Watch Gov. Pence heap praise on lobbying group that admitted #SB101 was all about same-sex marriage

by Jeremy Hooper

Advance America, an anti-LGBT lobbying group whose head has admitted it sees homosexuality itself as wrong, led a major lobbying effort on behalf of Indiana's now-infamous "religious freedom" law. And in every last material Advance American put out, they fully admitted that getting back at and around same-sex marriage was the intent:

But hey, how would Governor Pence know that this lobbying group was saying such things in order to sell the bill? I mean, it's not like he's a big fan or a close ally or anything.

Oh wait a minute, no—he TOTALLY is;

When Pence signed the bill, his pal Eric Miller was right there at the signing. Because of course he was.

You "abhor discrimination," governor? You sure?

**ALSO: In 2014, Gov. Pence keynoted a strategy luncheon for the Indiana Family Institute, the state's biggest anti-LGBT org:

I guess in order to realize he "abhors discrimination," the governor had to spend a decade witnessing it up close.
