In a surprising move, Lawrence publicly called out Pence for being "gay" in a recent interview, sparking a heated debate on social media and beyond.
In a bold and unapologetic manner, Lawrence did not hold back in expressing her opinions about Pence and his views on the LGBTQ+ community. While discussing her involvement with GLAAD, an organization dedicated to promoting LGBTQ+ rights, Lawrence questioned Pence's stance on the matter. She boldly stated that "if you're anti-gay, there's a good chance you're gay." This direct jab at Pence's beliefs has left many wondering about the actress's intentions and motives.

This isn't the first time that Lawrence has made headlines for her strong opinions and unfiltered remarks. Known for her refreshing honesty, the Academy Award-winning actress has always been vocal about social and political issues. However, this latest comment has sparked an intense debate, with many questioning the appropriateness and validity of her statement.
In response to Lawrence's comments, supporters of Pence have defended him, citing his conservative beliefs and stance on traditional marriage. Others have criticized Lawrence for her perceived insensitivity towards the LGBTQ+ community and for making assumptions about someone's sexuality. The debate has become a hot topic, with both sides passionately arguing their points of view.
At the GLAAD Media Awards, Jennifer Lawrence took a jab at Mike Pence while presenting an award to honoree Orville Peck.

While it is unclear if Lawrence's remarks were meant to be taken literally or as a form of criticism towards Pence, it has undoubtedly sparked a larger conversation about homophobia and the representation of the LGBTQ+ community in politics. With the 2024 presidential election looming, this controversial statement may have far-reaching consequences and implications.
This isn't the first time that Pence has been accused of being anti-gay. As a vocal opponent of same-sex marriage and a supporter of conversion therapy, the vice president has faced criticism and backlash from the LGBTQ+ community in the past. However, Lawrence's comments have added fuel to the fire, with many calling for a more significant discussion on the role of political leaders in promoting equality and inclusivity.
As the debate rages on, one thing is certain: Jennifer Lawrence has once again made her voice heard and sparked a conversation about an important issue. Whether her comments were meant to be provocative or not, they have certainly succeeded in getting people talking.
Only time will tell if this will have any impact on Pence's political career, but one thing is for sure: Jennifer Lawrence will continue to be a fearless and unapologetic advocate for what she believes in.

Way back in history, during a 40yr period known as the Exodus (of the children of Israel from Egyptian enslavement), Yhwh God, through His servant Moses, provided a series of guiding rules by which they were to live, for their healthiest, happiest life in their own land, several of which applied to sexual behaviors, and the attendant thought patterns supporting those behaviors. Although those behaviors were not uncommon even then, most were forbidden, NOT, as most like MS Lawrence, believe and frequently declare, out of some desire to control, or restrict, the people, but to protect them from themselves, and their own foolish and unreliable “feelings”, because those behaviors are physically, psychologically, and most important spiritually harmful to themselves, their partners in such behaviors, and those around them who care about them too. The harms may not be seen/felt right away, but they are real none the less. It’s never been the people who are rejected but the behaviors and the dangers they present to others as well as themselves. As an RN I have seen these harms; as Christian with that training, Yhwh God’s commands make sense to me. As a family member, I know the distress to family or close friends.
