Mike Pence will become the first vice president to speak at anti-LGBTI conference

[left-of-center2012]

Last year, Trump became the first sitting United States president to attend the anti-LGBTI Values Voter Summit.

Vice President Mike Pence is set to become the first sitting vice president to speak at an anti-LGBTI conference this weekend. Pence will be addressing the Values Voter Summit, an annual conservative conference in D.C. The Values Voter Summit is hosted by anti-LGBTI hate group Family Research Council (FRC).

Pence will be joined by other members of the Trump administration including Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson. Other speakers at the Summit include former Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, Senator Ted Cruz, and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

Additionally, there will be talks by Masterpiece Cakeshop plaintiff Jack Phillips, TV-hosts-turned-activists David and Jason Benham, ‘Activist Mommy’ blogger Elizabeth Johnston, and International Religious Freedom Ambassador Sam Brownback.

All the people listed above have come out against LGBTI rights. For instance, the Benham brothers claimed that gay people cause hurricanes. Elizabeth Johnston has supported conversion therapy. Ted Cruz has argued that trans people shouldn’t use the bathroom in public. And Sam Brownback has supported a rollback of workplace protections for LGBTI people.

3. A confederation of anal-retentive dunces.

All of these people are completely fixated on sexual organs and scatological processes. They are mentally ill and in need of therapy.

8. They should invite Kim Davis

To blather her unenlightenment on the curmudgeon crowd that undoubtedly shows up for such a hate-fest. It would be so fitting to hold one of these in Florida somewhere, perhaps a world record sinkhole would give way beneath them all, ridding the nation of the ignorant pests in one whop for good.
