Mike Pence is a fake-Christian. He claims to be a devout follower of Jesus Christ but ignores the New Testament and the teachings of the Son of God. His greatest sin may be the fact that he judges other people, a right only permitted by God the Father, according to Jesus Christ.

Pence is the homophobe who as the Governor of Indiana supported and signed the first anti-gay laws in America. He believed that men and women who owned “Christian” businesses should be allowed to refuse their services to same-sex couples.

Pence is so extreme he is a supporter of ‘conversion therapy.’ This is a misguided and self-serving belief that gay individuals can be “retrained” and become ‘straight.’ Every legitimate psychiatrist and psychologist in America offers opinions which negate the idea of conversion therapy. In fact, they suggest that men and women who undergo this “therapy” can become mentally damage; in some cases irreparably.

The Republican Party is composed of hypocrites. In support of the Christian religious right, which is also unconstitutional, GOP politicians denounce the LGBTQ community and their right to marry the person they love.

Another Republican who adamantly denounced the rights of all men and women to choose the direction of their own lives based on who they really are, admitted that he is a gay man.

“McKrae Game, who founded and led Hope for Wholeness in South Carolina, publicly announced he was gay in early June, more than two years after the organization’s board of directors abruptly fired him.” ‘Hope for Wholeness’ is one of the largest conversion therapy associations in America.

‘Ignorance’ is the only word that comes to mind. Its synonym is ‘prejudice.’ Any man or woman who claims to hate another person based solely on the color of their skin, their racial heritage, their choice of religion, or their sexual orientation chooses to be ignorant. For me, that is an unforgivable sin.

Mike Pence and his Republican Party are sinners.

Tell everyone; “the truth lives here.”
