They used the word therapy which could be for anything from adults seeking to change their sexual behavior to parents of minors who are struggling with their sexual identity. Either way I don't feel anyone's sex life is the goverment's business or their job to fund therapy for people seeking it for sexual identity issues.
I don't think Trump is interested in pissing off thousands of gay people by taking away their rights so hopefully he will be firm with that and not just leave it up to Pence.
Sorry my previous link doesn't go directly to the video, sal.
I read the draft and watched the interview. It's definitely proven that the draft of the RNC 2016 platform included 'conversion' therapy specifically.
Here's a link to the excerpt of Chuck Todd asking Reince about the draft platform and questioning him about "conversion" therapy. Reince tells Todd that the issue was amended and taken out of the final platform. http://www.scoopnest.com/user/GavinNewso...8083685376
Here's the full interview, start at 4:50 mark: http://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/vi...6652483893
