In November 2013, as governor of South Carolina, Haley opposed a federal
lawsuit challenging an amendment in South Carolina's constitution that banned
same-sex marriage, asserting, “The citizens of South Carolina spoke …
spoke something that I, too, believe, which is marriage should between a man
and a woman. I'm going to stand by the people of this state, stand by the
constitution, I'm going to support it and fight for it every step of the way.”

But in 2016, responding to former president Barack Obama’s State of the Union
Address, she said
the GOP would “respect differences in modern families, but we would also
insist on respect for religious liberty as a cornerstone of our democracy.”

Still, Twitter users took the liberty of ranting against Haley after she noted she
had been abused:

@beardedmiguel @micahcoletti Well, @nikkihaley opposes trans protections, tried to oppose SSMs from other states, and now works for Trump. So yeah, she was booed.
@nikkihaley What has the republican party done to promote Gay Rights Nikki? The vice president thinks a therapy session can change science.
@nikkihaley Yes, you did not deserve it.But think about the company you keep and look who you are currently surrounding yourself with.They represent you

@nikkihaley Why not lead by example for your children and speak out against the homophobic and transphobic agenda set by your boss and Mike Pence?

@nikkihaley Gosh, booed? Were your civil rights denied or job lost or child taken away?

Angry people.
