INDIANAPOLIS (AP) _ Indiana Gov. Mike Pence is defending his staff’s decision to delete pro-gay marriage comments from his Facebook page that he says included personal attacks.
 
  Pence said Thursday that his social media policy allows for differing opinions without personal attacks. He says it mirrors the online commenting policy of many news organizations.
 
  A handful of gay marriage supporters had their comments struck from the governor’s Facebook page Wednesday and were blocked on Twitter. The comments were deleted shortly after the Republican governor said he would support adding Indiana’s gay marriage ban into the state constitution.
 
  However, screen shots provided by one of the commenters show one comment with no clear personal attacks was deleted as was another asking what economic impact Pence’s stance has on the state.
