Mike Pence Swears In Doug Jones as Gay Son Looks On …

In a triumphant turn of events last month, voters elected Democrat Doug Jones to the U.S. Senate seat in Alabama over accused sexual predator and known homophobe Roy Moore. Shortly after the win, Joness son Carson Jones who at the time said he couldnt be prouder of his dad, confirmed to The Advocate that he's gay.

On Wednesday, Carson Jones stood side-by-side with his dad as his father took the Senate oath of office, administered by virulently homophobic VP Mike Pence. Shortly after, Carson Jones, who goes by TheDapperZookeeper on his Instagram page which includes celebratory photos of the day his father won the election, Pride photos, and a picture of him meeting Lance Bass at a gay bar posted a photo at the oath-taking in which he appears to be staring pointedly at Pence.

#nocaptionneeded is one of the hashtags Carson Jones invoked to describe the photo.

As governor of Indiana, Pence signed a license to discriminate law (later amended), which would have allowed businesses to refuse service to LGBT people, and pushed for his state to amend its constitution to ban marriage equality.

At the time of his fathers win, Carson Jones said, "I am obviously thrilled with my dads victory. We have been overwhelmed by the support of so many people that made this happen. Alabama made a really big statement that unity wins out. I couldnt be prouder of him or my home state!"

He also hashtagged the photo of the swearing-in with #wemadeit.
