There's A Gay Guy Dressing Up As Mike Pence Collecting Money For Planned Parenthood

Howard Sherman, an arts administrator who lives in Manhattan, was walking through Times Square earlier this month when he noticed a man bearing a striking resemblance to Vice President-elect Mike Pence dressed in short shorts.

Sherman, whose hobby is photographing the various characters in Times Square, told BuzzFeed News he then started taking photos of the man but did not engage with him in any way.

Sherman posted the photos to his Facebook page, where people soon helped him to identify the Pence lookalike as Glen Pannell, who Sherman then interviewed on his own website.

Pannell, a 51-year-old graphic designer and occasional actor, told BuzzFeed News that he decided to dress up as Pence and collect money for various causes because he was feeling very down after the election.

“The depression kept feeding on itself so I finally decided I had to do something, and it had to be bold and immediate, something I could point to at the end of the day and say, ‘Here’s what I did to make change,'" he said.

Pannell, who came out in his twenties, has so far collected money for Planned Parenthood, the Natural Resources Defense Council, and the Trevor Project — a national suicide hotline for gay and questioning youth — and hopes to collect for the International Refugee Assistance Project.

1. I love it! Mike "Hot Pence" collecting for charities that VP Pence would loathe.

He is a very clever and thoughtful man, coming up with an idea like this one.

4. Awesome

That Racist Homophobe Dope ought to be hot under the collar as he continues slurping Orange Hitler.

He has to be a world record Hypocrite, being such a Holy Roller while defending a lying tax cheat serial adulterer.

5. I completely get this ...

"... I had to do something, and it had to be bold and immediate..."

He's very brave and I really admire him. I hope I can find a way to do the same. In fact I do have an idea that involves art, and I think I'm gonna debut it here on DU in a few weeks. Hope it makes a difference ...

In the 50's now but it depends on when pic was made.
You're right tho, it has been really cold there already, so this guy has real dedication!

(My kiddo lives there & was complaining about how cold it was weeks ago.)
