Claim "Pence advocates for electrically shocking the gay out of people"
FALSE
That was a ridiculous extrapolation from what he said 16 years ago. Here is the exact quote:
web.archive.org
> 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.
"Assistance to those seeking to" implies a voluntary support service for people with HIV, and I think it's safe to presume that by "sexual behavior" he was specifically referring to irresponsible unprotected sex.. You know, the thing that results in HIV..? Yet somehow this has been taken to the most extreme possible interpretation as "literally shocking gay people in a dungeon".
