Impeach! Impeach!

Not so fast, look who we’ll have in his place! Would it be out of the frying pan and into the fire?
Mike Pence insults LGBTQ people at White House World AIDS Day ceremony
LGBTQ Nation

Mike Pence delivered comments about World AIDS Day at the White House, despite his long history of anti-LGBTQ views and opposition to funding for the prevention and treatment of HIV and AIDS.

And, for the second year in a row, he omitted LGBTQ people entirely from his remarks.

When Pence ran for Congress in 2000, his campaign website said that federal HIV/AIDS funding from the Ryan White Care Act should be audited “to ensure that federal dollars were no longer being given to organizations that celebrate and encourage the types of behaviors that facilitate the spreading of the HIV virus” and that money should instead be given to organizations that “provide assistance to those seeking to change their sexual behavior.”

In other words, he thought conversion therapy was a decent way to fight the spread of HIV.
If Trump is impeached don’t look for any change in the Pence administration if anything it might get worst, instead of having a bubbling idiot we would have a cold calculating bigot as president.
As Governor of Indiana, Pence opposed a needle exchange program aimed at curbing a major outbreak of HIV infections in rural counties. Nearly 200 people were infected in one county alone before Pence begrudgingly “compromised” and allowed the local government to seek state approval to set up an exchange.
[…]
“Mike Pence has spent his career putting people in danger by denying them access to HIV prevention and treatment,” said HRC’s Ashland Johnson.
[…]
Yesterday, Donald Trump signed a bill to extend funding for the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), two days before World AIDS Day. Pence said that $100 million of that money would be directed at religious organizations.
We are damn whichever one is in the White House… they both want to erase us!
