PHILADELPHIA — California Lieutenant Gov. and former San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom spoke Wednesday at the Democratic National Convention and repeated a standard Democratic line about Republican vice presidential nominee Mike Pence:

Pence supported overt discrimination and even advocated diverting taxpayer dollars to so-called “conversion therapy.” That’s not “praying away the gay;” it’s emotional torture against our most innocent citizens, our children. Telling them that to live, they must lie. About who they are, and who they love. That’s fundamentally un-American. The age-old choice has never been more clear: We can live our fears or live our dreams.
