The only response from Mike Pence is from his spokeswoman who stated that the claim is completely false. The claim made by gay figure skater and LGBT rights championioner Adam Rippon was in response to commenting that he was not looking forward to meeting Mike Pence, someone who supported “ex-gay” or conversion therapy, as is tradition for olympic athletes to meet the president and vice president. This is almost a blatant lie by the spokeswoman, Pence voted against a bill that would have suppressed conversion therapy, supported the military keeping the homophobic “don’t ask don’t tell” policy, or replacing it with the older policy banning LGBT individuals from serving. This is nothing more than another lie from a member of the Trump Administration, one who has done nothing but support the destruction of LGBT rights.

He’s done more than “consider a rule”
He’s even created an entire division that fields complaints that these people would make in case someone tries to strong arm them to do it!
He even created a website hot button that use a help desk so it can get you a representative!
We knew they’d try harder after the trans band failed.
this is murder.
Trans women have already been denied care by emergency responders, and died as a result, that has already happened. Now that fucker wants to bring that back, with legal protections for killers who do that.
That is murder. Make no mistake, this will kill people.
While this will affect all LGBT people this is specifically targeted at trans people. Now instead of just having to worry about getting basic gender affirmation care, a trans person (or any other LGBT person for the matter) can just be left in the middle of the road bleeding out after a Nazi tries to kill us.
This is also way more than just a theoretical as stated in the article Bush-era legislature that allowed this allowed at least one transgender woman to die, as she could not get to a doctor in time!

Intimate Partner Violence is an LGBT Issue
The Violence Against Women Act is up for reauthorization in Congress and under both President Donald Trump’s leadership and the strong republican House of Representatives, the pieces of the bill that allow this protection towards LGBT people is risked being taken away, as commentary on the bill by the justice department says “
This groundbreaking provision will ensure that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence and stalking are not denied, on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity, access to the critical services that OVW supports.
“(https://www.justice.gov/archives/ovw/blog/vawa-2013-nondiscrimination-provision-making-programs-accessible-all-victims-domestic) This part of legislation that prevented individuals from being discriminated against and not recieving help if these things occurred can very likely be taken away by the Republican majority.
