Cynthia Nixon writes in Opinions: 'Mike Pence isn’t 'decent.' He’s insidious.'
Vice President Mike Pence speaks at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Oxon Hill, Md., on March 1. By Cynthia Nixon March 2 at 1:20 PM Cynthia Nixon is an actor and advocate for progressive causes.When a chorus of progressives and LGBTQ activists, including myself, pointed out that a man who has built his career on homophobia and misogyny cannot possibly be considered “decent,” some dismissed it as just outrage Twitter.
Pence played a leading role in the Trump administration’s efforts to ban transgender people from military service, and he serves in an administration that seeks to define transgender Americans out of existence by stripping federal recognition of their gender identity. This is a man whose abhorrence of queer people is so notorious that even President Trump reportedly once joked that Pence “wants to hang them all.
It’s easy to say nice things about Pence when you’re not personally threatened by his agenda. If Biden were being directly attacked in the same way that our community is, I think he would see Pence from a very different vantage point.
