We have to smile when we read that Irish Prime Minister Taoiseach Leo Varadkar went for breakfast at the home of Vice President Mike Pence, and brought his boyfriend cardiologist Mike Barrett along.
Pence is a conservative Christian and has a vast history of supporting and promoting the sexual orientation hierarchy. He was worked hard for anti-LGBTQ legislation and against same-sex marriage. While governor of Indiana in 2015, he signed a “religious freedom” law that allowed businesses to refuse services to LGBTQ customers. His campaign website suggested he supported gay “conversion” therapy when he ran successfully for a House seat 19 years ago. He also claims that “societal collapse was always brought about following an advent of the deterioration of marriage and family.”
Last year, Varadkar attended the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in New York City with Barrett, noteworthy since the parade had banned LGBTQ groups from participating until 2015.
