Yeah I know, I agree to it
ah alright
The vice president does not have the power to put things into law as easily as a dictator can. Don't you know how the government and processing of laws work? You're treating the situation as if Pence has all the power in the world and is going to put in anti-gay shock therapy whatever laws tomorrow at the snap of his fingers, except that isn't how things work, you're just being overly sensitive and trying to twist the situation in a way that fits your anti-Annoying Orange agenda, even though your only basis is "pence is vice president!"
the problem isn't that pence himself is currently in a dangerous position, but rather that the choice of pence as vice president rather transparently shows that Annoying Orange isn't enthusiastic enough about LGBT issues to stray from party lines. but perhaps more importantly, it gives pence and those like him in now executive positions a legitimizing platform in the federal government that they didn't previously have, and that absolutely makes a difference here
Also do you seriously think the US government is actually going to pass anti-gay and anti-human rights laws as easily as you're describing??
laws aren't the only thing to worry about. we have a divided supreme court that could tip easily to the right with any of the pro-life nominees Annoying Orange has on his list, and that would endanger LGBT citizens for decades to come. Annoying Orange can (and has) also easily strip away protections provided through the executive branch via executive orders, which have the force of law and need only be a legal use of his power as chief executive. of course, the narrative that the administration puts forward, the actions that they take, and the individuals that he elevates to influential seats of power can also all legitimize and empower anti-LGBT sentiments in citizens and in mass media, and this can have incredibly far-reaching effects that aren't easy to measure or remedy
