45 Jokes about VP Pence wanting to 'hang all the (gays)"

Still Think He's an Ally? Trump Joked About Gays Being Hanged From Nooses
Although President Trump claimed to be an ally to LGBT people and to protect them from Islamic terrorism, recent reports show how he is apathetic to persecution from his own administration. During the campaign trail, Trump openly joked about Mike Pence's anti-queer agenda, reports The New Yorker.

After a legal scholar told the pair that even if the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade many states would keep abortion legal, Trump said to Pence, "You see? You’ve wasted all this time and energy on it, and it’s not going to end abortion anyway." When gay rights were discussed, he went on to point at Pence, stating, “Don’t ask that guy — he wants to hang them all!”

This conversation — where the president acknowledged his running mate is proudly antagonistic toward LGBT people — is a separate narrative from his platform, where he said he would protect the community.
