Pence lied when he denied saying he previously advocated gay conversion therapy.
Did Pence request a meeting with figure skater Adam Rippon? Did Rippon refuse?
That record includes a statement on the website he used while running for Congress in 2000 that read “resources should be directed toward those institutions which provide assistance to those seeking to change their sexual behavior” — a statement some interpret as a call for funding of gay conversion therapy. When first asked about the choice of Pence to lead the U.S. delegation, Rippon, 28, told USA Today, “You mean Mike Pence, the same Mike Pence that funded gay conversion therapy? I’m not buying it.”
