Mike Pence’s Beliefs Are Clear: Same-Sex Marriage Leads To ‘Societal Collapse’

A debate has again ensued in recent days over whether or not Vice President Mike Pence supports conversion therapy ― something that’s come up time and again in the past. One conservative outlet, The Federalist, actually claimed this week that there is “no proof” that Pence is anti-LGBTQ at all.

The latest discussion erupted last month, when gay U.S. Olympic skater Adam Rippon criticized the fact that Pence would lead the U.S. delegation in the Pyeongchang Winter Games. Rippon brought up the issue of conversion therapy ― a scurrilous practice that attempts to turn LGBTQ people heterosexual, and that every reputable medical, psychiatric and psychological organization has discredited as both ineffective and harmful.

And USA Today reported last week that Rippon, who’s become an icon in the LGBTQ community for his stance, had refused a meeting with the vice president, according to Rippon’s agent.

In a statement, Pence denied that he had reached out for meeting. On Twitter, he claimed it was “fake news” and a “nonstory” to purport that he had supported conversion therapy, which has been banned for minors in several states across the country. As they have in the past, Pence’s spokespeople also denied that he had ever supported conversion therapy.
