Washington DC, July 14, 2016—The National LGBTQ Task Force Action Fund is condemning Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s selection of Governor Mike Pence of Indiana as his vice presidential running mate.
“In selecting Mike Pence, Donald Trump has picked a vice-presidential running mate who is best-known for a law that was so extremely anti-LGBTQ that businesses, organizations and major events threatened to flee Indiana in droves. One can only imagine what sort of impact this type of person might have on the lives of LGBTQ people across the country, and on our nation’s economy and future,” said Russell Roybal, Deputy Executive Director, National LGBTQ Task Force Action Fund.
