#NameAPenceMusical Is The Only Good Thing To Come Out Of The Election

Last night, Vice President-elect and gay hater Mike Pence went to see the musical Hamilton on Broadway.

On his way out, the cast addressed him with an extremely poignant speech about diversity:

Tonight, VP-Elect Mike Pence attended #HamiltonBway. After the show, @BrandonVDixon delivered the following statement on behalf of the show. pic.twitter.com/Jsg9Q1pMZs

This morning, the hashtag #BoycottHamilton was trending, especially after Donald Trump demanded the cast apologize for their statements "against" Pence.

Well, that wasn't the only hashtag that people were using.

It all started with this:

\u201cIt would have been more appropriate for @mike_pence to see #Wicked than #Hamilton tonight #NameAPenceMusical\u201d

What came next were thousands of tweets using the name of popular musicals to describe the Trump/Pence office.

I love #NameaPenceMusical because it combines two of my favourite things... Musicals talking about how shitty Mike Pence is
