Apparently Scott Adams got to have a private convo with Trump.

yep

I find it funny about the conversion therapy thing with pense. All he said in an interview was he thinks people should *have a choice* to seak conversion therapy if they want it. And that turned into, *Pence says gays need electroshock therapy!*

Mike "Electrocute your homos" Pence

Because the other side of the arguement is ban all therapy on homosexuality. So aparently the sides are ban or shock em better. No middle ground.

Is that where it came from right enough @Goblin_Slayer_Floki ? I'd heard the rumours saying he wanted to electrocute the fags but I didn't really believe it was gospel and I literally didn't give enough of a fuck to look into it further.

except in america, it's asians that are the top of the food chain lol

Its litterally where it came from

He never said he wanted to electricute the gays

today i learned. i didn't think it would be as clear cut. just another example of fake news.

That was spin put on that innocent comment, by people who want conversion therapy banned

and the press wonders why they're getting called the enemy of the people lol

hol' up

I haven't even seen him say that

The accusation was made by *another* person (a Senator or Mayor or something from CA) that he 'supported conversion therapy'

And the 'proof' he provided was that one of the planks in Pence's platform when running for Gov was that funds should be used for 'alternative solutions' or some shit,

which suddenly got extrapolated into 'Pence wants to zap gay people'

when, as a devoutly religious person, most likely implied that he wanted it to go out to various foundations or some shit

pray the gay away, that sort of thing

Which, whilst I still find *that* silly, is somewhat *less* controversial than *electrocuting gay people*

But the key is optional

I think it even became 'parents will be allowed to force their kids to undergo conversion therapy, and the state will pay for it' or some nonsense

None of it even as gov was a mandatory thing

I'm saying he didn't even say 'optional gay zapping'

Oh no

He said 'spend [x] funds on other things'

I never said that either

I remember reading, ironically, the Politifact piece on it

Then clicked through to their links, read it for myself

Then scrolled down to PF's rating, who rated it as 'mostly true' anyway

And I was like 'wt***F***'

I said he was fine with optional conversion therapy. Which covers pray camps, electro, psychiatric, and so on

But he never advocated for electro

it just falls under the umbrella

I don't recall him ever even saying 'conversion' of any sort

Just that he didn't want the funds being spent on this one thing

don't force me to go look it up

I really can't be fucked at 0300

B

and it'll make me all grumpy and shit
