Vice President Mike Pence's wife once complained that a newspaper was ”promoting homosexuality" by including the number of an LGBT helpline.

The revelations come from a Washington Post profile of the Vice President's wife Karen Pence, who has largely stayed out of the spotlight despite her role as America's Second Lady.

This is fucked up:

In the letter, which the newspaper published, Ms Pence claims that the coverage ”encourages children to think they're gay or lesbian if they have a close relationship with a child of the same sex".

She added: ”I only pray that most parents were able to intercept your article before their children were encouraged to call the Gay/Lesbian Youth Hotline, which encourages them to ‘accept their homosexuality' instead of reassuring them that they are not".

So much hate

Seems a bit sensationalist of a headline.

“encourages children to think they’re gay or lesbian if they have a close relationship with a child of the same sex”.

Hmm.....I wonder what stories she has to tell, lol.

Mother is upset.

Yeah I was expecting to see a picture of her hitting a paper with a broom.

I just realized I don't think I've ever seen Pence's wife.

Piece of shit, has a piece of shit wife.

Wouldn't be surprised if it's a PR move. She's probably the type to give her fervent, unsolicited opinion about "the gays" at every opportunity.

Probably a guy.


Pences wife should shut up.

Just a bit. Ignorance on display nonetheless.

I, for one, am not up to the task of fielding the youthful transgressions of Mrs. Pence...

In Karen Pence's memory is probably a beautiful forbidden love from her youth, one she never could act on and hates herself for. And I bet her lost love was an amazing girl.

 

[RinsFury]

Pence has a deep hatred for LGTBQ people, not surprising at all that a woman who would marry that piece of shit feels the same way.

It must suck to be a beard.

You know, playing the hypothetical situation game, while fun, really dillutes the conversation.

Considering her comments it seems appropriate.

 

[norm9]

Has she done anything since this attack in 1991?

 

[Skellig Gra]

Considering her comments it seems appropriate.

It was a letter she wrote 26 years ago. This is framed as some recent public provocation using her new political status as a bully pulpit. Not excusing her comments just sayin.

 

[Neuromancer]

Does she also believe, like Mike Pence, that you can literally shock the gay out of people with electricity?

Was 1991 not in the original thread title?

Nah I'm guessing a mod added it.

It was not.

Replaced by their sons, daughters and all the other young people who buy into the same rhetoric get the same political influence.

hyper insane Christian family said something homophobic? Damn what a shock.
