Pence wanted to limit HIV funding to groups assisting ‘those seeking to change their sexual behavior’
Mike Pence appeared to favor the now-discredited gay conversion therapy.
During his first successful run for Congress in 2000, now-Indiana Gov. Mike Pence wrote on his website in a section on LGBT issues that money from a program to help those with HIV/AIDS should go to organizations “which provide assistance to those seeking to change their sexual behavior.”
Pence also wrote that he opposed same-sex marriage and extending minority protections to LGBT individuals. BuzzFeed News first tweeted about the section last year.
Here’s what Pence proposed:

• Congress should oppose any effort to recognize homosexual’s as a “discreet and insular minority” entitled to the protection of anti-discrimination laws similar to those extended to women and ethnic minorities.
• Congress should support the reauthorization of the Ryan White Care Act only after completion of an audit to ensure that federal dollars were no longer being given to organizations that celebrate and encourage the types of behaviors that facilitate the spreading of the HIV virus. Resources should be directed toward those institutions which provide assistance to those seeking to change their sexual behavior.

He is a republican so you already knew he was a nasty person even if you didn’t know anything else about him.

“change their sexual behavior” Does that mean using a different position? These people are endlessly obsessed with the sexual activities of others. The logical conclusion is that they ain’t gettin any.

Yeah, I didn’t know there was something that would change your sexuality. If I knew about it, I would of done it after my first boyfriend, I would double my wardrobe and I would have someone who has a better understanding of what a woman wants lol.
