Vice President Pence and his family arrived for vacation at a home near Aspen on Tuesday, and neighbors had a message for him: "Make America Gay Again." "You couldn't miss it," Pitkin County Sheriff's deputy Michael Buglione tells the Aspen Times regarding a rainbow banner hung on a stone pillar near the Pences' driveway.
Pence once said same-sex marriage was akin to "societal collapse" and opposed a law banning discrimination against gay people in the workplace. According to an October article in the New Yorker, President Trump reportedly said Pence "wants to hang" all gay people. One of the neighbors tells the Timesthat the banner was the idea of their daughters and one of their daughters' girlfriends.
