virulently anti-gay (Chin)

He openly supported LGBT conversion therapy in 1995 and gave a BS apology about it when it came out in the primary.
He's not sorry that he dehumanized people. He's sorry that he got flack for it in the primary. Thank God Case won.
In what capacity did he support conversion therapy? I can't seem to find what his role was in 1995; he joined the HNL prosecutor's office in 1998. He was very pro-LGBT+ rights as AG. I guess for me his actual policy impact outweighs his earlier personal foibles, but I also was unaware of that past.
I mean, wasn't Hawaii very socially conservative in the 90s?
