A review of the Vice President Mike Pence's record on LGBT issues finds he argued in the early 1990s that homosexuality is 'a choice' or 'learned behavior'
Pence's opposition to LGBT equality has long drawn the scorn of gay rights activists and made him a champion of the Religious Right. But scrutiny of Pence's record on LGBT issues intensified recently when White House Deputy press secretary Judd Deere suggested last week in a tweet that the vice president wasn't anti-gay because he was having lunch with the Irish prime minister, who is gay, and his partner during a state visit.
Designating gay Americans worthy of such protections under the law, Pence said, would open"a Pandora's Box of legal rights and legal difficulties" and was part of grassroots movements by gay activists for increasing their rights. Pence became president of the Indiana Policy Review in 1991.
