Pence VS. Rippon

RE: Pence VS. Rippon
Because it doesn't impact him.  He has no desire to be adulterous with other women.................... Angel
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

He's sure not shy about consorting with other adulterous men.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

His example doesn't seem to rub off . . .

Okay cool.

Can we ban Christianity then?  And then maybe put all of them in re-education camps?  Since that's what they did to LGBT folks.  I mean as long as we're nice to you, it's okay? That's good to know.  I'll prepare the first Re-Education camp to stamp god out of your head, you dear sweet boy.  All in the name of saving you.
"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.

I didn’t say, nor do I advocate anything of the sort.

Ah, but RoadRunner - for a gay person like myself, that is EXACTLY what Pence was supporting.  Have you ever visited a re-education camp?  Talked to someone who has been in one of those CHRISTIAN "Re-Programming" camps?  Talked to someone like myself who was forced into "corrective" therapy?  

I really doubt it.  I would bet my house and my job that you haven't taken a good look at that horror.  The beatings, the all-night "therapy" sessions, the malnutrition and forced labor.  The ones for females are a little different.  They add corrective rape to the mix.  And I'm not just describing a few bad apples here - I'm describing a network.   
But it's just a sick-in-the-head, demon-possessed queer, so if the therapy doesn't take (it doesn't) who cares?  We tried to beat god into him. We did our duty.

This is a small portion of what Pence supported.  And Divinity's response was the best I've ever seen.

Yup gay "therapy"  is essentially a brainwashing camp . That uses abuse to alter people's behaviour . Their is nothing respectful or nice about it.

I would even be careful here.  Are these things that Pence actually said and advocated for.   Or are you taking a little bit of facts (that he may have supported conversion therapy) and filling in a narrative for much of it.  What did he think it was?   Some people may not have realized what they where actually supporting.  There is also different levels or ideas about therapy.  It is my understanding, that some of the laws may prohibit some therapy, that is voluntary and desired by the patient, but does not advance the LGBT agenda.  I think that this is wrong.  But on the other hand, I think that forcing these types of things is more harmful.

I don't look badly on Rippon for not meeting with him.  All I'm asking is that people distinguish between the facts, and the narrative they have made up in their head.  To perhaps consider a little bit of charity, and that it isn't anything more than it appears (a nice gesture).
