Some People are Asking if Mike Pence Really Wants Conversion Therapy for Gays

This is all based on the SNL skit from this past saturday. i think some people assumed Trump really isn't that bad on social issues and just didn't think about his running mate. especially since he has been claiming to support gays .

i don't remember much about when Pence was announced as running mate. i think most of the talk was about who trump was deciding among and the process itself. but not much was said about pence and his position on specific issues. only general crap like his "i''m a christian first" line.

just another example of how much the media sucks in informing people.

Conversion therapy has been discredited and found to be harmful. It saddens me that it's still allowed and yet some people still believe in it. But I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, I mean Michele Bachmann and he husband have been involved in it.

As far as the media is concerned, yes they suck at informing people. But some people are lazy and don't want to do any work to learn anything. Some people just find sources that align with their thinking and stop at that. People that watch Fox news or listen to Rush Limbaugh aren't doing extensive research about other information outlets. It's all a part of the conspiracy against white privilege so they tune it out.
