Wow, fair play to him. I think an invitation to his partner had been extended in theory, previously, but I think it still takes balls to show up to that bigoted arsehole’s house with his boyfriend.

I don’t care how much people moan about Ireland, it still makes me so happy to think how much the country has changed since I was born in 1987.

It definitely took balls.

The man who calls his wife mother.

Maybe Pence can turn to the pathological liar and serial adulterer for guidance.

jam_mac_jam · 14-03-2019 4:25pm

This cheered me up no end. I am sure that bigot is delighted with having to meet a gay irish leader.
Delighted.

Anyone who is seriously anti-gay has an issue with their own sexuality, and will probably come out of the closet eventually, IMHO.

mariaalice · 14-03-2019 4:48pm

I find the relationship angle more interesting, what would you do for the one you love?. In the case of Leo partner, he was prepared to meet a gay-hating born again Christian fair play to him.

Does not look very comfortable in the photos though.

suicide_circus · 14-03-2019 4:49pm

fair play to him.

now can he look after the working people of ireland like he promised?

TheValeyard · 14-03-2019 4:50pm

Was a good idea. Maybe it might give Pence some perspective or revalue his own views.

Unless the rancher level farmers and upper middle class urbanites are now the working people of Ireland, I would say that's a big fat no!

kneemos · 14-03-2019 4:55pm

How often do they get together? Can't be much, considering the distance and their jobs.

Probably my favorite news headline of all time

It's not gay if he pretends he's a woman, or something.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, good one!

biko · 14-03-2019 4:59pm

It's easy to be all up in Pence's face when Trump is actively working on LGBT rights

I can't wait for Leo to bring his partner to Iran

I'd have been more surprised if the story was that he didn't bring his partner to a massive bigot's house.

Didn't know Leo was into golf.

Just do your ****ing job Leo and try fix the ever growing myriad of problems in our country instead of the constant vanity projects.

DEFTLEFTHAND · 14-03-2019 5:14pm

What does he do exactly to oppress the gays of America?

You know that you're not tweeting him here, yeah?

Probably referring to this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_Freedom_Restoration_Act_(Indiana)

Pence says he didn't intend to enable discrimination of any sort against anyone, and amended the bill to copperfasten that, despite opposition from various hardliners. Pence is a prick, but I don't believe he is a bigot.

Umm, you know Varadkar is the head-buck-cat Blueshirt, right? The Arbeitsjuden will be lucky to get some extra gruel in the Winter. :pac::pac::pac:

I doubt Pence would be shocked or give a damn at all..he probably asked for a threesome. Most of those so called conservative US politicians just take their positions to play on their base and get votes.

There's a trend like that across politics. Conservatives get caught up in sex scandals and liberals in financial ones.
