Adam Rippon, the openly gay figure skater, won a bronze medal for his country last night as a member of the U.S. Olympic skating team. Rippon chose not to meet with Vice President Mike Pence, who will never stand on any knd of legitimate podium celebrating contributions to America. Pence's most notable "accomplishments" as a leading un-American have been the sponsorship of widely condemned "religious freedom" laws that legalized discrimination against gays and his call for the distribution of federal funds to those "seeking to change their sexual behavior."
