Pat Robertson and co-anchor Terry Meeuwsen on the 700 Club today discussed how to help a viewer who is seeking advice on “reverting” her daughter’s “homosexual behavior.” The 700 Club hosts blamed popular culture for encouraging sexual experimentation and Robertson told the mother to stop her daughter from seeing her girlfriend and said that it is “unlikely at that age that she has homosexual tendencies” and that she might just want “to experiment with sex and love and that kind of stuff.” In an earlier episode, Robertson told a father to have his gay son “un-acquire” and “get out of” his sexual orientation through ex-gay reparative therapy.
Meeuwsen: This is Geraldine who says, ‘I recently walked in on my 14-year-old daughter engaged in unsavory acts with her female friend. How should I go about reverting her homosexual behavior?’
Robertson: She’s fourteen, she doesn’t know what her sexuality is, she wants to feel loved and the girlfriend is there in the room.
Meeuwsen: And the culture today, see the culture today is telling kids just to experiment, figure out what you like, what you want, it’s just a decision.
Robertson: She’s fourteen and she doesn’t know. How do you revert? I think what you can see Susie anymore, whatever it is, and you’ve got to explain to her what the Bible says. It’s unlikely at that age that she has homosexual tendencies, I think she just wants to experiment with sex and love and that kind of stuff.
