Pat Robertson: Lesbian Friend Might Turn Your Kids Gay

Governor elect Terry McAuliffe has said that he has high hopes for turning the Hampton Roads area of Virginia into a progressive, high tech dynamo.  Most area residents would welcome the economic benefits that would accrue from such a development.  There's one major obstacle, of course: the Christofascist lead by The Family Foundation who want to drag Virginia back to the Dark Ages.  And leading this charge in Hampton Roads with monthly batshitery eruptions is Pat Robertson that make it clear to would be progressive businesses that Hampton Roads remains in inhabited by far too many spittle spewing Kool-Aid drinkers.  Right Wing Watch looks at Robertson's latest insanity in which he advises that having a lesbian friend may turn your children gay:

Pat Robertson told a 700 Club viewer today that she is right to be wary of inviting a lesbian friend over to her home, because that might cause her children to “grow up as lesbians.” Robertson, who has previously claimed that gay people are “trying to recruit more of the straight population,” said that while the viewer should love rather than shun her friend, she should tell her that she doesn’t approve of her “lifestyle.”

“You keep love, you loved her, you were close and your influence may have something significant to her, the idea is you don’t gain anything by shunning,” Robertson said. “But at the same you don’t want your children to grow up as lesbians, that’s what you’re talking about, you don’t want to show them that that’s an acceptable lifestyle for your family.”

He added: “It doesn’t hurt to tell somebody: I love you, we are going to do what we can to be friends if we can. I have my lifestyle, it’s Christian and you have yours, it’s not; I’m sorry we can’t indulge in certain things together.”

In past episodes of the 700 Club, Robertson has alleged that gay people wear dangerous AIDS rings and quipped that gay couples make him want to vomit.

It is Robertson who ought to make decent people want to vomit.
