Today on “The 700 Club,” televangelist Pat Robertson gave out more of his patented advice on how parents should treat their gay children, this time telling a parent of a 17-year-old girl who identifies as gay to love her but to make sure she knows that they “don’t accept the lifestyle.”
“It’s a difficult thing,” Robertson said. “Many young people, they think they’re transsexual and they think they’ve got to have a sex-change operation, they’ve got to do this, that, and the other and they don't really know what they’re talking about because they’re too young to know. I have a feeling the same thing — there’s nothing that says somebody can’t be attracted to the opposite sex.”
He added: “Young girls have crushes and they have crushes on their teachers and they have crushes on other girls as well as boys, that’s one of those things that happens but that’ll get differentiated as she gets older, but if she gets wrapped up in that lifestyle, she may never get out of it.”
