For those not following on twitter – Mike Pence went to Hamilton tonight – got booed by the entire audience, was subjected to massive extended applause after “Immigrants, we get the job done”, and then King George sang “What Comes Next?” directly to him leading to a three minute standing ovation for the King.

Finally some good news.

Tonight Mike Pence was being a good sport trying to enjoy a show and everybody else got self-righteous and ruined his night all because wah wah we’re the left and he’s the devil and we demand respect and human decency but won’t be fucked to show it.

That’s what happens when you attack women’s autonomy, LGBT rights, and cause an HIV crisis in your home state. No one is under any obligation to be polite to you. Get over it.  
PS even the Republicans in his own state fucking loathed him and opposed the shit he tried to pass. That’s how much of a soulless slime ball he is.

Let’s add to this that the lead actor in this play is openly gay and HIV positive and Pence advocates for conversion therapy a very dangerous and ineffective therapy to try and turn gays straight.

All that said, some think that Pence’s little appearance was an attempt to distract us from what really should be issue #1, the aptly (Orewelianesquely named) the first amendment defense act 

Ohhh yikes.

“First, the bill applies to any corporation, organization, or person who “believes or acts in accordance with a religious belief or moral conviction that marriage is or should be recognized as the union of one man and one woman, or that sexual relations are properly reserved to such a marriage.”

Notice how broad that is: any business, agency, or individual, including government employees, hospitals, or huge businesses like Hobby Lobby or Chick-Fil-A. Old-age homes and hospices that turn away gay people – yes, this has actually happened – are covered. Hospitals that refuse a same-sex partner visitation rights – covered. National hotel chains that refuse to rent rooms to gay couples (or unmarried straight ones) – covered.  

And notice that it applies not just to religious beliefs about same-sex marriage, but also to sexual conduct in general. Translation: contraception, sex education, treatment of STDs – all of these are part of the bill.  If a national pharmacy chain wants to refuse to fill prescriptions for the “morning after pill,” if a company wants to fire someone for being pregnant out of wedlock or becoming HIV positive, if a public school wants to stop teaching sex ed – all covered.”
