool, I was honestly surprised you would defend Pence. Does that help you understand where I'm coming from? I know it can be difficult always understanding each other when posting on a discussion board, so if my assumptions are wrong, let's clear this up.
Why would you personally defend someone like Pence, knowing how he feels about people outside of his narrow minded little ideology? Are you telling me that it's not that important to you that Pence would try to take away the rights of gay people, rights that have been won after years of hard work and activism? Did we take your comment too seriously? I honestly thought your comment might be sarcasm, so perhaps, if you feel up to it, you can explain why you would be positive about Pence.
Look! I'm happy that my governor Kemp didn't try to overturn the election in Georgia. He did the right thing. He's even done a few other good things for Georgia, but he still does things to hurt gay people and trans children, and he has been acting lately as if he's pushing Christianity on the rest of us, so just because he did a few good things, doesn't make me want to support him. I think that may be why the "broken clock" example was presented by Patooka. That made sense to me.
