LGBT Comedians, Allies React to VP Debate

"God, this debate is like watching sweaters dry, but if one of the sweaters hated gay people" pretty much sums it up.

The Junior Varsity event of election season happened last night, as the two vice presidential nominees debated in Virginia. Hillary's running mate, Virginia senator Tim Kane, and Trump's running mate, offensive Indiana governor Mike Pence, argued over several topics, from terrorism to Trump, though disappointingly nobody brought up Pence's notorious anti-LGBT legislation. And though the debate itself may have been less than thrilling, the reactions from LGBT comedians and our allies on Twitter made the mostly-genial event a bit more entertaining. Here are our favorites:

When everybody weighed in about the candidates.

When nobody grilled Pence on his LGBT stance.

And when they got talking about women's issues.

When they talked about police shootings.

When Pence awkwardly bragged about how much he prays.

When they argued about Trump. (Also we do pretty much anything Ryan Houlihan tells us to)

When they talked about foreign policy.

When they talked about taxes:

When Pence said "whipped out that Mexican thing again" and we were all horrified/confused/turned on....

When we tried to imagine the reactions everyone is going to have tomorrow.

When we realized how little this whole endeavor accomplished.

When Robbie Rozelle reminded us of the biggest takeaway.
