Anyone know if the protests in Austin are going to be continuing into a third night? Will be in the city and would like to be there for at least a bit.

spacetoaster posted:Where you getting that from? The only thing I could find was this statement from almost 20 years ago: "Resources should be directed toward those institutions which provide assistance to those seeking to change their sexual behavior." Hey, I know this is the protest thread but I gotta defend my e-honor. Phone posting so no links but you pretty easily Google "Mike Pence gay rights" and find what I'm talking about. So that statement was made 20 years ago, sure, but Pence has never said anything since to repudiate it. Indeed, even after he was accused of supporting gay conversion therapy (which is basically psychological torture and illegal in five states) on the basis of that statement, he never claimed otherwise. Dude knows who butters his bread and sure enough, evangelicals voted for Trump/Pence in droves. In addition, Pence has: -signed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which made it legal to refuse services to someone based on their sexual orientation. -has already declared that he and Trump will remove the executive order banning bathroom discrimination against transgender students. -stated in a speech that gay marriage would lead to "societal collapse", that homosexuality is a choice, and discrimination against LGBT individuals is following God's will. So yeah, it's very mildly hyperbolic that he wants to put gays in camps. Not by much though!
