Pence is the real LGBTQ scare factor for this new administration. In 2000 he ran on the platform of redirecting HIV/AIDS treatment funding to conversion therapy [1], among many many other anti-LGBT comments and promises, and continued during his governorship to attempt to legislate bigotry against LGBT people (like banning gay marriage and promoting "religious freedom" to discriminate).

When taken in consideration of how much leeway to decide domestic policy that Trump has promised to give him, Pence is a seriously scary VP for queer people everywhere in the US.
