Members Popular Post MsGuy Posted March 30, 2015 Members Popular Post Posted March 30, 2015 From the New Yorker magazine: Speaking to reporters in his office in Indianapolis, Pence said that he made the astonishing discovery about gay friends late last week. “A lot of everyday people have gay friends, and they’re not afraid to call and/or e-mail you to tell you that,” Pence said. “To be honest, I’m still trying to process it all.” Pence said that from what he has been able to gather thus far, the phenomenon of “ordinary folks” having gay friends “has been going on for years.” “You could be walking down the street, and without you knowing it, this person is friends with gays and that person is, too,” he said. “It really seems to be pretty widespread.” “It’s the darnedest thing,” he added. While Pence acknowledged that he has “no gay friends personally,” the growing popularity of being friends with gays has made him question whether he has been “missing the boat on this.” “When I see so many people having gay friends, it makes me wonder if I should go out and get one,” he said. “But I guess that would be kind of hard for me to do now.” I was about mid-way through the piece before I realized it was satire.

That's the brilliance of Borowitz, but sadly this was not satire.... 1:18 the good Governor gets a little tongue tied, and the reality of the GOP is front and center. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=hjjyuo921RA AdamSmith 1 Quote

TotallyOz Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 The front page of the Indianapolis Star said something to the effect of Change This Now. I don't think they saw the backlash that was coming. And, I also wonder if this is not a good thing as this make make the SCOTUS understand that gays need to be a protected class? AdamSmith and MsAnn 2 Quote
