      It takes willful ignore to think that cis straight white men have not shielded themselves from opinions they don't like for centuries.

          Cis straight white men have done so with laws and in constitutions, with shackles and using nooses.

          No one is running away from anything in today's protest. They live in a country where Pence is VP. They cannot run away from his policies.

          In short, Fournier, and people who share views like him, are both ignorant of the reality of history and of the reality of today.

          Also to suggest people walking out haven't heard Pence's opinion plenty of times. They're walking because they know his record.

          Like with the Indiana RFRA bill Pence signed, basically allowing bigoted people to legally shield themselves from exposure to LGBTQ people.
