It almost certainly mostly is a matter of appearances, him doing what's "normal" in the religious subculture he's from, that's not the point

My point is partly that sex is muddling up this issue. Any other group he didn't want to be alone with you'd call it out as discrimination

Look Christians like Pence do all kinds of exclusionary shit and pin it on faith. "I can't attend a gay wedding bc I don't 'believe in it'"

As a private citizen, fine, put up whatever social barriers you want, but if you're in a position of significant power then it matters

(And yes, I'd think it was an issue even if Pence were totally secular and liberal in every other respect. Which, of course, he isn't)
