Adam Rippon To Mike Pence: "Are You Still For Me? Are You Still For Other LGBTQ Americans?"

Out Olympian Adam Rippon on CNN's New Day this morning said now that the Winter Olympics are over, he'd be willing to meet with Vice President Mike Pence about LGBTQ issues.

“Now is the right time,” Rippon said. “The Olympics are over. You don’t get to make any sort of change if you don’t try to at least try to reach across and have the opportunity to speak.”

Rippon said he himself doesn’t have anything personal to address with Pence, but he'd like to see LGBTQ folks who have been affected by Pence's anti-gay policies have a chance to speak with the veep.

“He tweeted at me and he said I want you to know that I’m for you and I’m for all the Olympians, which I think that’s great, but I don’t believe it, because when I go home, are you still for me? Are you still for other LGBTQ Americans? That’s where I feel like the tweet is almost disingenuous.”
