Pro-LGBTQ Protestors Threw a Queer Dance Party in Front of Mike Pence’s House
Donald Trump’s (iffy) inauguration is set for tomorrow, and while plenty of folks are ready to protest, some have already gotten the party started. Pro-LGBTQ protestors held a “Queer Dance Party” in front of Mike Pence’s house last night, and it was absolutely amazing.
“We are here tonight to send a clear message to Daddy Pence that we will not tolerate bigotry and hate in our country,” organizer Firas Nasr told the crowd, according to CNN, before leading the peaceful, partying group of approximately 200 folks to Mike Pence’s rented home.
Trump’s VP-elect already received a wildly unexpected welcome from his new neighbors, and last night his, er, guests were ready to bring the joy to his hood with singing, dancing and lots of love to go around.
