If you’ve ever looked at Mike Pence and thought you’d like to see him in a pair of hot pants, today’s your lucky day. (Also, please take a few steps away from us.)
A gay man named Glen Pannell bears an uncanny resemblance to our soon-to-be Veep Creep, and he’s using that likeness to its best possible effect by trawling the New York streets in a pair of sky-blue short-shorts.

Unlike Mike Pence, however, Pannell’s alter ego “Mike Hot-Pence” collects money for Planned Parenthood. And he does it in all in a pair of really sexy hot pants, in case you somehow missed that part.
“I was really dejected after the election and spent a month as a prisoner of my Facebook feed,” he tells People. “But then I decided to do something to make a difference and put my likeness to Pence to good use.”

For a series on his blog called “Times Square Weirdness,” writer Howard Sherman profiled the 51-year-old graphic designer, who explained the character was born on Halloween, when he decided to dress up as “Sexy Mike Pence.”
“Once I decided on jacket and tie for the top half and short shorts for the bottom half, the ‘Hot-Pence’ moniker popped into my head,” he told Sherman. “And that’s the origin story of Mike Hot-Pence.”
We hope Pannell is ushering in a new phase of left-leaning characters loosely based on our least favorite conversative creeplings.
A few possibilities off the top of our head:
Steve Banshee, Senior Advisor
Baseball Mitt Romney, Secretary of State
Bent Carson, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
President-Elect Donald Tramp

@Alistair Wiseman: you’re right. All of those unwanted babies should be born into horrible situations, alcoholic parents, prostitute mothers so eventually we have to pay for their incarceration. How many babies have you adopted? Phucking idiot.

@Alistair Wiseman: What is sad is the ignorance of some people who can’t seem to separate political ideology from reality. Anyone who has taken the time to learn about Planned Parenthood knows that the organization does far more than provide abortions. STD screenings and treatment, fertility assistance, women’s wellness: both physical and mental, teen services and contraception aids are just few of other services provided. It seems a strange philosophy to want to deny women – especially poor ones – contraceptives and abortions, because if they birth unwanted children and require some form of public assistance – the very people who want to control their reproductive rights would then brand them as “welfare queens”, a drag on the economy, takers of free stuff, lazy and the list goes on.

If you zoom in on that guy’s face, he looks more like Tim Gunn than Pence.

@TinoTurner: ……….Since you are so concerned about all those babies being killed, I have one question for you. How many unwanted kids that are in orphanages have you adopted??? I want to know. If your answer is …”None.” Then SHUT YOUR FLIPPIN’ MOUTH!…and NEVER address this issue again.

@TinoTurner: It is the height of arrogance for a person who was fortunate to have been born to then pontificate as to whether babies deserve to be born or not.
Once a woman allows herself to be fertilized by a male, she enters a contract. She should not break that contract.
All babies are meant to be born. Humans should not interfere with their birth.

There are more than 2.5 million homeless children in the USA, 40% of whom identify (studies reveal) with the LGBTQ+ community. And that is just the tip of an iceberg. Add to that the number of children abused, abducted and murdered each year, and it’s abundantly apparent how str8s take for granted and abuse their “inalienable” breeding rights. Someone, something has to step in and clean up their mess.

@Brian: I would argue that it is the height of arrogance and enlightenment to state that: “Once a woman allows herself to be fertilized by a male, she enters a contract. She should not break that contract.”
Even if I agreed with that statement, which I do not, what about victims of rape?
Did they allow themselves to be fertilized? Are they still bound under something as ludicrous as a – you got fertilized now you own it – contract?
Arrogance, indeed.

@Brian: And it is even funnier how regressives such as yourself and the hetero Alistair invent fictions. The overwhelming majority of abortions are first trimester, and the fetus involved is not a baby or an infant or a child. Words have meaning, legal definitions trump silly religious stances. Later term abortions are performed in situations where the viability of the fetus is questionable, the possible quality of life is poor or the mother’s life is in danger (of course YOU would prefer to see women die in childbirth, that is obvious given your hatred for women that you share at every possible opportunity).
And those first trimester abortions are overwhelmingly in cases where birth control has failed, or a woman has been forced into sex against her desires, or (often) when an unplanned pregnancy endangers the financial stability of an existing family. That is fact you idiot! Not the product of an unbalanced mind as your statements are.
You have no understanding of life outside of your damp little basement (a metaphor for your mental illness), and that is terribly sad. but there is no reason to tolerate your hateful comments based on nothing but ignorance, lack of empathy for others and a desperate desire for attention.
Liberals, as usual, cite facts. You wouldn’t recognize a fact if somebody shoved it up your hole.

@Brian: ” It is the height of arrogance for a person who was fortunate to have been born to then pontificate as to whether babies deserve to be born or not.”
It is even more arrogant for a virulent misogynist such as you to push your desire to see women subjected to the dangers of childbirth against their will.
It is not surprising that someone who prides themselves on their ignorance would not be cognizant of the dangers of childbirth to the life and health of a mother. Abortion is about 15 times as safe as childbirth in the US. Maternal death in pregnancy has been on the rise in the US for the past 20 years or so and our rate of maternal death is among the highest in the developed world. The notion that “all babies deserve to be born” is a child’s notion that does not have any relation to reality. All families deserve to stay housed and fed, not to be stressed by unplanned pregnancies. How dare you try and impose your ignorance of the real world on others and dress it up as compassion. You would not recognize compassion if it smacked you in the face.

