Christian television personality Pat Robertson claims that gay people will be unable to feel love unless they repent for their homosexual sins.
Host of the nationally-syndicated Christian show The 700 Club, TV pastor Robertson is no stranger to making homophobic comments on air however Robertson stooped to a whole new level with this week’s bizarre claims.
On this week’s segment of the show which airs on ABC Family Robertson spoke of a gay man who suffered from “full-blown AIDS” but was miraculously cured when a Christian family took him in and taught him about the Lord Jesus Christ.
Instead of believing that this man, who he refers to as Robert, was capable of forming a loving relationship with other men, Robertson claims that he “chose the homosexual lifestyle because he craved attention from men,” and warned that “along with the sexual activity came drugs, and soon Robert was facing full-blown AIDS.”
Robertson continued to say:
“A Christian family befriended him and gave him a reason to live, and Robert was looking for acceptance… we have all these myths about homosexuality and he was just being used by people, they just wanted to take advantage and he didn’t know any better.
“He thought that what they were showing him was love when actually it was one form of lust.”
Robertson’s bizarre claims about homosexuals did not stop there as he then went on to directly imply that gay people do not want love, stating:
“When he came free, he wasn’t ‘homosexual’, he was a person looking for love, he wanted the real thing and he got it, God gave him real love.”
