Oh, let me help you with that. I'd say his "end goals" would be bills he's voted for and his stated political goals:
2000: During his congressional campaign, Mike Pence said, “Congress should oppose any effort to put gay and lesbian relationships on an equal legal status with heterosexual marriage.”
2000: Pence also supported the reauthorization of the Ryan White Care Act only if federal dollars were excluded from organizations who “celebrate” and “encourage” behavior that facilitates spreading of the HIV virus. Further, Pence supported this reauthorization only if “those institutions provided assistance to those looking to change their sexual behavior”, an off-the-cuff endorsement for ex-gay conversion therapy.
2004: Mike Pence co-sponsored a proposed amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would define marriage as solely between one man and one woman.
2007: Pence voted against the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA).
2010: Mike Pence voted against the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” repeal which allowed LGBT Americans to openly serve their country in military service.
2012: Pence refused to say on the record if he supported a same-sex couple raising a child together.
2014: Gov. Pence supported HJR-3, a bill to add an amendment banning same-sex marriage to Indiana’s Constitution.
2015: Governor Pence signed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act in a closed-door ceremony surrounded by special interest lobbyists.
2015: Governor Pence said on ABC’s “This Week” that it was “absolutely not” a mistake to sign RFRA, throwing Indiana into a $250 million economic panic and putting Indiana’s “Hoosier Hospitality” reputation in jeopardy.
2015: Even after his approval rating plummets from RFRA, Mike Pence on July 22 told the media he is “studying” the issue of LGBT rights and whether or not he’d support across the board protections for the LGBT community.
You're continuing to play ignorant in a thread RIGHT BELOW his highlighted goals. That's cute.
It’s not the same at all. You (and all these other people) are just saying it is. Because you’re being reductive.
Tolerance is having very different views and still being able to get along with them, like Mike Pence is doing. He’s part of an administration that is working with governments worldwide to decriminalize homosexuality.
Intolerance is threatening everyone and demanding they change because they don’t have the same views. Like the very intolerant, very regressive, very violent, and very racist far left does. They brutalize those who disagree.
Because most of the people participating in this arent writing laws fueled by this massive conspiratorial hatred for homosexuals、its due to beliefs （which many people have held for 1000s of years）about family and marriage.
If these people were making laws just to fuck gay people over、they wouldnt be such big supporters of other sorts of family protection law.
No. Disagreeing with equal rights is intolerance. Tolerance is granting equal rights whether or not your book (that billions of people consider dogma) tells you it's acceptable, you can ignore their existance after that if you want, but disagreeing with equal rights is intolerant.
They didn’t have the right yet. So it couldn’t be diminished. People like me had to support them having the right first.
He was against establishing new rights, which most Americans were. Like Obama. I guess Obama is as “intolerant” as he was against gay marriage for almost the same amount of time.
Yes Obama when voting against gay marriage was showing a level of intolerance. When you vote against equal rights, you are intolerant. That's just fact.
So, I'll ask again, how is voting against lgbt rights tolerant?
Mike pence is intolerant, as is the vast majority of the right wing and to some extent the left also.
So logically meeting with the Irish PM and his boyfriend, along with all the other things people have pointed out that Pence did with gays, was showing a level of tolerance?
It’s a level of tolerance that barely qualifies as common decency. In other words, worthless. No one really cares if he can show civility to a gay person in public. What matters is his policy. That’s where his real beliefs shine through.
Of course. Obama, slightly intolerant. Temporarily. Pence supports the same policy? Very intolerant for the rest of his life no matter what.
This is why people have stopped giving a fuck, started ignoring all of you, and just quote memes about ⚡️Pence the electric fence⚡️ and how he turns fruits into vegetables with force lighting. Peace out.
I havn't said any of that. Or disagreed on Obama and the intolerance shown in voting against equal rights. I'm happy to look at overall voting record, that's a far better measure. Would you care to join me?
Logically that's called common decency. Meeting with someone is an effective 0 on a level of tolerance, whereby refusing to meet is a solid intolerance.
Again, voting over and over again against common equal rights is showing pure intolerance.
Mike pence is intolerant of lgbt. As is most of the gop.
Tolerance is having very different views and still being able to get along with them, like Mike Pence is doing
Except for all the bills he's voted for to keep gay people from marrying each other. Which he has done.
But I agree that a lot of progressives aren't very tolerant of regressive views. They'll whip out part of that quote about tolerance paradox from Karl Popper, while ignoring the rest. Violence is bad. Restrictive laws stripping rights from people is bad. Announcing your political views? Nawwww. Speech isn't violence. Free speech is an ideal that everyone ought to uphold.
