Robertson: Ask Your Gay Son If His Coach Molested Him

Televangelist Pat Robertson today told a parent who asked him how to talk to her gay son “to be understanding,” but also to ask her son if he was molested by his coach(link is external). “Is there a biological thing going on or has he been influenced, has a coach molested him?” Robertson asked, a comment based on the anti-gay myth that children are “recruited” into homosexuality.

“They don’t know what they’re doing, they’re teenagers,” Robertson said of gay youth.
