LGBTQ activists threw a dance party outside Mike Pence's house and the pictures are epic
"Daddy Pence, come dance."
LGBTQ activists threw a jubilant dance party outside the Washington, D.C., house of vice-president-elect Mike Pence to protest his anti-LGBT record before his official inauguration.
About 200 protesters from WERK for Peace and DisruptJ20 danced their way to Pence's home wearing tutus, stilettos and spandex.
It was a joyful crowd of people of all ages, walking with glow sticks and rainbow flags.

Pence has a history of supporting oppressive policies against the LGBTQ community. He has called same-sex marriage a sign of "societal collapse" and once called for funneling taxpayers' money toward so-called gay conversion therapy.
Here's how the party evolved.
