<\/p>\nDoug Jones\u2019s Gay Son Carson Stares Down Homophobic VP Mike Pence at Senate Swearing-In<\/b>
\n<\/p>\n
Carson Jones, the gay<\/a> son of Democratic Alabama Senator Doug Jones, posted a photo to social media of his dad\u2019s swearing-in on Wednesday. In the photo, Carson appears to be staring down Vice President Mike Pence.<\/p>\n Jones hashtagged the photo \u201c#wemadeit #nocaptionneeded\u201d<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Pence, as his record shows, is no friend to the LGBTQ community.<\/p>\n In 2000\u00a0during his first successful run for Congress<\/a>, Pence\u00a0said that\u00a0he was in favor of sending\u00a0money allocated to care for people with HIV\/AIDS to organizations that provide conversion therapy.<\/p>\n From running a think-tank that published virulently anti-gay<\/a> articles, to attempting\u00a0to divert HIV\/AIDS money to fund conversion therapy, to refusing to protect LGBT Hoosiers from discrimination, to legalizing anti-LGBT discrimination in Indiana, to cozying up to\u00a0notorious homophobes, to supporting\u00a0a ban on gay<\/a> marriage, and decrying the \u2018mainstreaming of homosexuality in the military\u2019 after DADT was repealed, Pence\u2019s record\u00a0is among the worst records on LGBTQ issues of anyone who has ever occupied the office of the Vice President.<\/p>\n Pence recently vacationed in Aspen, Colorado, where his neighbors taunted him with a sign that read \u201cMake America Gay Again.\u201d<\/p>\n The post Doug Jones\u2019s Gay Son Carson Stares Down Homophobic VP Mike Pence at Senate Swearing-In<\/a> appeared first on Towleroad<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