@Brian: “Let’s not forget that abortion culls gays and women. Abortion is homophobia and misogyny rolled into one.”
Fact: the overwhelming number of abortions occurs in the first trimester (12 weeks) sonograms to determine sex are typically done at 18-20 weeks. So your notion about aborting girls is stupid and incorrect, not to mention illegal and never done in the US. As for aborting to “cull gays”…you must be insane, there is no way to determine if a child will be gay until they admit to being gay. At that point perhaps those who think like you (disjunct and confused thought patterns) might try to kill them, but that is actual murder.
YOUR POSTS ARE MISOGYNY, and possibly homophobia as well, reproductive choice is not in any way. It is called reality, there are probably drugs that would enable you to experience it.

@Alistair Wiseman: “Democrats love killing millions of those babies. The “party of compassion” and protecting the vulnerable in our society doesn’t seem to apply to innocent, nascent human life. Sad.”
Care much for already born children, or do you simply shake your head and “think their mothers should have kept their legs closed”, as your peers do? You know, people get very tired of mean spirited ignorant evangelicals masquerading as gay folks to come here and spread hatred and ignorance. Please stop. People do not want you here, we are proud to be gay, we pride ourselves on opinions based on facts and reality, not ignorance disdain and superstition. you will not change minds, and lying about who you are is indicative of low integrity. In Short “go away straight boy, you are not wanted”.

@TinoTurner: I don’t think there is any way to keep track of who has abortions. After many years working in welfare, I could tell you many of the types of people you mentioned ARE bringing children into horrible situations. For several reasons – they do not take responsibility, being a parent is a status symbol, free money from welfare while not a lot sure beats working full time where you can get fired and there are more reasons.
I would hazard a guess that a majority of people in the right to life movement are women who are mothers, grandmothers etc. They do give a lot of money for crisis pregnancy centers. But even if they didn’t, if everyone were required to give money to have an opinion, either there would be so much donated, there would be no more problems in the USA or people would stop having opinions.
Last, there is some research, but I think much more needs to be done on the idea that father (husband/committed boyfriend) or potential father’s input after conception and birth being discounted has a heavy price tag that has yet to even begun being calculated. In a related but different direction, I would say those who claim it is a woman’s body and only her decision, then all the power includes all the responsibility. Men shouldn’t have to pay child support.
Jaroslaw
I would like to add something to my second paragraph above. I did think of this, but my mind was racing ahead to the third paragraph and I forgot to type it out above so…. — I would add that a very good case can be made without religious sentiment that life begins at the beginning. Room here does not permit a complete discussion, but the products of conception at whatever state of development are a constant entity and do not change just because one pregnant woman WANTS to have a baby and another doesn’t. So for the woman who does, she takes special care of herself, has supplemental vitamins and lots of prenatal doctor visits. If someone pushes her down the stairs and she aborts due to injury, many states can charge the perpetrator with murder. And imperfect analogy, but illustrative just the same is the idea that life begins a the beginning would be a farmer who plants a field. If someone out of malice destroys the seeds or developing plants, I’m absolutely sure damages could be pursued.
I do not suggest there aren’t some really difficult situations – rape and the mother’s life. But the slippery slope is real. The disregard for human life increases regularly. Read up on the assisted suicide issue in the Netherlands. The option to die is becoming the duty to die. Costs to keep people in nursing homes grows ever more, doctors and family can be pressured to give a less glowing assessment of “quality of life” which is a deciding factor to allow suicide.
Brian
@Jaroslaw: There is also the disregard for life that some gay-identifying men display in the form of self-harm through drug use and STD transmission/acquisition.

CENSORSHIP IS ALIVE AND THRIVING HERE AT QUEERTY!!!
NOTICE THAT MY POST YOU ALL RESPONDED TO HAS BEEN DELETED? THE SOCIALLY PROGRESSIVE LEFTIST MARXISTS HERE AT QUEERTY TALK A GOOD GAME ABOUT COMPASSION, INCLUSIVENESS AND DIVERSITY, BUT SOMEHOW CAN’T SEEM TO APPLY THOSE CONCEPTS INTO REAL EXPERIENCE.
QUEERTY, YOU REALLY YOU FELT THE NEED TO DELETE A TWO SENTENCE POST ABOUT THE FACTUAL EVENTS THAT HAPPEN AT PLANNED PARENTHOOD?
Alistair Wiseman
Queerty, there has been much discussion recently about “fake news” and how it affects the news media and their viewers and customers. There is an ongoing discussion of how to eradicate its existence.
What you continually do, is just the opposite. You censor information/posts that don’t fit in with your Leftist narrative? Why do you engage in censorship? Do truth and facts bother you so much that you feel that you need to delete them or never even let them post? What you do is not even liberal. Liberals have ALWAYS believed in free speech. Why don’t you?
I have repeatedly asked you what your policy is on censorship. I know you have seen my question and ignored it each time.
So I’ll ask you again: What is your policy on censorship? And why do you continually engage in censorship?

@Doug: me too

@Alistair Wiseman: Queerty is generally tolerant of differing viewpoints when compared to other gay media sites. Other gay media sites are censorship-happy.
